Axiom IV – The Internal Structure of Earth and Size of the Cosmos are Unknowable

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

Most people think that popular science (SciPop) has measured the cosmos, and that Earth’s internal structure is well known. They also think that it’s all been measured by spacecraft, like Star Trek.

Corollary V – Kepler’s Laws

Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.
(Daniel 2:27-28a) KJV

Kepler’s Laws are the weakest point of the theoretical foundation of popular science (SciPop). The weakness is that Kepler’s laws are derived empirically, but they’re applied theoretically.

Axiom III

Earth is the Center of the Observable Universe

The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
(Habakkuk 3:11 ) KJV

The fact that Earth is at the center of the observable universe is empirical. The problem is, does anyone know what empirical means? Here are some definitions.

Original Article

NASA‘s New Horizons spacecraft has helped scientists study a mysterious phenomenon at the edge of the Solar System, where particles from the Sun and interstellar space interact.

The Star of Bethlehem

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
(Matthew 2:1-2) KJV

The last physical phenomena of world-wide, or at least region-wide, significance in the recent epoch is the most famous one of all, the star of Bethlehem.

The Shadow of the Sundial

Behold, I will bring the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down with the sun on the sundial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.” So the sun returned ten degrees on the dial by which it had gone down.
(Isaiah 38:8) NKJV

Jerusalem was besieged by the Assyrian army and King Hezekiah was so sick that he nearly died. Then the sun went backwards.

Exodus

So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
(Exodus 9:24) KJV

The plagues of the Exodus included rivers and streams turning into blood, a rain of hail mingled with fire, and impenetrable darkness in which people couldn’t see their hands in front of their faces.

As it speeds away from the Sun, the New Horizons mission may be approaching a “wall.”

Synonymy

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
(Matthew 24:29) KJV

The third axiom of popular science (SciPop) is stars are distant suns and galaxies. It’s part of Galileo’s Bluff, wishful thinking, an inductive rationalization of the premise that stars are distant suns and galaxies.

Dark Matter Isn’t

The Nobel Prize for Failing to Detect Dark Matter

Science Headline: Dark Matter Particles Must Be Smaller Than We Thought

This is because, [Brown] explained, since they cannot differentiate between dark matter signals and background signals, “if we had seen a dark matter signal we could have measured its size, but because we couldn’t see it, we can only say it has to be smaller than “this amount,” Brown said. He gave the example that, if there were two signals detected, they would be attributed to the two background events predicted. But because there were no events detected, background or dark matter, the dark matter “particles” must be smaller than they’d anticipated.
By Chelsea Gohd June 01, 2018

It is clear that something unseen is providing the gravitational interaction which maintains the universe in its current stable state. That’s evidence. It is not evidence of dark matter, it is simply evidence of something.
