Newton’s Firmament

Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the Lord of hosts is his name:

“If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the Lord, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.”

(Jeremiah 31:35-36) ESV

“And therefore as it is possible, that in the remote regions of the fixed stars, or perhaps far beyond them, there may be some body absolutely at rest; but impossible to know…” Sir Isaac Newton speculating about the firmament.

Synchronicity

a drawing compass and the creation of gravity on the second day

When he prepared the heavens, I was there:
when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

(Proverbs 8:27) King James Version

When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,

(Proverbs 8:27) English Standard Version

When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and compass he enclosed the depths:

(Proverbs 8:27) Douay-Rheims Bible

The compass point on the face of the depth is the location of a gravitational singularity. It’s refered to as the foundation(s) of the earth. The circle that the compass metaphorically draws is the location of the firmament (heaven).

A Spellyng Mystaque

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

(Jeremiah 10:12, 51:15) KJV

It turns out that theologians fudge their data just like scientists do. Sometimes things don’t make sense, do they? What could possibly be wrong with helping them make sense? This approach is inductive, aka eisegesis.

The Banded Iron Formations

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

(Hebrews 9:23) KJV

We have a way to account for physical evidence, the banded iron formations and enigmatic Precambrian fossils, in a way that’s strikingly similar to the narrative induced by mainstream science (SciPop).

A Theory of First Cause

Stylalized ball-and-stick water molecule

See to it that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ.

(Colossians 2:8) RSV

First cause isn’t the same as the Big Bang. The Big Bang, or more accurately we should say nucleosynthesis, is an effect, not a cause. Popular Science (SciPop) promotes speculation about a possible first cause.

Matty’s Paradox

the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy thumbe up

For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.

(Psalms 90:4) ESV

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

(2 Peter 3:8) ESV

The universe may be 13.8 billion years old while the Earth is 6,000 or so years old SIMULTANEOUSLY. The ramifications of gravitational time dilation (GTD) are known as Matty’s Paradox.
