Starlight and Time: Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young…

I found this book disappointing as a creationist perspective on the universe. The first thing you should know is that there are only about 30 pages of content accessible to a layman, the rest is basically Dr. Humphrey's published research. As for the theory, parts of it sound great, but ultimately he cedes the entire formation of the universe to an evolutionary time scale & formation model. Basically his argument is: here's how I can account for however many billions or trillions of years secular science says it took the universe to form, using all their models of planet & star formation (slow & gradual accumulation of matter into galaxies, stars, planets etc) - but using this white hole theory, it could have taken just a day on earth as the universe expanded! It just didn't make sense to me as a good creation model, one where God made a mature earth, mature plants, mature animals & mature man - but used relativity to happenstance out a universe? ( )
