The Danger of Peer Review

He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
(Psalms 18:9-12) KJV

Dark matter doesn’t exist. However it’s necessary, in the popular science paradigm (SciPop), because the firmament is the source of gravitational interaction which keeps the universe in its current stable state.

Ages in Chaos

And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
(Isaiah 61:4) KJV

Immanuel Velikovsky wrote “Ages in Chaos” but the ages aren’t in chaos, Earth is about 6,000 years old. Popular science (SciPop) however, can only be chaos. By default.

Immanuel Velikovsky (1895-1979)

Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
(Isaiah 47:13-14) KJV

People will instinctively mock at the mention of Immanuel Velikovsky but, sadly, he was the last halfway decent scholar of our time. He made an objective evaluation of evidence and asked a lot of hard questions.

The Hubble Constant

If one day the sky could be measured
and the foundations of the earth explored,
only then would he reject the people of Israel
because of all they have done.
The Lord has spoken.
(Jeremiah 31:37) Good News Translation

Sir Edwin Hubble was one of the first to suggest that the apparent redshift of stellar objects is caused by the Doppler effect as the universe expands and the stars become further and further away.

Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge
(1 Timothy 6:20) NKJV

Detection of the CMBR is taken to be support for the Big Bang Theory, although using the CMBR in this way only amounts to an inductive rationalization of circumstantial evidence to fit a premise.

Bending the Truth

They have envisioned futility and false divination, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD!’ But the LORD has not sent them; yet they hope that the word may be confirmed.
(Ezekiel 13:6) NKJV

If P-waves (sound waves) travel in straight lines then why are the lines depicting their paths through the interior of the Earth curved in the popular science interpretation of data from seismic waves (SciPop)?

Mantle Collapse

Cutaway Earth with molten hell at the center, after Peleg's tectonics and radial shrinkage

The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, And shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again.
(Isaiah 24:20) NKJV

The expansion of hell is scriptural, it gives us a physical mechanism which drives the major catastrophic upheavals of history and it also accounts for a current phenomenon: global warming.

GW190521

GW190521 is a gravitational wave detection from May 21, 2019 which was so unusual that scientists had to spin it as a mammoth collision of impossible black holes.

Appearance of Modern Man

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned –
(Romans 5:12) NKJV

In the mainstream science narrative of godless existence the human race, Homo sapiens, appears in recent times. Somewhat like a period (.) at the end of billions of years of evolutionary development.

Late Triassic Wildfires

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
(2 Timothy 4:3-4) NKJV

What really matters in the popular science narrative of godless existence (SciPop)? Location, location, location. Were forest fires an extinction event at the end of the Triassic? Or did a few burned trees get fossilized?
