Absolute Frame of Reference

Comparison of Earth's size and internal structure through history

When the exiles arrived at the Lord’s Temple in Jerusalem, some of the leaders of the clans gave freewill offerings to help rebuild the Temple on its old site. They gave as much as they could for this work, and the total came to 1,030 pounds of gold, 5,740 pounds of silver, and 100 robes for priests.

(Ezra 2:68-69) Good News Translation

The idea that the presence of God dwells in a specific place, as a theme, doesn’t get picked up until King David wanted to build a temple. Up until that time the Lord used a tabernacle as the center of worship.

Gravitational Lensing

God made a home in the sky for the sun;
it comes out in the morning like a happy bridegroom,
like an athlete eager to run a race.
It starts at one end of the sky
and goes across to the other.
Nothing can hide from its heat.

(Psalms 19:4b-6) Good News Translation

We observe the gravity of the sun causing light from stars to bend. It’s called gravitational lensing. This shows that light has properties of both waves and particles, but everything is energy when it comes right down to it.

Time Dilation

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

Albert Einstein predicted relativistic time dilation: the faster we go the slower time passes. At the speeds that humans travel it’s inconsequential. It’s a diversion away from the more significant gravitational time dilation.

The ISS isn’t Zero-G

The heavens were established when the point of a metaphorical compass was set as the place where a gravitational singularity was created. The circle is the location of the firmament.

(Proverbs 8:27) Paraphrased

If Earth is the center of gravity of the observable universe, then the observable universe is in the gravitational field of Earth. The strength of the field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from Earth.

Scientists on an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider see massive W particles emerging from collisions with electromagnetic fields. How can this happen?

Hypothesis 20

The Great Flood Anoxic Event

Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call “Knowledge.” For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way of faith.

God’s grace be with you all.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) Good News Translation

The prediction is that there was a mass extinction of marine life during Noah’s flood. The test is the stratigraphic evidence of a world-wide anoxic extinction. That’s a scientific hypothesis.
