Time Dilation

Diagram showing how gravitational time dilation can account for observed redshift

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

(2 Peter 3:8) KJV

Albert Einstein predicted relativistic time dilation: the faster we go the slower time passes. At the speeds that humans travel it’s inconsequential. It’s a diversion away from the more significant gravitational time dilation.

The Law of Universal Gravitation

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV

Physical laws describe broad classes of observations. They’re a summary of what we know. They don’t define the universe, they’re defined by the universe.

Biblical Seismology

Cutaway of planet earth showing hell at the center

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 testimony of Jesus Christ establishes that there’s a great gulf of open space inside the Earth. It’s described in the passage known as the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31).

Relative Dates

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

Measuring of the ages of rocks using radioisotope ratios gives us a relative scale on which to arrange specimens but, due to the fact that the premise of the decay constant is bogus, these aren’t absolute dates.

Absolute Dates

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

(1 Corinthians 15:41) KJV

Radiometric dating has been contrived in such a way as to make it look as if the “dates” it calculates for rocks are absolute. Absolute means that the dates are separated on a timescale which is known.

Biblical Gravitation and the Cause of Noah’s Flood

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

A problem in creationism is: what caused the breakup of Pangaea and the formation of tectonic plates? Was it the waters of Noah’s flood or an extra-terrestrial impact? We say neither.

A Biblical Narrative for Physics

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned –

(Romans 5:12) NKJV

The reason and purpose of creation form the basis of narrative which allows us to account for all physical evidence and empirical observations within the context of 6 day creation, the fall, and the fulfillment of prophecy.

The Physics of Hell

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

(2 Corinthians 10:4-5) KJV

The popular science (SciPop) rationalization for the liquid outer core is an ephemeral strand of wispy logic. It predates Stephen Hawking but it’s an example of the Hawking Effect. All it has to do is sound plausible.
