A River that Could not be Passed Over

Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ancles. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
(Ezekiel 47:1-5) KJV

So here we have it, the description of a stream of water that issues from under the threshold of the temple in Jerusalem that widens and deepens to become a river too big to swim across.

The Center of Gravity

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
(Genesis 1:6-8) KJV

When the Lord said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters… he established the position of the heavens. Considering the passage: when he set a compass on the face of the depth: it’s completely logical to understand the heavens as a circle, or sphere, which has a fixed distance, or radius, from the center.

Divide the Waters from the Waters

a drawing compass and the creation of gravity on the second day

This post is part of the series Gravity

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
( Genesis 1:6-8 )

Dividing the waters above from the waters below requires at least two things to happen, as we will see. Above what? is a good question, since there was only a formless mass at this time. Whatever was to divide the waters has to be constructed in the process of dividing them because there was nothing there to do it before. God made a firmament in the midst of the waters, and there is something both under it and above it. The concept of under and above tells us that there is now an up and a down, so an ordering has already taken place, at the beginning of the process of dividing the waters.

The Cursed Earth

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; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
(Genesis 3:17-19) KJV

It seems that some people are confused by the concepts of original sin and the cursed Earth, because they interpret the passage about Noah after the flood as God removing the curse of original sin.

Noah’s Math

And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered. The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
(Genesis 7:19-20) NKJV

This post is a response to, and a rebuttal of: How much water would be needed for Noah’s Flood? by Andrew L. Seidel. He posted the link in a Twitter thread discussing our post do I still need to ask for forgiveness?

Nuclear Decay was Initially Rapid

Creation Theory Predictive Testable Hypothesis 10

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
(Isaiah 14:9) KJV

One of the main pillars in the theoretical foundation of the popular science (SciPop) is the decay constant. This is an assumption which is at the very heart of the experimental procedure that is used to get “dates,” from rocks that appear to support the SciPop narrative that the earth is billions of years old.

It’s impossible to prove that radioisotopes have decayed at a constant rate throughout history, since the ability to detect and measure radioactive decay is only about 120 years old. We have no data from before that time. This means that the hypothesis that nuclear decay has always been constant is untestable, therefore it’s unscientific.

The Written Word

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
(John 1:14) KJV

When we consider the events of the first day, up to and including the development of cellular life with replicating DNA, it’s not too far fetched to propose that the Word of God was encoded on that day. What better way to accomplish this than to actually have the Word of God be encoded as information in DNA.

Photosynthesis

The next steps are to build these highly complex molecular structures into systems like: chloroplasts, where photosynthesis takes place for changing light into chemical potential energy; mitochondria, for generating chemical potential energy from food; and the sophisticated DNA – RNA system for storing and replicating inheritable information.

Organic Chemistry: Ethane

Organic Chemistry.

It doesn’t take long smashing Hydrogen atoms together to make all of the elements of the Periodic Table. There is one particular element, Carbon, that has a remarkable chemistry. So much so that the chemistry of Carbon is a separate field of study: Organic Chemistry. Shown here is the molecule Ethane, as Chemical symbols.

Building Complexity

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
(Hebrews 9:23) KJV

Here’s another example showing how, theoretically, atomic nuclei can be built by fusing Hydrogen atoms.

This comes directly from mainstream science and it isn’t some kooky religious mumbo-jumbo. It’s worth noting that the popular science (SciPop) paradigm requires conditions for the early stages of the universe (the Big Bang) that are met in the testimony of scripture.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Genesis 1:1-2) KJV

The only thing necessary for the “scientific” explanation of nucleosynthesis is a source of hydrogen atoms, and this comes from the molecules of the deep.
