And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
( 1 Corinthians 11:24 ) KJV
We need to demonstrate a logical progression [from] the elements produced by nucleosynthesis [to] organic life with replicating DNA. Fortunately Science has done a bang up job of documenting this progression.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
( John 1:1-5 ) KJV
We use scripture and the scientific method to test a predictive hypothesis that the deep, the Word of God, and Jesus Christ are all synonyms for the same Divine aspect of the Trinity – God the Son.
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
( 2 Corinthians 4:18 ) KJV
All current supposedly “scientific” models of the universe tell us that 80-85% of the mass of the universe is missing. This is the reason why SciPop had to invent black holes and then dark matter.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
( Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 ) KJV
“And God said,” was energetically equal to the energy needed to cause the deep, the mass of the entire universe, to undergo nucleosynthesis. In a closed thermodynamic system this energy is still available.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
( Hebrews 11:3 ) KJV
The existence of the deep means that the process of creation does not require God to create anything from nothing. The first law of thermodynamics is not broken in the Biblical account of creation.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
( Genesis 1:3 ) KJV
Let Light Be (LLB) Nucleosynthesis, and the conditions described in Genesis 1:2-3, gives us the origin of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). Therefore, detection of the CMBR proves that Genesis is true.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
( John 1:14 ) KJV
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
( 1 Corinthians 8:6 ) KJV
Given the role that the Son, the Word of God, plays as the source and originator of creation, we may understand the Greek words legó and logos to mean: The systematic assembly of components into a predictable sequence.
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
( 1 Peter 3:16 ) KJV
It is embarrassing and counter-productive when Christians argue against evolution. The process of evolution is extensively documented. The nuance is the context in which to place it. It started in Genesis 3:16.
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
( Isaiah 29:14 ) KJV
We are going to cause the wisdom of the SciPop wise men to perish. You probably think that SciPop has disproved hell. That’s why we’re going to disprove SciPop. It’s very simple really.
I really should have known better than to try to travel through Chicago in winter. In all my years of traveling this is the first time that I have had to abort a trip. I’m home again, rebooked on a flight From Greensboro to Newark early in the morning. It connects me to a direct flight to London, Heathrow, so I will only be about 5 hours behind schedule.
I have got to say that I am very impressed with the professionalism, grace, poise and teamwork of the United Airways staff. Thank you so much!
The weather across the plains and Midwest is looking really bad. My flight to Chicago was delayed, which was fine, but when the Chicago-Copenhagen flight got cancelled I realized that it was going to be a big mistake to go to Chicago.
Fargo, ND
The United representative rebooked my flight and the United ground crew were able to get my checked bag off the Chicago flight. They made sure that I had it in my hand before I went anywhere. They were completely slammed but they remained courteous, polite and helpful with everybody.
The trip had started with an excellent UBER ride. The driver was easy going and we chatted quite a bit. The car was excellent. By the time we got to the airport I had given him the magic math to successful UBER driving and tax filing. We wish him the best of luck.
The ride home was quite different. The car had a very bad vibration from the rear passenger tire, where I happened to be sitting. I happen to know that this is likely to be caused by the tire being worn out because it has not been rotated on the correct schedule. It gave a very poor impression of the state of maintenance of that particular vehicle. I just happen to be an UBER driver and I just happen to know what it’s like when a rider reports you for a safety concern. However, safety has to be the top priority, so I let UBER know that I was concerned.
The next interesting challenge will be getting an UBER at 4:00am tomorrow morning.
