The Beginning of the Earth

Planet earth on the second day as concentric layers of sediment around a gravitational singularity

And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.

(Judges 15:15-16) KJV

In order to use seismological data to learn about the structure of the Earth we have to understand the formation of the Earth. In particular the creative act of the second day: the creation of gravity.

Tehom was Wet. Sheol is Dry

and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.

And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’

(Luke 16:23, 26) English Standard Version

The space in the interior of the Earth formerly occupied by the great deep is now a great gulf (chasm) of open space that Jesus spoke of in Luke 16:26. The open space is no longer referred to as tehom, it’s now sheol.

Avoid Foolish Disputes

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.

(Titus 3:8-9) NKJV

There’s a lot of contention among Christians. We think that our take on a doctrine is right, and anyone who doesn’t agree is wrong. It spills out into social media and it makes us all look bad.

Based on Gravitational Interaction

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

Having a value for Earth’s average density is critical to the popular science (SciPop) model for its internal structure because we can’t see inside the Earth, we can only infer what we think it’s structure may be.

Biblical Gravitation and the Cause of Noah’s Flood

But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’

(Luke 16:25-26) NKJV

A problem in creationism is: what caused the breakup of Pangaea and the formation of tectonic plates? Was it the waters of Noah’s flood or an extra-terrestrial impact? We say neither.

The World’s Oldest Fossils

And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

(2 Timothy 2:24-26) ESV

In the Biblical narrative of Matty’s Paradigm, at the time when gravity was created, super-sized bacteria existed in an iron-rich aquatic environment before an Oxygen-rich atmosphere formed.
