Genesis Part 5: ‘waters’ and dark matter haloes

Summary

Following the creation of non-luminous matter (‘waters’) and ordinary atomic matter ('light') on Day 1, God divided up ‘waters’ with a 'firmament' (force that separates space-time). This resulted in matter density fluctuation in the early Universe and seeded the formation of galactic contents.

· Current cosmology model requires that non-luminous matter to first exist and form clumps before ordinary matter could form aggregates under gravity. Genesis 1:2-3 describes the creation of ‘waters’ (non-luminous matter) before the introduction of ‘light’ (ordinary atomic matter).

· Separation of islands of ‘waters’ in heaven is reminiscent of the formation of dark matter haloes in the early Universe.

Discussion

The Bible is not silent about the constituent elements that God created in the early Universe. God filled the newly created space-time with both non-luminous matter (‘waters’) and baryonic matter (‘light’= ordinary atomic matter) on Day 1 of the creation. On the next day, God divided up ‘waters’ with an inflationary force that caused the space-time to expand (stretching of the ‘firmament’). The separation of ‘waters’ caused non-homogenous distribution of ‘matter in space, which facilitated the formation of density fluctuation in the early Universe.

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Genesis 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Genesis 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

Importance of ‘waters’ before ‘light’

The existence of the insanely high radiation of the particle plasma soup (photon-baryon fluid) in the early Universe argues against the formation of self-bound aggregates. Yet, our Universe today is littered with galaxies, galaxy clusters, and intricate large cosmic structures. What tamed the hot ordinary atomic matter and caused them to organize into structures?

Both observational data in the Cosmic Radiation Background (CMB)and supercomputer simulation (2, 4) of the early Universe emphasize the importance of the localized density deviations in the formation of galactic contents. Current cosmology model requires that dark matter (‘waters’) must first exist and form clumps before the clustering of ordinary matter (‘light’) under gravity. The creation of ‘waters’ (dark matter) prior to the introduction of energetic ‘light’ (ordinary atomic matter) in Genesis 1 is of great importance and is a crucial step for the formation of galactic structures.

Formation of dark matter haloes (islands of ‘waters’)

On Day 2 of the creation week, God introduced ‘firmament’ as the inflationary force (Part 4 of this series) that stretched out the newly created space-time (Part 1). This force caused the separation of ‘waters’ from ‘waters’ in the early Universe and also, produced ‘waters’ for the future planet earth (Genesis 1:6-7).

The separation of ‘waters’ from ‘waters’ would generate non-homogenous distribution of islands of ‘waters’. These clusters of ‘waters’ (non-luminous matter), equivalent to dark matter haloes, are believed to have played a major role in the early formation of galactic structures under the cold dark matter (CDM) hypothesis. The formation of dark matter mass and halo adds additional gravitationally pull to bind ordinary atomic matter into aggregations during initial galactic formation. Without this initial step, the temperature and radiation pressure of the ordinary matter plasma (photon-baryon fluid) should have been much too high for ordinary matter to form gravitationally bound aggregates and produce density perturbations. Simulations of this early galaxy formation match the structure observed by various surveys (1-3) as well as observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background. In fact, our own Milky Way galaxy is also surrounded by an enormous dark matter halo (7).

In the next blog, we will continue this discussion and explore the relationship between galaxy formation and waveform of ‘waters’ (non-luminous matter) in heaven.
