Unity - Chapter 1

We have at the moment, 12 chapters of Unity by W. David Barclay, on line. Unity is only a total of 17 chapters. But the information within is most extraordinary. Here is a sample of chapter one.

When someone makes the statement that the Universe is 14 billion years old they are telling us something, which they want us to believe. The same is true when someone says it is 14 billion light years from here to the perimeter of the visible Universe. They want you to believe that they know what they are talking about and for you to accept what they are saying as the truth or something very close to the truth.

Then they tell you it took 14 billion years for the light from that distant galaxy to reach the lens of their telescope, in that the light has been traveling at a constant velocity, of  299,792,458 meters per second, for 14 billion years.

In this respect an astronomer shows us photographs taken of a distant galaxy and assures us that this is a photograph of an event which occurred billions of years ago. They want us to believe that it should be possible to take a picture of something that happened billions of years ago, despite the fact that we are not yet capable of taking a picture of something which happened last week, unless of course the picture was taken last week.

This is a sample chapter of Unity by W. David Barclay.
