Physics is the science of matter and energy and of interactions between the two. While at first this may look simple, the interactions between matter and energy are not always simple. This is compounded by the fact that matter and energy have been shown to be manifestations of the same thing, and that they affect both space and time.
To a large degree physics deals with the details of how the universe works. For example quantum physics shows the universe to be indeterminate at its most fundamental level, which is consistent with the Biblical idea that God controls and sustains the universe. In fact indeterminacy at a fundamental level is actually predicted by the idea of a universe controlled and sustained by God.
In general creationists have little if any disagreement with major theories of physics, however there is disagreement on their application to origins. Physics has proven quite useful in creation science. In recent years there has been great success in applying physics to creation cosmologies and flood geology.

Optics is the field of physics that deals with the study of light and its interactions with mater. It is the bases for many of the instruments used by scientists to study the Universe. Optics also helps us to understand vision, the main way we perceive the world. It also helps us improve our vision through corrective lenses where there are defects and to improve are ability to see distant objects and small objects.

Selected biography
David Russell Humphreys, Ph.D., is an award-winning nuclear and theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and creationist. His most notable contributions to creation science are his insights on the rapid decay of Earth's magnetic field, his ongoing contributions to the RATE Group project, and his white hole cosmology.
Quotes
One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet here we are -- as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation. Wald, George. "The Origin of Life", in The Physics and Chemistry of Life (Simon & Schuster, 1955), 270 pp.
