Hypothesis 3

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

(Job 38:31-33) KJV

The image here was taken by Voyager 1 by aiming its cameras back towards the Earth and taking a series of pictures. It is called the Solar System Family Portrait. The sun is not large as seen from Voyager, only about one-fortieth of the diameter as seen from Earth.

A Theory of Time

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

(Romans 13:11) NKJV

The universe may be 13.8 billion years old while the Earth is 6,000 or so years old SIMULTANEOUSLY. If there’s good science which shows that the material in the universe is really that old, our theory can accommodate it.

An Assembly of Souls

Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed,saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”

(Psalms 2:1-3) NKJV

Part of the meaning of the word foundation in the phrase “the foundation of the world,” is an assembly sitting together, as it were the kings of the Earth taking counsel together.

Deducing Life in Zero-G

For inquire, please, of the former age, And consider the things discovered by their fathers; For we were born yesterday, and know nothing,
Because our days on earth are a shadow.

(Job 8:8-9) NKJV

The creation of gravity is one thing, but how do we deduce that life began before it? There are several clues. One involves the scriptural metaphor that milk has to come before solid food.

Spiritual Separation

Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”

(2 Corinthians 6:17) NKJV

Separation is a scriptural doctrine which is generally thought of in terms of Christians holding themselves apart from the rest of the world and avoiding worldly distraction which can lead us into sin. There’s more to it than that.

Orientation Under and Above

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)

And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

(Genesis 1:6-8) ESV

The second clue to deducing the creation of gravity is from Genesis 1:6-8. Now for the first time creation has an orientation. This theme continues throughout scripture. Under and above are synonyms for up and down.

The Word Became Flesh

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

(1 Corinthians 11:23-24) ESV

We need to demonstrate a logical progression [from] the elements produced by nucleosynthesis [to] organic life with replicating DNA. Fortunately science did a bang up job of documenting it.
