Evolution

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

(Romans 1:22-23) KJV

The fifth axiom of popular science (SciPop) is Humanity is a product of biological evolution. It’s wishful thinking, an inductive rationalization of the premise of evolution.

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.

Heliocentricity

For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

(Romans 8:24-25) NKJV

The second axiom of popular science (SciPop) is Earth orbits the sun. It’s embodied in Copernicus’ 7 assumptions. It’s wishful thinking, just instructions how to imagine the universe from a frame of reference other than the Earth.

Peer Review

He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

(2 Samuel 22:10) NKJV

The SciPop narrative of godless existence has been developed by the process of peer review. Peer review is the ruler of a pantheon of deities which serve to protect the 5 axioms of SciPop.

Epistemology

When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

(Proverbs 11:2) NKJV

The intellectual tragedy of our generation is a failure to understand what evidence is and how it’s used, and the resulting misconception about what constitutes knowledge. The theory of knowledge is called epistemology.

Hitchens’s Razor

Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

(Proverbs 16:18 ) NKJV

Hitchens’s razor is one of the most popular atheist deities. It’s the intellectual equivalent of putting your thumbs in your ears and wiggling your fingers while sticking your tongue out. It’s regarded as intellectual high ground from which “scientists” can automatically dismiss anything said by a person of faith.

Atheism Annihilates

To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

(Psalms 53:1) KJV

Matty’s Paradigm, or Geocentrospheric Devolutionary Creation, has been developed from the principle God cannot lie and the Bible is true, which in turn was deduced from the Axioms of Principia Mattymatica.

God can’t lie and the Bible is true.

Principia Mattymatica – Principle I

Vegetarian Silurian?

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

(Genesis 3:1) NKJV

What was the serpent in the garden of Eden? Some say Satan, but this isn’t possible nor is it a conclusion that we can deduce. We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) propose that the serpent in Genesis 3 was a bipedal reptilian humanoid.

Hold Fast

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

( Hebrews 4:14 )

So supposedly I was destroyed by a YouTuber. The funny thing is I don’t feel destroyed. I feel exactly the same as I did before I had even heard of that particular YouTuber. Do you know why? Because I wasn’t destroyed. What happened was that someone disagreed with me and made a video about disagreeing with me.

There is a simple reason why this is not a problem: my work is based upon the Word of God. I started with a simple premise: God cannot lie. If God cannot lie, but the Bible and science appear, at least superficially, to tell completely different stories about the origin of the earth, then science is always wrong. It doesn’t matter how many YouTubers want to go on record as saying the opposite: that science is right and the Bible is wrong. It’s sadly irrelevant. It’s sad because they have taken a stand which puts them in opposition against God, but that’s their problem, not mine.

The passage which I frequently refer to as being a Biblical expression of the truth that God cannot lie is in Paul’s letter to Titus:

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

( Titus 1:1-2 )

It is interesting that this is stated again with even more veracity in Hebrews:

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

( Hebrews 6:18-20 )

Two immutable things?

  1. Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil,
  2. Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

It is impossible for God to lie, therefore we have hope that the soul will enter into the veil, because Jesus Christ has already entered.

So Titus and Hebrews both tell us that it is impossible for God to lie. It’s interesting that atheists love to spout their superficial propaganda that if God cannot lie then he obviously isn’t omnipotent. What they haven’t grasped is that God had to created a physical system in which lying was possible in order to manifest free will, but he is outside, beyond and not limited by this system.

This gets me a little closer to the issue of the day: lying.

The YouTuber who supposedly destroyed me made a video so long and tedious that I only made it through about 1/3 of it, and that was a struggle. I have been pondering whether or not I owe it to him to watch the whole thing? On one hand, if I don’t watch it then I can’t respond to it point by point, and I won’t know if there is anything substantive in it which may have merit. This also gives him cause to say something along the lines of me being scared and unwilling to face the reality of his intellectual superiority.

The fact is I’m not scared enough to force myself to watch the video, because there’s nothing to be scared of. God cannot lie, it is impossible for God to lie. God had to create a whole creation just to make it possible for US to lie. Therefore the Bible is true and popular science is wrong. So here’s what I decided: The YouTuber who supposedly destroyed me may be the first but he will not be the last. I would imagine that if God allows the social media reach of Matty’s Paradigm to increase they will become fairly frequent. So how do I plan to handle this? Given that nothing any of them can say can change God, His Word, or the truth? I took another quick look at the video to collect some data:

  1. In the video the host described my blog as stupid at the 15 second mark,
  2. The host starts lying at the 1 minute 42 second mark.

I think I’ll watch any commentary video about me up to the first lie. That’s all.
