The Soul Conclusion

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
(1 Timothy 1:6-7) KJV

Jesus warned us about hell as the place where unrepentant souls suffer torment. We’re supposed to tell the world that Jesus is the way to redeem our souls and avoid hell. That’s when you encounter this:

“There’s no such thing as a soul because science can’t detect it.”

Searched out Beneath

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

The interior of the earth is not seen. The hope of our generation is that hell is a myth. That would mean that there’s no judgement for sin and we can live immoral lives without fearing any consequences.

Unfortunately the very same data that SciPop uses as evidence that there’s no hell may be used as evidence for hell. That’s how evidence works: it’s evidence of whatever you choose to believe about it. This is known as Matty’s Razor.

We all have exactly the same evidence.
Our choice of paradigm determines what we believe it’s evidence of.
– Matty’s Razor

Jeremiah’s Logic

IF God will cast off the seed of Israel,
1. If heaven above can be measured,
2. the foundations of the earth can be searched out beneath,
BUT God doesn’t cast off the seed of Israel,
THEN:
1. heaven above can’t be measured,
2. the foundations of the earth can’t be searched out beneath,

Math = Faith

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
(Isaiah 8:19-20) KJV

Faith is believing in something that you can’t see. Math requires believing in concepts that you can’t see and relating them to each other in ways that can’t be seen. Math is the language of faith.

Theory is the SciPop Word for Faith

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
(Hebrews 11:3) KJV

We all have exactly the same evidence.
Our choice of paradigm determines what we believe it’s evidence of.
– Matty’s Razor

We show that the words faith and theory are synonyms. Sight and empirical are also synonyms. Empirical evidence is what we see. What we choose to believe about it is our faith.

Gravitational Drag Effect (GDE)

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

It’s not possible to prove that the earth is rotating. Experimental results which have formerly been used as a way to prove that the earth has daily rotation are examples of Gravitational Drag Effect.

They are Without Excuse

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 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 1:18-23) KJV

Creationists make the error of thinking that the science vs. faith debate is centered around evolution. This is an error for 2 reasons:

science requires faith,
the process of evolution fits into the Biblical young-earth narrative.

Science Falsely So Called

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
( 1 Timothy 6:20-21 ) KJV

We have identified 5 leaps of faith in the theoretical foundation of popular science (SciPop). The scientific community considers these to be axioms but they are assumptions based on circumstantial evidence.

A Chosen Vessel

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
(Acts 9:10-22) KJV

Part 1.

A Chosen Vessel – Part 1

We can be in doubt and wondering about the way forward in God’s will. For some of us it feels like a maze. Our passage is an example of what it’s like when God answers prayer in a decisive way.
