Radial Shrinkage

a comparison of the size of the planet earth on the third day vs. present day

Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

(Job 9:5-6) KJV

It will help to have an idea of the volume of material in the Earth’s mantle because it appears that Earth has shrunk since it was first created, a process known as radial shrinkage.

The Pillars of the Earth

Cutaway of planet Earth showing the crust, mantle, great gulf and hell.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.

(1 Samuel 2:8) KJV

The pillars of the earth” are incorporated into a 3D model of a spherical Earth in which they’re part of Earth’s internal structure. They don’t require us to believe that the Earth is flat.

And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

“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.’

And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’

(Luke 16:23-24, 26) NKJV

The popular science (SciPop) “liquid outer core” is speculative at best, and there’s no reason why it can’t be open space. The P-wave shadow zone is the great gulf of which Jesus spoke in Luke 16:26.

But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’

(Luke 16:25-26) NKJV

The Beginning of the Earth

Planet earth on the second day as concentric layers of sediment around a gravitational singularity

And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.

(Judges 15:15-16) KJV

In order to use seismological data to learn about the structure of the Earth we have to understand the formation of the Earth. In particular the creative act of the second day: the creation of gravity.

To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg (for in his days the earth was divided), and his brother’s name was Joktan.
