NOTE: From what I'm about to write, I don't mean to demean GOD or simplify Him in any way, shape or form 'cause GOD is GOD and He's just too complex for our little human brains to understand. This is just a proposal and a pattern I've seen.
From Genesis 1:3 "And GOD said "Let there be light" and there was light."
Only relatively recently have we humans discovered that nothing is constant and that everything is relative to light. See Lorentz factor for more details. This means that the whole debate regarding whether the earth was created in a LITERAL six days or a span of millions of years can be resolved due to time dilation. In the Bible, it was six days because it was relative to the speed of the stars and they were travelling really fast, but the earth can be dated to around 4.5 million years because it wasn't travelling fast. Time was dilated and therefore the special relativity governs what actually happened. This is coherent because stars are heavy in mass, yet not that big... My point is that GOD is a GOD of order and structure. He likes to play by rules, albeit His. He also has PURPOSE. The first thing GOD created? Light. Now we know that light forms the basic structure of the universe. He knows.
For many years, scientists didn't accept that there was a beginning to the universe. Now all scientists believe that there was the big bang and that it was the beginning to all that we know of. The Bible CLEARLY states that GOD created the universe and started the chain that would lead to life as we know it. These are very coherent facts. I'm just hoping that scientists will learn from these things and seek to learn science from the Bible.
What I've learned is that sitting through science class is a way in which I learn more 'bout the wonders of GOD and His creation. I see that GOD's created a very special universe for us to live in and has tailored it so that we can actually survive as a race. Evolution contradicts that, but that's for another day. GOD just constantly tells me what He's done for me and that He made it all with me in mind. Just how special does that make me? It even reignites that fire in my heart 'cause it makes me want to KNOW so much more about Him! I'm just so thankful that the GOD we believe in, the one true GOD, is a GOD of order and one who loves us so much that He was willing to prepare everything AND STILL send His only Son to rescue us all. It's like someone building the house, furnishing it AND STILL paying the rent for you. Why? 'Cause it's love. It's that simple.
LORENTZ FACTOR:
Essentially, everything is relative to the speed of light and changes according the ratio of how fast it travels compared to the speed of light. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_factor
