Down the Rabbit Hole

Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? It is higher than heaven—what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?

(Job 11:7-8) ESV

What if we told you that the world popular science (SciPop) wants you to believe in, an insignificant speck orbiting an insignificant speck drifting through a vast cosmos, is a false narrative of godless existence? Do you even care?

Nothing Like This Has Ever Been Done Before

Do you think it’s possible to attack popular science (SciPop)? I mean, what would be the point, right? What possible purpose would it serve? Why on Earth would someone do that?

What if SciPop is a false theoretical construct, like the Matrix, designed to make you think that believing in God is stupid: the kind of thing that only idiots do? You know, uneducated, ignorant people. People you laugh at because you think you’re so much smarter than them.

What if the Bible is actually true? Being stupid in heaven is actually a better outcome than being intelligent in hell. Did you ever think about that?

What if it became necessary to expose the fact that SciPop has been meticulously constructed to make the Bible seem irrelevant? The reason why is complicated, but it comes down to our desire to be free from the judgment of God. Free to live our lives however we want and have no consequences.

What if someone was called to warn you that there are consequences?

Would it be like attacking SciPop?

  • Trinity: Nothing like this has ever been done before.
  • Neo: That’s why it’s going to work.

The Center of Gravity

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

(Genesis 1:6-8) KJV

When the Lord said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters… he established the position of the heavens. Considering the passage: when he set a compass on the face of the depth: it’s completely logical to understand the heavens as a circle, or sphere, which has a fixed distance, or radius, from the center.

Divide the Waters from the Waters

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

This post is part of the series Gravity

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

( Genesis 1:6-8 )

Dividing the waters above from the waters below requires at least two things to happen, as we will see. Above what? is a good question, since there was only a formless mass at this time. Whatever was to divide the waters has to be constructed in the process of dividing them because there was nothing there to do it before. God made a firmament in the midst of the waters, and there is something both under it and above it. The concept of under and above tells us that there is now an up and a down, so an ordering has already taken place, at the beginning of the process of dividing the waters.

Propitiation

In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

(1 John 4:10) ESV

Propitiation is the price paid for our redemption. This was Jesus himself. He lived a sinless life and his sacrifice was sufficient to pay for the sins of the whole world.

Justification

being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

(Romans 3:24-26) NKJV

Being cleansed of my sin and made holy is achieved through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. This is justification.

My Sin

But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

(Romans 3:21-23) NKJV

Original sin caused the fallen condition of mankind, but it’s not the reason for the fallen state of creation and and it’s not an excuse for the sin that I/you/we commit. I’m not going to have to pay the penalty for original sin, but I’m going to have to pay the penalty for my sin. Recognition of the fact that we all are sinners is essential for salvation.

The Cursed Earth

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

(Genesis 3:17-19) KJV

It seems that some people are confused by the concepts of original sin and the cursed Earth, because they interpret the passage about Noah after the flood as God removing the curse of original sin.

Original Sin

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned –

(Romans 5:12) NKJV

Why is original sin such a big deal, and why did Adam and Eve eating forbidden fruit have such a profound impact on the world. Why does it still impact each of our lives today? The simple answer: Physics.
