Dr. Don Clark of Creation Moments enlightens Jim and David on the fine points of those recently verified things they call gravitational waves and the space time continuum as revealed in articles from Fox Television and Nature Magazine …

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. The faster you go, the less time it takes to make the trip. How fast do you need to travel so as to take no time at all?
The speed of light.
Where does the addition of “continuum” come from. As in “Space-time continuum?
There is no such thing as “space-time”.
There is space, and there is time.
Modern “science” is back in the dark ages literally with its dark energy, dark matter, black holes, space-time, Evolution, and other things that do not pass the scientific method.
Daniel thank you for your comment. While I agree that modern physics has gone way beyond the constructs of the scientific method, and in some regards gone metaphysical, the term “space-time” is meant to refer to time being a physical part of our universe just like length, width and height. So instead of our universe being made up of three-dimension, it seems that it is at least made up of four-dimension with the forth dimension being time. This was Einstein’s major contribution to physics that lead to his relativity theories and ultimately to the prediction of gravitational waves, the subject of this radio discussion. The Bible also gives us a possible clue to this in the first verse of Genesis that says, “In the beginning…”. By the fact that the universe had a beginning also infers that time had a beginning. And since Genesis also tells us that God spoke everything into existence we can stop looking for stuff like dark matter or anti-matter to explain away how the universe was formed. Hope this helps.
