THE Bible was right all along. There is now 鈥渦nequivocal proof鈥� that the big bang never happened, and that the world was created in six days. Incredibly, that claim surfaced at last week鈥檚 prestigious American Physical Society (APS) meeting in Dallas, Texas.
Robert Gentry presented his 鈥渘ew cosmic model鈥�, which affirms the Genesis account of creation, at an APS poster session. Now a geophysicist with the Orion Foundation in Knoxville, Tennessee, he once worked for Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
鈥淣o one with the APS thinks of this as serious research,鈥� says APS spokesman James Riordan. Why, then, has the APS agreed to display the poster? 鈥淭he APS policy is to accept any abstracts from members that reference physics, even if they are 鈥榗rackpot鈥�,鈥� says Michael Lubell, APS director of public affairs.

This open policy stems from an incident in 1952, when rejected scientist Bayard Peakes shot and killed a secretary in the APS offices. 鈥淪ince then, the APS has accepted just about any abstract that comes over the transom,鈥� says Lubell.
