5-years STAFF at MIT Physics Department and a member of the US Atomic Energy Commission. He is an actual "rocket scientist" and also, a renound Theologian, with 15-years of study with Rabbi Herman Pollack, Rabbi Chaim Brovender and Rabbi Noah Weinberg. His religious works frequently cite Talmudic, Midrashic and medieval commentaries on Biblical creation accounts, including commentaries written by the Jewish philosopher Nachmanides.
Among other things, Dr. Schroeder reconciles the six-day creation as described in Genesis with the scientific evidence that the world is billions of years old using the idea that the perceived flow of time for a given event in an expanding universe varies with the observer's perspective of that event. He does so, agreeing with Einstein, that the effect of the stretching of space-time (aka. Inflation), based on Einstein's general theory of relativity, unconditionally impacts the perception of the passage of space-time.
In this, from the perspective of the point of origin of the Big Bang, according to Einstein's equations of the 'stretching factor', time dilates by a factor of roughly 1,000,000,000,000, meaning one trillion days on earth, would appear to pass as one day from that point of origin, due to the inflation's stretching of space-time.
When applied to the (often cited as) accepted estimated age of the universe at 13.8 billion years, from the perspective of the point of origin, the universe today would appear to have just begun its sixth day of existence. Yet, accounting that the Universe beyond the visible, is very likely 15-billion years old, looking backward from the perspective of earth, it would place the age from the point of origin, as just having completed the sixth day. Therefore, as told in the Bible, we are living in "day 7" when Lord GOD entered His rest.
Not surprisingly, SCIENCE; as it approaches and unravels truth, agrees (yet again) with Almighty Lord GOD.
TAGS is a voluntary group led by GOD.
TAGS was born from how things used to be ( once upon a time were ) common in the United States of America. In short, what TAGS encourages is - THE AMERICAN WAY.
Something that seems to be ( quite disturbingly ) on it's way to vanishing from the Earth. The why and the how of that unwanted trend is something that we may address, time allowing, and GOD permitting.
Suffice to say: 50-years ago and earlier, the things that TAGS endorses, encourages, and embraces - were - the WAY OF LIFE in this Great nation. It is up to all of us, WE THE PEOPLE, to ensure that it remains! TAGS is a handful of Texans who believe that FAITH, GOD, COUNTRY and COMMUNITY, are priorities. We strive to lead by example - and encourage you to join us in this effort. Live the AMERICAN WAY and along the way keep our amazing state BEAUTIFUL!
In an effort to keep the American Way as an attitude, and an important priority, we here give of ourselves with old fashioned dedicated COMUNITY SERVICE. It starts with CARE. We care about our home. We hope others do as well. If you've not considered caring about your community (of late) and your state, please take time to do so! It starts, and ends, with WE THE PEOPLE. Everything else is a bonus!
This web is intentionally simple. Why? The WORDS matter, GOD matters, fancy WEB does not. The maintainer, Obed, is out in the world, trying to follow GOD's will, be there for others, and bring GOD glory through service. Start with prayer, WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?), then carry on from there. Those in Obed's part of the world, we'll all contribute to this site monthly.
On this last "about" page, we'll bullet point major updates. We hope and pray that you find this site a useful place, and; that it inspires and encourages you to better yourself - in Jesus name, in GOD's service. God bless you, yours, and your path.
