Genesis and the Big Bang!
   
  In the Beginning
  Recent discoveries in the field of astronomy, astrophysics, particle physics, and molecular biology have cast a new light on the traditional accounts in Genesis 1. Furthermore, the most advanced views of the origin of the universe prove to be surprisingly consistent with the insights of the Hebrews scholars of eight centuries ago.
   
  Let There Be Light
 

Among the most elusive areas of modern science has been the nature of light, the subject of the first direct quote by God in the Bible. Recent and highly controversial finding suggest that the velocity of light may have been decreasing through time. These conjectures could totally alter our concepts of space, time and the origins of our universe.
