The Improbability of the Origin of Species by Evolution

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
(Genesis 1:11-12) NKJV

There’s a major glitch in THE NARRATIVE of evolution that you may not be aware of: did the four habits herb, vine, shrub and tree evolve before or after the differentiation of flower structure?

Scientific Facts

You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
(Leviticus 19:36) ESV

Popular science (SciPop) is an inductive rationalization of the the premise that the universe has no divine, supernatural cause. Unfortunately the universe has a divine, supernatural cause.

A Plan for Particle Physics

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
(Genesis 1:2) ESV

There’s a school of thought that the creation we live in was made from the remnants of an earlier one. In this narrative Genesis 1:1 describes a creation which was destroyed before the creative process begins in Genesis 1:2.

The Tree of Knowledge

Sunlight filtering throught leave of a knarled tree in the fall

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(Genesis 2:17) KJV

Creation was corrupted before Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden. It was created in a corrupted state in order to manifest free will. We can prove it using a process we call deductive questioning.

CSI: Hebrew

From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth; He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.
(Psalms 33:14-15) NKJV

Searching for meaning in the original Hebrew presents a problem of the variety that makes us wonder if the Theologians of old had a clue, and, if they did, did they figure that they could fudge it because no one would notice?

Foundation: מְכוֹנֶ֑יהָ – mechoneiha

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

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
(Psalms 104:5) KJV

This is a very specific usage of the word foundation. The root that the word is derived from is makon, which is more broad, however this particular variant occurs in one place only. It clearly established that the foundation of the Earth was established once for ever.

Deducing the Presence of the Firmament

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
(1 Corinthians 13:12) NKJV

We can use Principle VI to deduce the nature of stars from current scientific research and what we know about the firmament, a rigid sphere made up of at least 12 layers of different crystal structures.

Theoretical Evidence of the Firmament

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
(Job 37:18) KJV

Current cosmological models of the universe appear to show that 80% of the mass of the universe is missing. There’s no physical reason why the cosmos maintains its current stable state.

Empirical Evidence of the Firmament

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
(Psalms 19:1) KJV

Let’s look at empirical evidence of the firmament. That means direct observation. The most recent confirmation that we have of the presence of the firmament is from the New Horizons space mission.

90% of Your Mass is Missing

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18) NKJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) have an illustration from Physics that shows how Biblical literalists don’t have an inkling of the extent to which the Bible can be taken literally.
