A sheep in wolf's clothing.
But if you do not—and you will not—then beware the Fire whose fuel is people and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.
The Heifer 2:24
In Matty’s Paradigm there is an hypothesis that the expansion of hell is the cause of global warming.

We tried to read through the Qur’an about 15 years ago. Along the way it occurred to us that our time may be better spent reading the Bible. Now that we have read through the Bible 15 or so times and have been studying it daily for many years we picked up the Qur’an again. It is absolutely fascinating. Which leads us to ponder the question:
We are just beginning to examine the Qur’an from a scientific perspective. Obviously this is a sensitive subject for many people and this is not something that we take lightly.
These are the Principles that the Qur’an must be compatible with:
| Principle | Title | Scripture |
| I | God Can’t Lie and the Bible is True | Titus 1:2 |
| II | The Original Languages Contain the Mind of Christ | Psalms 12:6-7 |
| III | The Deep is an Incarnation of God | Proverbs 3:19 |
| IV | Life Began in Zero-Gravity | 1 John 1:1-2 |
| V | Gravity was Created on the 2nd Day | Isaiah 48:13 |
| VI | The Firmament is on the Edge of Space | Psalms 150:1 |
| VII | Evolution isn’t the Origin of Humanity | Romans 5:12 |
| VIII | Nuclear Decay Rate isn’t Constant | Proverbs 16:11 |
| IX | Gravity is the Law | John 3:16 |
The Qur’an must also support the following major findings:
Either we will deduce that the Qur’an is not compatible with the physics of the universe as revealed in the Holy Bible – in which case it is not Divine in nature, or it will be found to be compatible with the physics of the universe revealed in the Holy Bible – in which case it will be found to be a confirmation of the earlier scriptures, which is what it claims to be.
Are we brave enough to proceed with this investigation given that either outcome is likely to upset a lot of people?

34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) 37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
( Acts 10:34-43 ) KJV
Does this mean that people can come to the Lord without Jesus Christ?
Or does this mean that the name Jesus Christ has been given for these people?
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
( Acts 4:12 ) KJV
Muhammad exploits this nuance in the Qur’an by taking us back to the so-called pure religion of Abraham, and denouncing the worship of any false god – including Jesus.
This is the clarification. Cornelius was seeking some kind of assurance that God knew who he was and that he was saved. Peter comes with the explanation of how to get it.
