Expansion: Big Bang or Stretching? 3
The Evidence
Accelerating Expansion. The redshift of distant starlight suggests an
expansion. However, a big bang should produce only a decelerating
expansion, not the accelerating expansion observed. Stretching,
completed during the creation week, could have produced the
accelerated expansion seen by the light finally reaching Earth today
from the edge of the visible universe.
Star Formation. Astronomers recognize that the densest concentrations
of gas seen in the universe could not form stars by any known means,
including gravitational collapse, unless that gas was thousands of
times more compact than today. Apparently, stars were formed as, or
before, the heavens were stretched out.
Black Holes. A supermassive black hole is in the center of at least
every nearby galaxy. Black holes are so massive (millions of times
greater than our Sun) that nothing can escape their gravity—even...
