Hypothesis 22

Biblical Literalism

Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”
(Luke 10:23-24) NKJV

“Biblical literalists” are usually indignant and defend the mainstream science paradigm (SciPop) when shown that they don’t have an inkling of the true extent to which the Bible may be taken literally.

The Church Balcony

Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
(Job 11:7-8) KJV

Can we by searching find out God? The clear implication is that no, we can’t, but there’s something important to remember whenever we contemplate passages from the book of Job: Who’s speaking?

Highest part: וְ֝רֹ֗אשׁ – rosh

before God made the earth and its fields
or even the first handful of soil.
(Proverbs 8:26) Good News Translation

While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
(Proverbs 8:26) King James Version

IF Eden was at the top of a mountain that filled the whole Earth, and a river from Eden watered the surface of the whole land, THEN the concept of elevation will be found in the scriptural context.

Where did the water come from?

The Hydrology of Eden Deduction 1

When the Lord God made the universe, there were no plants on the earth and no seeds had sprouted, because he had not sent any rain, and there was no one to cultivate the land; but water would come up from beneath the surface and water the ground.
(Genesis 2:4-6) Good News Translation

A stream flowed in Eden and watered the garden; beyond Eden it divided into four rivers. The first river is the Pishon; it flows around the country of Havilah. (Pure gold is found there and also rare perfume and precious stones.) The second river is the Gihon; it flows around the country of Cush. The third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria, and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
(Genesis 2:10-14) Good News Translation

The simple answer to the question: where did the water come from which watered the surface of the land? is: it up welled at Eden. But, how did it get to Eden if there hadn’t been any rain?

The Logic of Eden

A stream flowed in Eden and watered the garden; beyond Eden it divided into four rivers. The first river is the Pishon; it flows around the country of Havilah. (Pure gold is found there and also rare perfume and precious stones.) The second river is the Gihon; it flows around the country of Cush. The third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria, and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
(Genesis 2:10-14) Good News Translation

The logic of Eden is deduced from a simple observation: IF rivers from Eden watered the surface of the Earth, AND water flows downhill, THEN Eden must have been the highest point on the Earth.

The Third Day

And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
(Genesis 1:9-13) ESV

As we build Matty’s Paradigm we find amazing opportunities to account for a lot of scriptural oddities that are a problem for Creationism and Flat Earthers alike.
