 A physics student provides scientific evidence of creation. He says science reveals that light can be created from sound. When God said "Let there be light," were we witnessing sonoluminescence?
"The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light." (Gen 1:2, 3 NASV).
With that God created light. Evolutionists, of course, mock the idea God could create by merely uttering a few words.
However, Samuel Hunt, a student at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, says not only is it possible but science has duplicated this feat -- creating light with the use of sound.
In an interview with worldnetdaily.com, Hunt said scientific experiments at the University of Chicago and UCLA show light can be created by sound moving through water. It is a process referred to as sonoluminescence. It occurs when sonic signals hit a bubble floating in fluid; the bubble collapses and emits light photons. The energy from the sound waves is essentially transformed into light.
Hunt noticed in his studies of advanced physics there were a number of instances where science substantiates the creation account. Samuel asked his professors if he could prove all matter was spoken into existence, wouldn't this prove the existence of God, since the Bible records creation came as a result of God speaking?
This resulted in Hunt writing an 84-page paper called Episteme Scientia: The Law of all that is in which he simply applies the laws of science to creation. Hunt's thesis is that sound is the very basis of the formation of matter.
"We merely have to prove scientifically that everything at its core is nothing more than sound. If we can prove this mathematically and experimentally, then the Genesis record becomes a verifiable law on the grandest scale," Hunt says on his website.
He adds, "The results of my research support and prove that everything that exists was spoken into existence from waves to matter to mind."
His paper has proved quite interesting and increasingly controversial. He says reactions of his professors have ranged from calling it "hogwash" to describing it as "thought-provoking and progressive."
Sonoluminescence
Sonoluminescence was first noticed in 1934 at the University of Cologne. H Frenzel and H Schultes were working on the development of underwater sonar. After one test in which they created strong ultrasonic field in water they noticed a number of bubbles forming flashing light.
In a later study, scientists were able to monitor a single bubble. They found that when this bubble was suspended in a sound wave it emited light each time it was compressed by the sound wave.
Hunt contends this process shows up in the book of Genesis where the sequence of creation is important. After creating the earth and water, the the Bible records the Holy Spirit hovered over the deep and when God spoke the interaction of the sound with the water created light.
The incredible snapping shrimp
In fact, the snapping shrimp -- also called the pistol shrimp -- produces light using a process similar to sonoluminescence. The snapping shrimp is about the length of your finger but comes with a large claw which it doesn't use to catch its prey but rather stun it.
When it snaps its claw, it is done with such a force it creates a water jet reaching speeds of a 100 km an hour. In the wake of the jet stream, a bubble is created which explodes with such force it stuns the prey.
The resulting crack is so loud, submarines have used the sound created by colonies of snapping shrimp to escape sonar detection.
In the process a burst of light is created -- referred to a shrimpoluminesence. According to scientists this whole process takes about 300 microseconds.
The controversy
Scientists do not fully understand what takes place in sonoluminescence, but in 2002, US physicists reported seeing evidence of nuclear fusion in their sound to light experiments. They subjected bubbles in a beaker of acetone to sound. An article on their experiment was published in Science Magazine in 2002.
After their experiment they reported finding neutrons and tritium the by product of nuclear fusion. This would suggest the collapsing bubbles had temperatures in excess of a million degrees.
Many scientists doubt this could have occurred. But curiously this was not the first time, scientists recorded seeing fusion like qualities in their sonoluminescence experiments. An earlier experiment had recorded similar results.
Then in 2005, two physicists at the University of Illinois found evidence of plasma in their sound to light experiments. Plasma is a necessary precursor to a nuclear reaction.
Conclusion
Hunt's study gives a whole new understanding to the creation of earth and the universe. It shows the inherent power in the spoken word.
After creating the stars and covering them with fuel, it appears by merely uttering the words "Let there be light," they were all lit.
