The Antennae (NGC 4038 and NGC 4039) are two galaxies, probably once spirals, in the act of merging with one another. Long tails have been thrown out from the galaxies as a result of the interaction. The entire system is about 300,000 light-years long. Given the observed motion of the southern tail, it must have been ejected about 500 million years ago.

Left below is why it is called ANTENNAE, because of the extended tails. Below right is the central hub showing what appears to be the two masses of the colliding galaxies.

Distant stars:
If you want to claim that all the distant stars and galaxies were created on day 4 of creation, then you have a problem, in that the light from the distant galaxies, over 6000 light years away, assuming Biblical time scales, should not have reached here yet. To us anything beyond 6000 years would be blank, until the light arrives. Quite possibly when God decided to create the earth, He thought about what would be the best place. Near the center of everything would give the best view, so He chose a position with the least harmful radiation on an outer spiral arm, of a central galaxy.

If you accept evolutionary claims of billions of years, you have many problems, and even then light from trillions of years away shouldn't be here yet, as the supposed "Big Bang" that caused everything was too recent for the light to travel the distance, or for the BB to be responsible for the creation of the most distant galaxies. One problem is C¹⁴ in diamonds, supposedly formed when the earth was formed, proving they cannot be more than about 50 thousand years old, as C¹⁴ should have all decayed, strongly suggesting an upper limit for the age of the earth, and probably severely limiting the age of the solar system.
Alternatively one could claim that God has made the distance deceptive, but this impinges His honour.
Evolutionists also have similar problems which they cannot explain, such as red shift anomaly, and why are things so even, if everything started with a gas explosion, then why are there other elements, how could stars and planets form, since gas won't condense into a planet unless there is a very strong gravitational force, and there is no conceivable source. (There is an alternative theory, that exploding supernova can cause shockwaves that compress the gas and start the formation of a planet, but first gas has to form the star that will go supernova! Some love this idea more than scientific reasoning, skipping the logical steps in their reasoning.)

If "nothing" or everything in a tiny speck exploded then why would atomic nuclei form and why would electrons being blown straight out by the explosion suddenly turn and spin around protons, if such had formed? This defies the laws of motion! How could atoms form from an explosion? How would the weak nuclear forces that hold fully formed atoms together cause them to assemble from bits that were flying out from an explosion. Wouldn't the surrounding forces and the turmoil tear any partly assembled atom to pieces again? We know that breaking up an atom releases energy, so how would random unguided energy force components to form atoms? Since gas won't condense into a gas planet, there needs to be solid particles that could coagulate, but since the evolutionary assumptions claim that only light gasses, helium mainly, came out of the speck that everything came from, there is no way to produce heavier elements, so no planets or stars, so there must be some other cause for all matter.

No Problem!:
If you accept that God existed eternally, and could have made the stars long before the earth, then you have no problem, just enjoy the view. By all means study the stars and nebular etc. but keep in mind that it could have been God's playground for the last trillion trillion billion years or more of equivalent earth time. The problem has been that when he was telling us about day 4 He told us he had made the stars, but didn't say when He made them, and for some inexplicable reason people construed it to mean on the same day, and they will be very hostile to another interpretation.

But now there is a new block of evidence that upsets both the evolutionists and the Creationists and Christians, because it re-evaluates the age of the earth with greater precision.
Geology and science in general, say that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, using the PRESENT decay rates to estimate how old rocks are. The Creationists point out many anomalies that show gross errors in the the assumptions and have evidence to correct the decay rates to prove a young earth.

Barry Setterfield, the first to research and publish serious scientific papers on the decaying light speed, believes that the speed of light was initially about 10 to the 10th power faster than it is today, and others have come to the same conclusion. After the creation of the universe, light speed declined following a curve approximating the curve of the cosecant squared. (that is the speed of light starts out very fast reducing down very rapidly and finishes very near to flat, roughly a quarter circle). A good number of well qualified scientists have set out to prove that the speed of light is constant, but have had to admit that it isn't. This effects the radiometric decay rates, intergalactic red shift, and indicated the earth is no more than about 10,000 years old, but for different reasons to what some Creationists are working on, making it hard for them to accept, as the radiometric decay in rocks etc. is recorded correctly and actually recording vast changes indicating rocks are very old, but it happened very quickly, as the light speed and therefore the decay rate was very fast initially.
See links below.

From :- Speed of Light/Setterfield/basic summary.html. The atomic clock was ticking off about six billion years in the first four days as a result.

Setterfield's calculation runs into the same problem as the evolutions have. Just because the expansion of the universe can be calculated back to a finite dot, does not mean that it should be, or that it ever was from a dot. Similarly Setterfield can calculate cosecant squared back to an almost instantaneous speed of light but that does not mean that it ever was that fast, or could ever be many times faster than the present speed, the only one we can see.

Adam, Eve, and Cain's problem:
Adam and Eve had many children, but the first to run into a serious problem was Cain. It was a problem that besets us all, his feelings were hurt. God warned him that sin is crouching at the door and desired to posses him, but he must master it. (Gen 4.7) Cain was feeling hurt over his offering not being accepted (Gen4 v5).
His offering was of plants, but God was making the point that there is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood, as was in Abel's offering, fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock, as this was pointing to the offering of Christ in the very distant future. His ego wanted revenge. He failed to control his feelings and the sin of murder resulted, Gen4 v8.
(ps. He should have traded to get a lamb, but he probably didn't have respect for God, since he didn't apologise or make an effort to make amends. Perhaps he wanted to "do it my way" , as many of us do, and be free from God).

Cain was banished and was afraid that people would kill him, Gen 4 v14, there would have been descendants of Adam who had moved away and had their own families, and Cain was afraid that some would take revenge on him. We are not told how many children Adam and Eve had, by that time, and only those God wants to mention are recorded. In the 130 years before Seth, they could have had many, Gen 5 v4, and also afterwards, who in turn may have had many children. This meant that Cain could marry a sister or niece, and presumably had, as no mention is made of him finding a wife after he was banished, and as Adam and Eve had no genetic defects, this was not a problem until the time of Moses when the accumulated genetic copying mistakes and mutations made it inadvisable (Lev. 18v20). These are the mutations that evolutionists claim build up specific design information, to create new species, but they never do, as mutations degrade, making species limited to within their kind less viable. Sometimes this gives better resistance to antibiotics, but this is at the expense of viability, hence the hospitals send people home to recover from "super bugs" caught in the hospital, as the "super bugs" will be overcome by the more virile wild types at home, which the hospitals have eradicated with their disinfectants.

Corruption and Fall:
People's standards went downhill until the earth was corrupt and full of violence as people followed their own opinions and moral choices (Gen 6v6&11). The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (Gen 6v2-4) and seem to be the result of the "sons of God" breeding with Women, and produced the heroes of old, men of renown. Possibly spiritual beings, or fallen angels evicted from Heaven, and therefore having evil intent, lustful and creating trouble as they would never be allowed back into Heaven. Therefore God decided to bring an end to all flesh (Gen 6v13). Noah found grace in the sight of God, Gen. 6 v7-8, so was instructed to build an ark 450 ft. long, and eight people and numerous land animals were saved in it, Gen 7 v13, Gen 7 v23. As dinosaurs hatch from eggs, the largest about the size of a football, they could easily be represented on the ark by their young. Noah would only have to take ones that were old enough to walk onto the ark, probably no bigger than a dog, and as juveniles probably still tame and easy to manage. Some dinosaurs only grew to the size of a domestic fowl, but some animals such as a giraffe, horses and elephants, are large when born, but there would be plenty of head room, depending on the spacing of the decks, and probably juveniles would be best for future breading, and also easier to manage.

The Ark:
The ark had three decks and a roof (Gen 6:14-16) an average of 3.4 metres head room for each deck, enough for a giraffe, and a total of 12,604 square metres of floor space. The ark was 137x23x13.7 metres, about 43,200 cubic metres. This is about the capacity of 522 standard railroad stock cars, each able to hold 250 sheep, 130500 in total. As there could be a great genetic variation built into the first of each species, such that dogs, wolves, coyotes and jackals could have been derived from just one breeding pair, so the number of species may have been 8000 or less, according to some scientists who have researched the relationships of animals and species. Many as juveniles, would be smaller than a domestic dog.

Noah and his sons were told to multiply and fill the earth (Gen. 9v1), but the people stayed in one place to build a city, and a tower unto heaven to worship other gods, so God confused their speech, so they would scatter throughout the earth (Gen.11v6-8). As the people suddenly couldn't understand others they moved away in fear and confusion. This also meant that genetic characteristics of the groups were probably different, so they developed various racial characteristics, and depending where they settled, various amounts of suntan became a permanent characteristic, the wrong amount of melanin for the climate eventually modifying that characteristic, by affecting the survival rate due to such problems as rickets, skin cancer and diseases. We all have the same amount of melanin, but those with light colour have the melanin in the nucleus of the skin cells and darker colouring simply moves more melanin to the surface of the cell. This is set mainly by heredity.
Even now the inclination of our hearts is still towards evil, Genesis Ch.8 v21, worshipping spirits, supposed gods, actors, stars and sports people, and striving for positions of power, wealth or popularity, instead of a relationship with God.

Ancient Religions:
There have been many idols worshiped throughout history, many requiring sacrifice, even of children, such as passing through the fire to Molech, an evil spirit. That is why God ordered the Israelites to totally wipe out certain tribes they had contention with. So how will God consider many, or all of the world's nations, when we have laws to allow or even encourage the killing of the unborn, for convenience.
The Greeks worshiped many gods, some quite capricious, with no morals or purpose. Though they knew about fossils in the rocks, they thought that the gods had put them there as a joke, as like many other societies they had lost the history and meaning of the record of Genesis, thinking that life just happened randomly, or at the whim of some god or idol. This was the result of Satan and his horde promoting the idea that he had when he was Lucifer, that the universe just randomly made life, and there was no meaning to it, though of course they knew that there is a permanent life in the spiritual realm for humans, as God "breathed" into Adam, which he didn't do for any of the animals (Gen 2v7). You may feel that there is no evil interaction from the spiritual realm with humans, but it is very subtle, just vague ideas in your mind, that can build up to a strong bad attitude, or much stronger if you are into the occult. An ancestral or other spirit can be given access to you because on your parent(s) or grand parents involvement in something having connection with the occult, and you may not know about it, as to you your behaviour just seems to normal for you. God's Holy Spirit can more strongly guide you into good attitudes if you have accepted His lordship.

Satan's objective:
The objective of Satan and his horde is to stop as many as possible from knowing God and going to be with Him, just out of spite, a battle of numbers, not caring for the disaster that awaits those who ignore God, as Satan is called a "murderer from the beginning," (John 8:44 ). Over the years, Satan has started many "religions" usually characterized by a harsh attitude and a strong disregard for human life, denigrating women, often requiring sacrifice, particularly human sacrifice in ancient times, and severe punishment for perceived crimes, such as chopping of hands and feet, or stoning to death, for departing from the "faith". He doesn't care how many people die, as long as he can control territory and have absolute control over the people, and make them worship him frequently, daily. Hence his offer to Jesus to have all the kingdoms of the world if Jesus would worship him (Matthew 4v9), as he would then have control over Jesus and the kingdoms. His alternative is reincarnation, thus avoiding any question of a beginning or ending, allowing very flexible morals, and often adherents believe that this world is an illusion. Also the objective is vague and usually driven by fear, rather than hope of a reward or eternal benefit, or respect for God. Others are confused and frustrated from trying to placate various spirits or images they believe to be gods, trying this way then that, trying to find out what will placate the spirits, and give them peace. A news letter from Thailand comments that "all Thai children are taught to fear evil spirits" so presumably there is sufficient demonic activity to keep them afraid.

Hatred towards God's people:
As the Jews are known to be God's chosen people, Satan has a insatiable vendetta against them in particular, and also against the Christians. Jews and Christians in Moslem countries have to pay a tax to show that they accept they are subordinate, and their belief, in a loving gracious God, is inferior to the Muslim religion, which believes in murdering non-Muslims, otherwise they are liable to be murdered or their property destroyed. This shows that Muslims are a peaceful people? No, watch the news and you will see frequent evidence of Muslims blowing up Muslims! I cannot imagine how anyone can have so much hatred for their own people. Then this hatred is turned against God's chosen people, and much of the world backs them, as they need a "scape goat" to blame for the worlds, or national problems. Also the knowledge of God is a hinderance to those who want to control the world to their liking, by enslaving the people and nations to get absolute control.

In Christian countries and Israel, all have equal rights, and some Muslims are Mayors in Israel, and some Muslims are also in the parliament (Knesset), because they have equal rights, and get voted in. Jews, Christians and non-Muslims cannot have equal rights in a Muslim country, their word in a Muslim court is not accepted, but the word of a Muslim is always taken as true. In non-Christian countries, there is often great persecution against Christians and Jews, and their freedom of belief, because that nation is against the God of creation. Their leaders want to run the country "their way, their rules", which usually means the best for "us" and "trample on the lower classes", or other better beliefs.

Atheist, humanists and evolutionists
Atheist, humanists and evolutionists, have for many years been working hard to turn USA into a non-Christian country by opposing any references to the God of the Bible, and also in other once Christian countries. This leaves the country wide open to more violent beliefs, and those who believe that violence and murder is the way to get power, and dominion, as the people have lost the connection to the God of the Bible, which is the main source of moral stamina. The loss of the Twin Towers in 9/11 caused many to question "religion" as they lumped ALL beliefs together and assumed that since one "belief" brought down the Towers, that all are bad. What you need to consider is that murder and hatred are forbidden in the Bible, though so-called christians have sometimes erred, but in the Quran it is demanded that believers in that religion "slay the infidel wherever you find them". Muslims around the world rejoiced when the Towers came down, take that as a warning. Also they are promised entry into paradise if they are slain in Jihad, (Holy war) and beautiful virgin wives, and two "eternal youths" in Paradise.
This is the "carrot" that many fall for and gladly blow themselves up, killing others, to enter the "paradise?" where all murderers will go to. If you are conversant with the idea of a God verses the Devil, then consider the aims of Satan who is a murderer and a liar. Every time he gets someone to commit murder, he gets the murderer for eternity, and doesn't have to supply any wives, that is just part of the carrot. Moslems worship a refurbished Moon God, but who is actually behind that? Not the God of Creation.

Reading newsletters from "Voice of the Martyrs", "Open Doors" etc, and any missionary who has served in Moslem dominated countries, will give you a better understanding of the differences between Christian and Moslem beliefs. Christians go out of their way to help in troubled areas, but the Moslems, even those with all the oil wealth, don't bother, don't care. Christians who go into Moslem countries to help the poor or homeless children are liable to be imprisioned or killed because they are showing the difference between the God who cares and the Moslem god who doesn't.

I found out recently that there is a very large cult claiming to be "Christian" and that most people think it is "Christian" but it has a very long history of opposing God and murdering true Christians. As usual for a cult it keeps adherents from learning about the Bible's true message, and engages in many un-christian things. So most people lump all "Christian" beliefs together and blame everyone for the bad behaviour of the "christian" cults. See cults for full details, as you may be in it.

Our sins:
As our sins, as God sees them according to His standards (Deuteronomy 25: v16) disqualify us from entering into heaven, there has to be some way of cancelling them or paying for them. But we from our fallen state cannot pay for them or make up for them. It is no good offering God gold or gems, since He put them here when He created the earth, and He can make as much or as many as He likes. Besides our gold is impure, in heaven God makes gold clear as glass, as no corruption is allowed in heaven (Rev. 21 v18 &Amp; 21). We cannot earn our way into heaven, so God arranged for payment. To cover the sins of everyone requires paying a very high price, which Jesus, our Messiah, one part, or aspect, of God, paid on the cross. The body could be killed, but not the spirit, and the body was raised up on the third day. See Passover for full explanation. I see this as a dividing event or watershed, in that there are now two sides or "teams": those who accept Jesus' sacrifice and God's offer, versus everybody else. What greater insult can you make to God than to remain on the side that crucified Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God? If you are on that side you should change to God's side. He is coming again to fulfill the rest of His mission, to bring peace and reign for ever. Without His first coming we gentiles would have no way of salvation, as we cannot pay for our evil ways, misdeeds and sins, as God sees them, which is more than we reckon on.

Not their fault: Note well!
This is not the fault of the Jews, as God had planned the method of redemption long before picking the Jews as His people, and they did exactly what God had planned and prophesied, they had to do it as planned. Isaiah Ch.52 and Ch.53, Ch.9 V6, 7. also Psalm 22. give an outline of what God had planned. This could only be done once, and had to be done "by the Book", as there was no alternative scheme by which we could be forgiven and saved. The crucifixion of Jesus is such a horrific crime that those who don't accept the offer Jesus has made for our salvation, remain on the side that crucified Jesus, and must pay for their sins themselves, but they can't pay! Only those who accept God's terms, and worship him, thankful for His mercy, may enter heaven. This causes division among people as some believe in Jesus and some don't, perhaps preferring evolution or a belief compatible with evolution, some eastern religions believe this world is an illusion, or some may even choose a belief that extols murder, suicide bombing and lying, perhaps because they then "feel" they are earning the right to heaven/paradise. Some search desperately for ways to earn their way into heaven, doing "penance" etc to earn points, but you cannot earn it, it is a gift, don't insult the giver by trying to pay for your salvation, just ask the giver, and follow His loving guidance. Jesus said in Luke Ch 12 v51 to v53, that he would bring division, it is the watershed that decides your fate.

You can argue for ever about the evidence for or against evolution, and dispute all Biblical claims, except those you choose to like, but never come to a full conclusion. Which is true, evolution or creation? There is eternal life, I assure you there is, do you want to know now, or at the end when you are thrown out in the rubbish, because you didn't care enough to bother finding out? Take the short quick route to finding out, as your eternal destiny is settled in this life, and who knows how many years or months you have left.

If even as an atheist or devout evolutionist you can summon up sufficient willingness to believe in God for a week or two, then follow God's requirements, they are:
(1) Assume the God of creation is in front of you, naming Him, "Dear heavenly father" (is commonly used) ask, him to hear you.
(2) Repent of your sins, as God sees them, and ask God to forgive you for them, particularly any that come to mind.
(3) Ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit. This is a bit like a second conscience and guide.
(4) Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, since He is paying for all your wrongs.
(5) Thank God.
(6) Keep an expectant attitude and if you have a Bible read some of it, either the New Testament, or Genesis, accepting it as a true record, particularly Genesis, since it establishes God's creation, and God's instructions to us, our fall from grace, and the reason for evil and degrading mutations. Fortunately as a Christian much of the Old Testament, the sacrifices, and history is of no great concern, though the prophesies are important, and many are still to be fulfilled, so after Genesis go to the New Testament.
Galatians Ch. 5 V4 "You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace." NIV Bible. As Christians we have been released from the old laws of sacrifice, and the 10 Commandments written on stone, as we are saved by grace, and we keep other laws out of respect for God, not as laws in the way that the non-believers have to obey them strictly, as they have not received grace.

If you have done this, then you have put your application into God's spiritual email inbox and if He believes that you mean it, you should hear soon. There is no set procedure, God does it differently every time. There are some hindrances, such as the occult, which may have been passed down through the generations, this should be renounced as you did with sins, but sometimes help is needed from Christians who believe in God's healing power, and His grace. Unfortunately many supposed Christians only believe some bits of the Bible, and might not accept the Bible's instructions to seek the best gifts, and to pray expectantly for healings, and deliverance, rights which are given to the saints (us, common people) until the Lord returns at the end of the age. (1 Corinthians Ch12, v 1-11, the gifts, and v27 to31, desire greater gifts)

After reading What happened in the beginning,
you may wish to follow it up by considering the verses usually involved in Salvation, that is getting better acquainted with God and His requirements and accepting His generous agreement for your eternal future.
