Time Dilation

Diagram showing how gravitational time dilation can account for observed redshift

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

(2 Peter 3:8) KJV

Albert Einstein predicted relativistic time dilation: the faster we go the slower time passes. At the speeds that humans travel it’s inconsequential. It’s a diversion away from the more significant gravitational time dilation.

Agree to Disagree

He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

(Judges 5:25) KJV

Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

(Judges 4:21) NKJV

What is submission? Is it pretending that there’s nothing wrong while you’re being abused? No. No one should tolerate that. Submission is simply agreeing instead of arguing. If your husband is an abuser you only have to agree with him for as long as it takes to call social services and get away.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

(Matthew 13:7) KJV

I went to BEZA International Church expecting a blessing. My ears tingled as I strained to hear every word: God was going to tell me what to do. This is what I heard: There is a book in you that only YOU can write!

Matty’s Paradox

  • IF 1,000 years has passed for each day on earth since the 2nd day,
    • AND the earth is about 6,000 years old.
  • THEN a minimum of 2.19 billion years has passed at the radial distance of the firmament, the remote regions of the cosmos, in the same period of time.

It’s part of a theory of gravity which is at the heart of God’s plan of redemption. Here’s a brief summary of what we can do with it.

Matty’s Paradigm, Harmonization

  1. The broad narrative of scripture:
    • separation of light from darkness,
    • redemption, propitiation and salvation,
    • fulfillment of prophecy.
  2. Empirical observation:
    • earth is the center of the observable universe.
  3. History:
    • earth is about 6,000 years old.
  4. Science:
    • a source of Hydrogen for nucleosynthesis,
    • origin of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR),
    • a mathematical solution for black holes and dark matter,
    • the sun is less massive than the earth,
    • the remote regions of the cosmos are at minimum 2.19 billion years old,
    • the cosmos may be more than 13.8 billion years old,
    • stars will fall to earth.

Scholium I – 1687

Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

(Acts 26:22-23) KJV

Newton didn’t make any great discoveries, he called his bold guesses great discoveries and bluffed well enough to get away with it. His Principia Mathematica boldly charges forth based on four incorrect guesses.

No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.

– Sir Isaac Newton
