Not all astrophysicists understand General Relativity

This segment from the Science Channel's "How the Universe Works" reveals that astrophysicists do not tend to have a rigorous education in the mathematics of general relativity. Unfortunately, untrained creationists have an uncritical aceptance of such popular expositions and repeat them in their expositions.

Here is Grant Tremblay commenting on the image of a blackhole. He claims we are looking at an actual discontinuity in the fabric of spacetime!

There is no such thing as spacetime. A belief in spacetime as a real completed object is a belief in eternalism. Belief in spacetime is antitheistic and anti Biblical. Spacetime is an abstract mathematical model of relativistic physics. Spacetime is not a fabric. Also, mathematically egregious is the claim that the event horizon is a discontinuity (in the fabric of spacetime). The event horizon is not a discontinuity.

Creationists need to engage in critical mathematical and theological analysis and abandon such beliefs.
