The Speed of Plate Tectonics

He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

(Habakkuk 3:6) KJV

The Pangaea super-continent broke up into tectonic plates and these moved into their current locations over the space of a century or so. How do we know? By studying paleomagnetism.

Uniformitarianism Fails

Cutaway of planet Earth showing the relative depth of Noah's flood

And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered. The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

(Genesis 7:19-20) NKJV

Uniformitarianism exists to support the time scale needed in the popular science narrative of godless existence (SciPop) but it’s not a testable hypothesis, so it’s not scientific.

Uniformitarianism Applied

The earth is violently broken, The earth is split open, The earth is shaken exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, And shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again.

(Isaiah 24:19-20) NKJV

A classic example of the use of uniformitarianism is the calculation of how much has time has passed since the tectonic plates formed. Supposedly we can tell how fast the African and American continents are moving apart.

Astronomy or Cosmology?

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

(Hebrews 4:12) NKJV

Tags are only as useful as we make them. Since we started blogging in October 2015 we’ve been tagging posts on the physics of space and related subject matter as both #astronomy and #cosmology. That has the effect of making both tags meaningless.

The Hubble Constant

If one day the sky could be measured
and the foundations of the earth explored,
only then would he reject the people of Israel
because of all they have done.
The Lord has spoken.

(Jeremiah 31:37) Good News Translation

Sir Edwin Hubble was one of the first to suggest that the apparent redshift of stellar objects is caused by the Doppler effect as the universe expands and the stars become further and further away.

Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge

(1 Timothy 6:20) NKJV

Detection of the CMBR is taken to be support for the Big Bang Theory, although using the CMBR in this way only amounts to an inductive rationalization of circumstantial evidence to fit a premise.

Earth’s Orbital Shifts May Have Triggered Ancient Global Warming

A study combining astronomical and geologic data hints at an extraterrestrial cause for extreme climate change 56 million years ago.

Earth Internal Region Zone Volume Values

Comparison of Earth before and after Peleg's tectonics.

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

(Leviticus 19:36) KJV

We have developed a 3D spherical hollow Earth model (SHEM). If the Earth has experienced radial shrinkage and it’s diameter decreased, we can so some simple calculations to figure out what the original radius was.
