e·clip·tic /əˈkliptik/

God made a home in the sky for the sun;
it comes out in the morning like a happy bridegroom,
like an athlete eager to run a race.
It starts at one end of the sky
and goes across to the other.
Nothing can hide from its heat.
(Psalms 19:4b-6) Good News Translation

We love our trolls. They help in so many ways. The first is by boosting our engagement stats. The second is the encouragement that we get from them. A troll said the nicest thing that anyone has said to us in a long time:

Chlorophyll

Your mother was like a grapevine
planted near a stream.
Because there was plenty of water,
the vine was covered with leaves and fruit.
(Ezekiel 19:10) Good news Translation

Chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight in a process called photosynthesis and produces Hydrogen (H⁺). It’s a picture of the command that God gave to begin the process of forming organic life: let light be.

The Traditional Understanding of “Let there be Light”

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light.
(Genesis 1:1-3) KJV

The first major split between Matty’s Paradigm and Creationism is in answering the question: What’s the source or nature of the light that the Lord created on the first day of creation?

Effect and Cause

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
(Matthew 15:14) KJV

Why are planetary orbits elliptical? Supposedly Sir Isaac Newton solved this problem mathematically in his Principia Mathematica (1687).

Hypothesis 6

There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
(Proverbs 20:15) KJV

In Matty’s Paradigm we believe that the universe is enclosed in a crystalline sphere called the firmament, so it can’t be expanding. Obviously there’s some other explanation for the apparent redshift of stellar objects.

Kepler didn’t Understand Kepler’s 1st Law

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) New King James Version

Either Kepler didn’t understand his own laws, or he lied about them. Ellipses have two foci except, it seems, in the popular science SciPop heliocentric model (SciPop), in which elliptical planetary orbits have one.

When Empirical Isn’t

What is crooked cannot be made straight, And what is lacking cannot be numbered.
(Ecclesiastes 1:15) NKJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) were asked: if Newton’s law of universal gravitation is an empirical formula, how is the accepted mass of the sun (1.9^E30 kg) not empirical?

Relative Motion

The sun still rises, and it still goes down, going wearily back to where it must start all over again.
(Ecclesiastes 1:5) Good News Translation

There’s no observable difference between heliocentric and Geocentrospheric models because they’re two frames of reference in the same system. They coexist.

“We know that the difference between a heliocentric theory and a geocentric theory is one of relative motion only, and that such a difference has no physical significance.”
— Sir Fred Hoyle in Astronomy and Cosmology, 1975, p. 416.

Voyager Found the Firmament

Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
(Jeremiah 31:37) KJV

The Voyager spacecraft have been on their missions since 1977 and have flown far past the orbits of the planets in our solar system. They took a solar system family portrait and found the firmament.

Measure the Heavens

If one day the sky could be measured
and the foundations of the earth explored,
only then would he reject the people of Israel
because of all they have done.
The Lord has spoken.
(Jeremiah 31:37) Good News Translation

We start with a simple observation: God hasn’t, and won’t, cast off the seed of Israel. This leads us to a conclusion: We haven’t measured the heavens. So why do we think that we know the distance to the sun and its mass?
