Gravity as a Process

He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

Miners explore the deepest darkness.
They search the depths of the earth And dig for rocks in the darkness.

He Defended It

And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines. But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.

Then God commanded, “Let there be a dome to divide the water and to keep it in two separate places”—and it was done. So God made a dome, and it separated the water under it from the water above it.

(Genesis 1:7) Good News Translation

They purposely ignore the fact that long ago God gave a command, and the heavens and earth were created. The earth was formed out of water and by water,

(2 Peter 3:5) Good News Translation

SaveThe core accretion model is an example of a self-evident truth. It’s obvious that the Earth formed as sediment accumulated around the core. Now we have a theory of gravitation derived from scripture.
