Matty’s Harmonization
“Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’
(Luke 19:24) NKJV
It’s impossible to prove that radioisotopes have always decayed at a constant rate throughout history, since the ability to detect and measure radioactive decay is only about 120 years old.

Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call “Knowledge.” For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way of faith.
God’s grace be with you all.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21) Good News Translation
A lot of people are involved in the science vs. faith debate. This is rather ironic since what they refer to as “science” is a sad parody called mainstream science (SciPop) which requires just as much faith as any religion does.

If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved.
(Romans 10:9-10) Good News Translation
Matty’s Paradigm is huge and complex, but don’t worry, it’s not necessary for salvation. What you believe about the Bible and science doesn’t effect salvation. There’s no quiz or exam.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
(Jeremiah 17:9) KJV
One aspect of the soul is the heart which is, among other things, our drive and motivation. Another aspect of the soul is the mind which is our ability to reason. Physically the heart is a pump that drives blood, the mind is a brain.

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
(Colossians 1:16) ESV
We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) use systematic deduction allowing the Bible to reveal how it interacts with our environment. As such, we need to clarify the usage of two words, spiritual and physical.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
What kind of purpose are we talkimg about?
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
( 2 Timothy 1:8-9 )
Are they the same thing?
When was the purpose decided on?
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
( Ephesians 1:4 )
Whatever the purpose is, or for whom, it was estanlished before the foundation of the world.
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
( Titus 1:2 )
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
(Matthew 13:24-25) KJV
A lot of things about God start to make sense when you know the purpose of creation. In particular the uneasy feeling you may get with the idea of a kind and loving God casting sinners into hell.

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
(1 Timothy 6:9) NKJV
Perdition can be translated “ruin.” Perdition is a nuanced kind of destruction with eternal consequences. It’s not the end of something, as if it disappears. It’s the end of what could have been.

Praise the Lord’s glorious name;
(1 Chronicles 16:29-31) Good News Translation
bring an offering and come into his Temple.
Bow down before the Holy One when he appears;
tremble before him, all the earth!
The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.
Does relativity refute the idea of an absolute frame of reference? No. Relativity is an inductive rationalization of the premise that there isn’t one, but it’s derived from an incorrect theory of gravity.

The king ordered Ashpenaz, his chief official, to select from among the Israelite exiles some young men of the royal family and of the noble families. They had to be handsome, intelligent, well-trained, quick to learn, and free from physical defects, so that they would be qualified to serve in the royal court. Ashpenaz was to teach them to read and write the Babylonian language.
(Daniel 1:3-4) Good News Translation
Newton gave mainstream science (SciPop) the math it needed to remove Earth from the center of the universe, and hell from the center of Earth. His work is based on bold guesses. They were wrong.
