I am not referring to an initial stage of accelerated expansion (which an inflating non-cyclic universe also has), but to a stage of accelerated expansion that starts after a stage of decelarated expansion, which is the actual case, and accurs when the expansive effect of dark energy, whose...

General Relativity allow for three regimes of expansion of space in an universe with matter (an empty universe will expand linearly): a. one which at some point starts to accelerate towards an exponential regime (the actual case); b. one which keeps decelerating indefinitely but never stops...

Most of you probably know that astrophysical observations of vastly different kinds have consistently shown since 1998 that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, actually that it has been accelerating since a time roughly midway between now and "big bang". I want to point out that this...

I did not mean that space with the inflaton scalar field existed from an indefinite past, but that it started to exist at t=0. Before t=0 there was nothing, neither space nor time. It was quite clear in my first post: "Therefore, from the theistic perspective that God created the universe out...

Whereas I know that creation ex nihilo is not the only way in which Gen 1:1 can be interpreted, I do interpret it that way, in line with 2 Macc 7:28, the Apostolic Tradition reflected in the writings of the Fathers, and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

Last year I wrote a rather long article whose abstract and table of content follow. If any forum users are interested, I will copy and paste it in this thread. Of course, googling any text string in the abstract will lead to the source. Abstract During the IV to VI centuries, the Christian...

I will show the remarkable concordance between the narrative of the first two days of creation in Genesis 1:1-8 and the current conceptual framework of inflationary relativistic cosmology. First of all, some background on the exegetical and scientific levels is required. On the exegetical...

Introduction I will present a hypothesis which I have recently elaborated and which I call "Hypothesis of perfection-manifesting times of the works of God in the New Testament", in which I posit that said works, from the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary to her Assumption into Heaven...

Hi there. I am a Catholic from Argentina. I have signed up here because I think I might make a contribution of some value. <staff edit>
