Quasars create headaches for evolutionists because they clearly disprove the speed theory to explain red shift. Quasars must be the most distant objects in the universe, yet light from them is quite bright, and some can be seen through optical telescopes; therefore, they cannot possibly be very distant. Another factor about quasars which disprove the speed theory is that if the speed theory is true, quasars travel too fast, and some go faster than the speed of light!

In 1962, a quasar was found which, according to the speed theory, is moving away from us at the amazing velocity of 16 percent of the speed of light! This just cannot be true, and thus disproves the speed theory of red shift. Since then, quasars have been found with speed theory red shifts of 200 and 300 percent of the speed of light! If the speed theory was correct, this would be recession speeds exceeding 90 percent of the speed of light! In 1973, a quasar was found which had a speed red shift of 350 percent. In 1986, one had more than 400 percent! If the speed theory was true, these quasars would be fantastic distances of 15 billion light-years away, and traveling outward at impossibly high speeds. Three quasars have been found which, according to the speed theory of red shift, would be moving eight times faster than the speed of light! As of 1990, over thirty faster-than-light quasars have been found.

Evolutionists teach, as we have already discussed, that the end result of the big bang was free floating hydrogen and helium. The theory teaches that the hydrogen condensed into stars and then these stars exploded resulting in more stars. Since hydrogen floating outward in free space would continue until it reached heat death and since hydrogen does not force itself down into itself to condense into stars, this evolutionary theory is nothing more than a fairy tale.

Many reputable scientists agree and provide us with the following reasons why: first, where did the gas come from? Hydrogen gas is supposed to have made itself into stars, but where did it come from? Second, how do random gas movements produce stars and galaxies? The complicated design of galaxies makes this impossible. While existing stars may draw gas into themselves, gas does not condense itself into stars. Third, the birth of a star has never been observed. If stars are also formed from exploding stars, why don’t we observe any of this happening in the universe today? Fourth, gas cannot push itself into stars. Gas in outer space only expands; it does not contract. The pull of gravity within the gas is not strong enough to push it together. Fifth, A super-nova would push everything outward, it does not compress gas into new stars. Sixth, stars are too far apart for even combined explosions to push gas into more new stars. Seventh, explosions cannot produce what we find in the skies. All about us are the complicated orbits and careful balancing of the stars around galaxies. Eighth, This theory completely ignores the working of gravity. What we know of gravity cannot produce stars in this way. Ninth, this theory requires that stars are fueled and give light by hydrogen explosions, but that cannot be true since not enough neutrinos are formed. Evolutionists deliberately ignore this fact. Tenth, stars shine because of solar collapse, which is supported by the Solar shock waves of 160 minute oscillations, not by hydrogen explosions. This indicates a young universe, not an old one.

In the Advanced Textbook titled Relationship With Jesus The Key To Effective Ministry and my book on the Book of Genesis titled The Literal Historical Reliability of Genesis I cover extensively the scientific evidence of six days of Creation. All I want to cover here is what Evolution teaches on the beginning of the Universe and why it is not compatible with what is taught in the book of Genesis Chapter 1.

Some Christians trying to mix popular unsubstantiated scientific theory with the Creation account in Genesis will tell you that these days refer to periods of time, like in "the day of Jesus" referring to his 33 years on earth. John D. Morris in his book, The Young Earth, provides the following documentation on the use of the word "day" in the Old Testament: The word !/y,³⁸⁷ yÇm, in Hebrew meaning "day" can have a variety of meanings:

1. A solar day.

2. Daylight.

3. Indefinite period of time.

The word occurs 2,291 times in the Old Testament and it almost always means a literal 24 hour day. The plural form !ym/y, yÇmim, occurs 845 times and always refers to a literal 24 hour day. When modified by numeral or ordinal in historical narrative (359 times in the Old Testament outside of Genesis 1), it always means a literal 24 hour day. When modified by "evening and/or morning" (38 times outside of Genesis 1) it always means a literal 24 hour day. The Context of Genesis 1 is a tight chronology. It forms a basis for our work week of six literal 24 hour days (Ex 20:11). Proper interpretation is a solar day, not an indefinite period of time.

When God created the heavens and the earth, the Bible tells us that He first created the earth (1:2), and that to start with it was a sphere of water (2 Pet 3:5). This is in contradiction to evolutionary teaching which teaches that the dry land first existed before the oceans existed. This is also a contradiction to the Big Bang theory which teaches that the stars and galaxies formed first, then the planets.

After creating this sphere of water, God then created light (1:3). This was not the light of the Sun because the Sun was not created until the fourth day after He created the granite surface of the earth and after He created the plant life. This is in no way compatible with what evolution teaches which is that the sun was formed first and that the earth along with the other planets of our solar system were a spin off from the sun.

It was necessary for God to create the plant life before creating the animal life because only plant life can take the raw energy of the sun and turn it into useful chemical energy our bodies are then able to use. In other words, if there was no plant life on earth, animal life would soon become extinct. See "Photosynthesis."

Evolution teaches that the cycle of life and death has been from the first life, that life has evolved over six-hundred million years until man came on the seen. Genesis teaches that God created each species after their kind which included the apes. However, Genesis teaches that man is not an animal but was created in God’s image and likeness and did all this on the fifth and sixth solar days. Genesis also teaches that death and decay were never God’s intention in creation but the result of man’s sin. Paul wrote: "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin" (Romans 5:12). This teaching also contradicts the Bible’s teaching that Eve is the mother of all living humans. It was because Adam and Eve brought death and destruction into the world that God promised Eve that through her seed would come a deliverer. The seed always comes from man, thus the first prophecy of the virgin birth of Jesus. After Adam and Eve brought death into the world, God promised He would send Jesus Christ to die for man’s sin so that the enemy, death, would be abolished. Paul wrote:

"For the wages of sin is death." (Rom 6:23)

"But now. . . by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel" (2 Tim 1:10)

The whole purpose of Jesus’ coming, death and resurrection were for the purpose of nullifying sin’s effect of death over man and creation, to reverse the process and bring creation back to its original place of immortality. This is absolutely incompatible with the teaching of Evolution which teaches that death has always been a part of nature, that death is normal. The Bible teaches that death is not normal and thus why God sent Jesus to reverse sin’s effect on the world (See Section 1, Chapter 8). Again Paul wrote concerning this:

"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this corruptible will have put on the incorruptible, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, ‘Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?’ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Cor 15:52-57)

If you try to mix evolution with creation then Jesus’ death and shed blood for our sins loses all meaning. This is in fact what Jesus said would happen in John 5:46-47:

"For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" (John 5:46-47)

Higher education denies Moses’ inspired authorship of the first five books of the Bible, and thus denies belief in what Moses taught. As a result they also deny that the words given credit to Jesus in the New Testament were spoken by Jesus at all. If you do not take what Jesus said in the New Testament as His words and as absolute truth, neither will you take Jesus’ message of salvation for your sins literally either. The end result will be because you do not believe it you will not be saved, you will go to hell for ever.

This is why the writer of Hebrews tells us in Hebrews 11:3 that what Moses wrote about Creation in Genesis must be accepted by faith. He wrote: "By faith we understand that the ages were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible." We are to accept the account of creation by faith, not blind faith of course, but through God’s absolute proof to us: Jesus’ physical resurrection from the dead (John 2:22). Taking a literal Creationist view of Scripture is not an option. Any other view destroys the credibility of the message of Salvation in the Bible. The end result is that men will not take its message literally and then come to Jesus to be saved. This in fact is exactly what has taken place in our society today and why the Christian message is not taken seriously because most ministers and theologians in our country today do not take the message of Genesis seriously. The end result is that even though they preach the Gospel of the New Testament, their message falls on deaf ears and only gains ridicule and mockery. There is no place for compromise when it comes to the word of God.

Often times ministers and Christians will mix the Bible with fickle science at the expense of the literal teaching of Scripture thinking it will help bring people to Jesus. They also do it because they don’t want to suffer hardship with the people of God but rather live a safe and costless Christianity. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a safe and costless Christianity, not if you want to bring men and women to the truth and saving faith in Jesus Christ (John 5:46-47). Many ministers compromise the literal creationist teaching of Scripture to succeed, to get needed donations and to be accepted by men. The Bible states in Proverbs "There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death" (Prov 14:12, 16:25). The upholding of God’s truth spelled out in the Bible is more important than success, money or the acceptance of men.
