Biblical Cosmology
And Related History
Interpretation of observations of the world
around us is coloured by our belief system:
• Psalm 138 verse 2 (NIV):
..you have exalted above all things your name and your
word”.
• Luke 19 verses 11 & 14 (NIV):
“He (Jesus) went on to tell them a parable, because he
was near Jerusalem and the people thought the
kingdom of God was going to appear at once……
..but his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after
him to say “We don’t want this man to be our king.”
Cosmology According to the Bible
• Genesis 1 >> Exodus 20:8 (NIV)
“Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy....For in six
days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea,
and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.”
– Acts 7:22 (NIV)
“ Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians
and was powerful in speech and action.”
Cosmology According to the Bible
• Genesis 1: 2, 6, Ch 7 >> 2 Peter 3:5 (NIV)
“..by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was
formed out of water and by water. By these waters also
the world was of that time was deluged and destroyed.”
• Genesis 1:14-18 >> Ps 104:2 (Also Isa. 42:5,
44:25, 4813, Jer. 10:12, Zech. 12:1)
“.. He stretches out the heavens like a tent.”
Cosmology According to the Bible
• Genesis 5, 11 >> Luke 3: 23-37 (NIV):
“Now Jesus himself was about 30 years old… He was the
son, so it was supposed of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son
of Matthat……….
the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son
of God.” = 66 generations from Adam (creation) to Jesus.
Departure from Biblical Geology (& Cosmology)
• In Christendom the concept of an Earth older
than 4000 BC only gained recognition in 1830
from Sir Charles Lyell in Principles of Geology,
following work in 1788 by James Hutton.
– Principles of Geology was loaned to Charles Darwin
by the Captain FitzRoy of the HMS Beagle as they set
out on the voyage that resulted in On the Origin of
Species

Humphries White Hole Cosmology
• The Universe has expanded from a previously denser
state
– Same as Big Bang
• The denser state was a Black Hole that flipped into a
White Hole allowed for by General Theory of
Relativity
Humphries White Hole Cosmology
• The Black Hole was a sphere of liquid water two light
years in diameter with event horizon of a billion light
years
• White Hole is opposite of a Black Hole -matter poured
out not in and its event horizon shrank rapidly as
matter left.
• The “Water Above” (Gen 1:7) spread out to 20 billion
light years
– With no impact on Earth since Day 4
Humphries White Hole Cosmology
• All protons in the original Black Hole were aligned
in one direction to give one combined magnetic
dipole that then dispersed into the heavenly bodies
– Humphries predicted the magnetic fields of the planets
of the solar system as decaying over 6000 years from
that field based on planet masses.
– Much better prediction than the Old universe Dynamo
model based on liquid metal cores.

Humphries
Humphries White Hole Cosmology
• The Earth was at or close to the Black/White Hole
• Time was dilated (slowed) greatly on Earth within
the deep gravity well of the Black/White Hole
– until Creation Day 4 when the event horizon of the
White Hole shrank back past Earth
– Billions of years occurred in the expanding Universe as
Day 4 passed on Earth.

Problems with Humphrey Model
• It predicts large Blue shifts from nearby galaxies
that is not observed
• It does not account for events apparently
hundreds of thousands of years old – by redshift
- observed from nearby galaxies
Hartnett’s Revision to Humphrey Model
• The White Hole expansion and its time dilation
(sl0wing) only occurred within our Solar System
– Appears to solve near field problem as the time
differential is function of the distance from the solar
system
• The Waters Above are somewhere out in or just
beyond the Kuiper Belt and may have
contributed to Noah’s flood and comets
Hartnett’s Revision to Humphrey Model
• The White Hole expansion and its time dilation
(sl0wing) only occurred within our Solar System
– Billions of years of aging would have occurred in both
near and far galaxies
– Most events from nearby galaxies passed us by late on
Day 4 or very shortly after and we now observe only
the last few hundred thousand years of their history.
Other Indicators of a Young Universe
• Salinity Clock. The current salinity and rate of
sodium flowing into the oceans only allows for 68
million years accumulation.

the Earth, 2001 Professor J. Powell
• Decaying Planetary Magnetic Fields. Mercury’s
magnetic field measured by Messenger spacecraft
in 2011 has declined 8% since Mariner 10 last
measured it in 1975.

Inconsistency of Radio-metric Dating
• The current dating of the solar system 4.5 Billion
years is based on radio-metric dating of iron
meteorites made back in 1953
– Strangely there has been little attempt to refine or update
this finding compared with most other scientific enquiry
• Basalt rocks laid down on top rim of Grand Canyon
yield radiometric dates 300 million years older than
basalt rocks taken from the bottom of Grand
Canyon using 4 different dating methods
Some Problems with the Big Bang (BB)
Theory
• BB gives no explanation for formation of stars:
– Gravity falls well short of the force needed to
overcome thermal gas pressure sufficient to trigger
nuclear fusion.
• Dismantling the Big Bang, 2005, A. Williams and J. Hartnett,
Gas Cloud Dynamics, pages 143-147, 150-151
• BB cannot predict the distribution observed in
star clusters

Some Problems with the Big Bang Theory
• Inconsistent red shift between Galaxies and
associated QASARS
– Contradicts classic Hubble orthodoxy that increased Red
shift = increased distance from Earth

• Seeing Red: Redshifts, Cosmology and Academic Science, 1998,

• Catalogue of Discordant Redshift Associations, 2003, Halton Arp.
• Halton Arp has suffered continued rejection for
rocking the orthodoxy boat
