JOHNNES KEPLER 1571-1630

ASTRONOMY LAWS OF PLANETARY MOTION

“I had the intention of becoming theologian…but now I see how God is, by my endeavours, also glorified in astronomy, for “the heavens declare the glory of God.” “I am a Christian.” “I believe…only and alone in the service of Jesus Christ.. In Him is all refuge, all solace.”

1. Kepler’s first law of planetary motion: Each

Planet moves about the sun in an orbit that is

an ellipse. The sun is at one focus of the

ellipse. (ekc^lipv^six = nitv fatv).

2. Kepler’s second law of planetary motion:The straight line joining a planet with the sun Sweeps out equal areas in equal amounts of time. This means that the planet travels faster when it is closer to the sun. Kepler nyei da’nyeic diuh leiz gorngv, lungh ndiev nyei jauv se zaqc nyei, yietc zungv lungh ndiev juangc jienv guinh.

Singx Nzung 19:1

SIR ISAAC NEWTON 1642-1727Law of Gravity and Laws of Motion“All my discoveries have been made in answerto prayer.” “I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.” “Atheismis so senseless. When I look at the solar system,I see the earth at the right distance from the sunto receive the proper amounts of heat and light. “This did not happen by chance.”

A. What does the science teaches?

Hlaax fongv daux nqang. The moon pulls back on the earth (Newton’s 3rd law of motion)

Ndau nyei qiex sorqv jienv fai baeng jienv hlaax. (Earth’s force of gravity pulls on the moon)

What Does The Bible Teaches

Yesu bouh jienv maanc muotc (Ko^lo^si 1:15-17) Jesus hold all things together (Colossians 1:15-17).

B. Origin of the Moon

Creation ModelNdau caux hlaax dongh wuov deix ziangh hoc zeix daaih. The earth and moon formed at the same time from debris orbiting the sun.

ProblemSic se ndau caux hlaax ganh nyungc chemically.

The earth and moon are different chemically

C. Origin of the Moon

“The origin of the moon is still unresolved.”

A. Snyder Ruzicka and L. A. Taylor, “Giant Impact and Fission Hypotheses for the origin of the moon: a critical review of some geochemical evidence, International Geology Review, 1998, p. 851.

Haih porv duqv longx jiex se hlaax zeix daaih duqv 6,000 hnyaangx hnangv.(TDD. 1:16)

The best explanation is that the moon was created in its present orbit about 6,000 years ago (GEN. 1:16).

D. Hlaax Nyei Njang - Comets

The evolution model postulates that they are being replaced – the Oort cloud

Problems with the Oort cloud It has never been observed There is NO evidence that it exists Not enough mass in the hypothetical Oort cloud

Se gorngv solar system duqv ziex ziux hnyaangx gox nor, hlaax nyei njang zungv maiv maaih aqv. If the solar system is billions of years old, then “long period” comets should not exist.

E. The Age of the Sun

Se gorngv mba’hnoi 4.6 horpc zuqc ninh nyei 40%. If the sun is 4.6 byo, it should have brightened by about 40%.

40% Brighter

F. Njang Nyei Jauv - Comets

G. The Sun and Life

Earth average temperature (59 F or 15 C)

A 25% increase in brightness increases the average temperature by about 32O F (18O C)

(59o – 32o = 27o F (Average temperature)

H. Galaxy Formation

“Galaxies must have condensed out of the gases expanding from the big bang….Yiem hleix mbeux cuotv faatv mingh buangh lungh.

I. Science And Bible

Tin-Hungh zeix ndau yiem 1 hnoi. God created the earth on day 1: (Tin Deic Douh 1:1) – (Genesis 1:1)

Tin-Hungh zeix mba’hnoi,hlaax, caux hleix yiem 4 hnoi. The sun, moon, and stars on day 4 (Genesis 1:14-19)

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Genesis 1:16

A. The Origin of Stars

B. God Created Stars“Lift your eyes and look and to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and Mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” Isaiah 40:26

“Meih mbuo cau hmien mangc gu’nguaaic, haaix dauh zeix naaiv deix ga’naaiv? Se dongh dorh hleix-guanh ziux soux mouc cuotv daaih, yaac heuc norm-norm nyei mbuox wuov dauh. Weic ninh henv haic nyei domh qaqv ziouc maiv caa yietc norm hleix.”

I^saa^yaa 40:26

“Yie cau hmien mangc lungh, buatc meih longc buoz zeix daaih nyei ga’naaiv, buatc hlaax caux hleix, se Ziouv ganh bun maaih ganh nyei dorngx yiem” (Singx Nzung 8:3).

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained (Psalms 8:3)

(Ps 19:1) The heavens declare the glory of God. Lungh zunh yaanghTin-Hungh nyei njang-laangc. (Ps 33:6) By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them. Weic Tin-Hungh nyei waac, lungh ndau caux nyungc-nyungc yiem gu’nyuoz nyei ga’naaiv duqv zeix cuotv daaih. (Ps 148:5) For he commanded, and

they were created. Tin-Hungh hatc nyungc-nyungc ziouc cuotv daaih aqv.

(Ex 20:11) For in six days…Juqv hnoi.

The Origin of Stars

Thou, even thou, are Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host (Nehemiah 9:3)

Evidence of God Created Stars

Evidence of Bible

“Se yie zeix baamh gen yaac zeix mienh

daaih yiem baamh gen. Yie ganh nyei buoz

corng lungh yaac hatc ziangx yiem wuov

nyei zuangx hleix.” (I^saa^yaa 45:12)

“I, even my hands, have stretched out the

heavens, and all their hosts have I commanded (Isaiah 45:12)

(John 1:3) All things were made by him.

Nyungc-nyungc ga’naaiv ninh zeix daaih( Yo^han 1:3)

(Rev 4:11) … “For thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

Laauc Yaangh 4:11…. “Weic zuqc meih zeix maanc muotc cuotv daaih. Maanc muotc ei meih nyei eix duqv zeix cuotv daaih, yaac duqv ziangh jienv.”

Is stellar formation by natural processes compatible with

Scripture?

It is by the Word of the Lord that the universe and stars were created (Genesis 1:1-29; 2 Peter 3:5-7).

Weic Tin-Hungh nyei waac, lungh ndiev caux hleix ziouc zeix cuotv daaih aqv (Tin Deic Douh 1:1-29; 2 Bide 3:5-7).

“Meih mbuo cau hmien mangc gu’nguaaic, haaix dauh zeix naaiv deix ga’naaiv? Se dongh dorh hleix-guanh ziux soux mouc cuotv daaih, yaac heuc norm-norm nyei mbuox wuov dauh. Weic ninh henv haic nyei domh qaqv ziouc maiv maaih yietc norm hleix laaih ziqc.” “Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” Isaiah 40:26

The Bible and the Time of Creation

17 times the Bible declares that God stretched the heavens

2 Sam 22:10 Job 37:18 Isaiah 51:13Psalm 18:9 Isaiah 40:22 Jeremiah 10:12Psalm 104:2 Isaiah 42:5 Jeremiah 51:15Psalm 144:5 Isaiah 44:24 Ezekiel 1:22Job 9:8 Isaiah 45:12 Zechariah 12:1Job 26:7 Isaiah 48:13

Nothing Too Difficult for God

God created trees mature with fruit God created mature animals God created Adam mature Jesus fed the 5,000 Jesus turned water into wine Jesus withered the fig tree (Matt 21:18-19) Instant learning of language (Tower of Babel) Instant healing of soldier’s ear (Luke 22:51) Creation was “very good” (Gen 1:31)

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. (Romans 1:18-20
