Revision as of 02:00, May 4, 2007

Astronomy is the science of observing space and the objects in it (excluding Earth). It has been studied since ancient times, forming a major part of the religions of many early civilizations such as the Egyptians and the Aztecs. The great stone henge at Stonehenge in England is also thought to be an astronomical observatory. The handing down of complex astronomical teachings shows these early civilizations must have had formalized systems of education.

Astronomy was crucial to the development of safe and accurate navigation for ships, and observations of the movement of heavenly bodies helped lead to the theories we know call physics. In fact, much of astronomy today relies physics, thus many astronomers are considered astrophysicists.

Young Earth Creationism View

Young earth creationists scientists believe that the first and second law of thermodynamics argue against an eternal universe and they also claim that the universe was supernaturally created. [1][2]

Young earth creation scientists also advance a number of reasons for the earth and universe being approximately 6,000 years old,[3][4][5] and raise a number of objections to claims of an extremely old age for the earth and the universe.[6][4][7] In regards to the field of geology these scientists believe that the evolutionary geological timescale is in error.[8][9][10] Young earth creationist scientists also believe that there are multiple lines of evidence from the field of geology showing that the earth is young.[11][12][13][14][15]
