Lesson Theme: Creation

“Where did everything come from?” is, perhaps, the one of the oldest questions that still seems to have gone un-answered. (Any question, if it is properly answered, shouldn’t keep coming back up, right? Unless the answer is unclear, unshared, or unapplicable.) While popular opinion from a great host, if not the majority of authoritative resources simply references “The Big Bang” theory.

But, if the ‘Big Bang’ is really a viable solution, shouldn’t we be able to ask, “Does the Universe have a ‘center?’ If so, where is it?”

With the strongest evidence that the Big Bang happened 13.8 Billion years ago because of Red Shift, surely we should just be able to build a computerized model to ‘rewind’ everything to when all matter was just a single point, and see where the ‘true’ center of the universe is, right?

It would be like reversing the burning cinders of a firework to determine at what point/location it detonated. Would that be scientifically impossible?

Actually, it could be easy with fireworks, because all it would take is someone to observe them and document it…

… but then, that is beginning to sound an awful lot like the Biblical account, isn’t it?

Lesson Theme: Adam’s Rib

Discover Magazine reported that the subject of Adam’s Rib arose repeatedly in an introductory course on evolution at an American university in 1995. According to the article:
Professor of Physiology, Robert Root-Bernstein, recalled the first time he thought his course seven years ago. He had asked if anyone in the class could tell him how a human female skeleton differed from a male.

‘Five minutes into the lab period,” the professor said, a young woman announced that she could answer the question without even examining the skeleton.’
Her answer? “males have one fewer pair of ribs than females.”
He found that she, and others since, believed that because the Bible records that God took a rib from the first man to form the first woman, than all men must be born with fewer ribs than women.
How would you respond to this claim?
