Sir Isaac Knew Tons

Quantities aren't really quantities, even if we give them names. Words define the thing, even though the thing may be unknown.

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

(2 Peter 3:16) KJV

Sir Isaac Newton was fully aware that we could use words to define phenomena which were in fact unknown. Words are defined by what we use them for. It’s a sublimely subtle form of induction.

The Role of Synonymy

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) KJV

Synonymy has primary and secondary roles. The primary is to make it seem as if the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy is impossible. In which case, if the Bible is the inerrant word of an omnipotent God, it’s a fraud.

Rolled Together as a Scroll

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

(Isaiah 34:4) KJV

Is the phrase “the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll” flowery poetic language or accurate physics? If the firmament is a rigid sphere of crystal on the edge of space, it’s accurate physics.

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.

Heavenly Bodies and Entities

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

(Isaiah 55:9) KJV

Heavenly entities are sentient beings. Nehemiah tells us that they’re worshiping the LORD. Who are we to say they aren’t? If entities are gravitationally bound, then this is the distinction between entities and bodies.

If it Looks Like a Galaxy…

The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

(Obadiah 1:3-4) KJV

Astronomy is an induced rationalization of the premise that swirls of minute specks are galaxies, and the word “galaxy” has been defined to meet the requirements of THE NARRATIVE of mainstream science (SciPop).
