Heavy Rainfall and Aridity

And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry. And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.
(Genesis 8:13-14) NKJV

If the rocks of the Devonian tell a tale of the world being flooded and then drying out, why are we surprised?

Sedimentary, My Dear Watson

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
(Jonah 2:6) KJV

Floods leave deposits of sediment. Over time sediment can become rock. If animals and plants are trapped in the sediment they become fossils. Sedimentary rock covers about 70% of the earth’s surface.

Experimentation for the Decay Constant

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
(Leviticus 19:36) KJV

Are nuclear decay rates constant or variable? With only 120 years of measurements to work with, and using gravitational time dilation to debunk stellar spectroscopy, there’s no way to find out.

Evidence for the Decay Constant

Diagram showing how gravitational time dilation can account for observed redshift

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
(2 Peter 3:8) KJV

The evidence that nuclear decay has been constant are measurements of radioactivity which have been made since it was discovered in 1896, about 120 years worth of data.

Upholding all Things

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
(Hebrews 1:3) KJV

With the fall of man the power of God to maintain atomic nuclei in a stable state was withdrawn somewhat. God’s power didn’t diminish, but God, according to his will and plan, allowed atomic nuclei to decay.

The Day the Earth Began to Die

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;
(Genesis 3:17) KJV

The heat of nuclear decay caused the core of the Earth to start melting, and it was partially dissipated by the waters of the deep which by circulated to the surface of the Earth transferring heat safely into the atmosphere.

The Radioisotope Timescale

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
(Titus 3:9) KJV

Mainstream science (SciPop) has a timescale that’s designed to rationalize biological evolution. Along the way it’s picked up several pieces of supposedly supporting evidence, one of which is radiocarbon and radioisotope dating.

The Bigger They Come the Harder They Fall

And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
(1 Samuel 17:4) NKJV

Nuclear decay is an unfortunate consequence of large atomic nuclei. Small atomic nuclei don’t normally decay because the force holding them together isn’t so great as to cause excessive friction within the nuclei.

The Mathematics of Hell

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
(Leviticus 19:36) KJV

Everyone believes math because it’s, well, math. Math doesn’t lie, supposedly. Math may not lie but it can be used to tell a lie if that’s what you decide to use it for. Math is a tool, not a guide. It’s very helpful to bear this in mind:

Math is imaginary, it only exists in your mind when you have faith that numerals represent concepts.

The Opposition to Hell

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
(2 Timothy 4:3-4) NKJV

Most people don’t believe that hell is real. For most people it’s fallen through the cracks of mythology, which is odd because ocean water warming data shows that our oceans are warming from the bottom up.
