Several things I see here that are flaws in his argument.

1. Because you're trying to fit 2 distinct sets of time frames into each other, he could easily distort this into 100 billion years, 1 trillion years, 500,000 years, or anything else. Once again, its the problem with creation in that its philosophy is "Here is our conclusion" lets go find evidence for it.

2. The idea of "Absolute Time" violates the theory of relativity.

I think you missed it.
Its far more about perception, due to the expansion of time/space.

NOT a day/era theory

i simply see a guy trying to justify and rationalise a reason so he doesnt have to throw his faith away

he knowns the physics and science is right so cant do a hovind and just make it all up, so he then has to justify and rationalise his beliefes against the evidence of science and find away to make it work with science

its appologetics at its best

thats why most high level sceintists(who are religeous) tend to be panthiests that enjoy a bit of theist ceremony now and again for various reasons

I cant imagine you watched it.

great care was taken to refute this very idea.

Maby its for the best, you may have had to think of something relevant to say about the theory if you had.

your right i only saw the first 15 minutes and he did exactly the same as every other similar video for every other faith

apologetics to make the faith fit the facts

it doesnt matter if its 31 sentances or 3million and 1

is you need step 4 and 6 first to make step 1 happen its fundamentally flawed

ill watch the rest and see if he really does try and do somthing different

but if your starting from a flawed position chances are your gonna end in one too

very interesting video. thanks.
i wasn't aware of these facts...
perhaps indeed the relativity theory
is encoded within the bible.
and 6 days are in fact 15.75 billion years.
and time was created on day 1.
fascinating!

the prophecy to prove jesus is the messiah is shaky dont expect relativity to pop up without massive reinterpretation


yepp same thing exactly as the others he just trys to justify it with science better but at least he admits its a flawed metaphor to begin with at least theres a few less god of the gaps arguments then normal

and still doesnt make sense of why everything is in completley the wrong order to be real

wonder if he actually beleives this personally, or he was hired because he's a jewish physacist ... chances are the second one

This guy as some of you call him is one of the most brilliant Physists in the world. To be on staff of MIT is beyond brilliant. Just to get into MIT is not an easy thing to do. I doubt most who commented actually listened to the Professor much less can comprehend him. It's like he points out, the song a bird is born with, or listening too is the song he wants to sing no matter what else he hears. It's the same with people. People are so ingrained with Ideas they don't truly listen to anything that is opposed to thier thinking they just start looking to tear it apart rather than give it a good chance. The Professor reconciles creation and Science perfectly.
