What does the ionospheric wake of an orbiting spacecraft have to do with the existence of God?

Everything, says astrophysicist Nobie Stone, whose research on the subject is studied by scientists around the world.

The laws of thermodynamics — which Stone relied on heavily during his years with NASA — fit hand-in-glove with the biblical creation account, he says. Stars grow old and die. The universe is expanding. It clearly had a beginning, but the Big Bang theory, which proposes that something came from nothing, violates these “sacred” scientific laws.

The creation account, meanwhile, allows for “input from outside of nature,” Stone says.

Stone, who earned a doctorate from the University of Alabama-Huntsville and worked at NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory at Marshall Space Flight Center, served as mission scientist for two Space Shuttle missions. He has flown science experiments on eight space missions. Now retired, he serves as a deacon and adult Bible class teacher for the Mayfair Church of Christ in Huntsville.

He conducts seminars, titled “A Reasonable Answer for the Hope that we Have,” for young people from high school to early career-starters and parents.

“Interestingly, I have had older adults tell me that the material strengthened their faith or provided answers to questions that had troubled them,” he says. “Apparently, doubt has no age limit.“
