This excerpt from the Creation Research Society Quarterly delves into a decades-old argument by G. Russell Akridge proposing that the light from distant stars was created in transit to conserve energy at the moment charged particles appeared. The author, Max Lorentz, critically examines Akridge's reasoning, pinpointing a fundamental flaw in his application of electromagnetism, specifically his incorrect equation for the electric field of a newly created charge. Lorentz demonstrates through correct electrodynamic calculations that an expanding electric field does not inherently violate energy conservation, thus negating the necessity for in-transit light creation. The article concludes by reflecting on the importance of rigorous self-critique within the creation science community, using Akridge's flawed argument as a cautionary yet instructive historical example.
