On Christmas Day, 2021, the world’s most powerful space telescope was launched. A joint effort between the North American and European Space Agencies (NASA and ESA), the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)’s “primary aim is to shed light on our cosmic origins”.
So, how's the mission going? What discoveries has this multi-billion-dollar marvel of technology and engineering produced? Are the latest cosmic revelations consistent with the big bang model of the universe (as was widely predicted before JWST was launched)? Or has the data, in fact, _contradicted_ that model? How has the _biblical_ model of the origin of the universe fared (and were creationist predictions about JWST findings any more accurate)?
Join Dr Mark Harwood (who played a key role in the development of Australia’s national satellite system) for a fascinating and enlightening discussion on JWST, the big bang, and the Bible!
⏳ CHAPTERS
00:00 Teaser
00:42 Introduction: JWST findings contradict the big bang theory
01:29 A brief overview of the big bang theory
02:51 The secular dilemma: Did the universe have a beginning?
04:40 Could God have used the big bang? (No: The Bible and the big bang are incompatible)
07:06 Is there any observational support for the Big Bang?
09:31 Does the big bang adequately explain the observations?
10:08 JWST findings are a complete shock to the Big bang community:
11:43 → Large, highly structured galaxies contradict big bang predictions
12:24 → Supermassive black holes contradict big bang expectations
14:11 Are astronomers abandoning the big bang in favor of other theories?
15:50 Other examples of big bang failures:
16:05 → The Baryon Asymmetry Problem: Where’s all the antimatter?
17:55 → Initial stars: Where are all (or _any_ of) the Population III stars?
19:21 → The Horizon Problem: How did CMB radiation get _so_ even?
23:00 Philosophical commitments are all that keep the big bang theory alive
24:16 JWST findings are consistent with a biblical view of the universe
27:20 Creationist predictions about JWST observations have proven correct!
29:20 Conclusion: The heavens declare the glory of God!
