A sheep in wolf's clothing.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
(Romans 8:2) KJV
As we continue down our rabbit hole into the confluence of gravitation and redemption it’s going to be helpful to think in terms of gravity, weight and weightlessness. The word redeem has some meaning to this effect.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
(Romans 1:28) KJV
It’s a case of, “be careful what you wish for.” When the core of the Earth melted due to the intense pressure of gravity within atoms and the heat generated from their spontaneous decay, it provided a perfect environment for the storage of rebellious angels.

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(Genesis 2:17) KJV
Why was there a tree of knowledge of good and evil if God had created a perfect world? God didn’t create a perfect world, he created a corrupted one. Now we can understand the difference between corruption and sin.

Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.
(Romans 5:18) NKJV
Man, Adam, bore the ultimate responsibility for what happened in the garden of Eden because he was the one who had been told not to eat the forbidden fruit. We’ve used deductive reasoning and the curses that were placed on the woman to conclude that she had been given to him to inspire and motivate him to carry out the Lord’s will.

But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to—if, in fact, God’s Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ lives in you, the Spirit is life for you because you have been put right with God, even though your bodies are going to die because of sin. If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you, then he who raised Christ from death will also give life to your mortal bodies by the presence of his Spirit in you.
(Romans 8:9-11) Good News Translation
Christians have been making fools of themselves, tilting at windmills and bringing Christianity into ill repute on social media, but the extensively documented process of genetic change over time that we call evolution has a Biblical context.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
(Romans 8:5) NKJV
We previously developed the rationale that spiritual messengers, referred to sometimes as angels, are a combination of spirit (vapor) and soul (gravity). This was described in the post Holograms, Relativity and the Soul.

For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them
(Romans 2:14-15) ESV
The Bible tells us that the truth about God has been made known to us all. It also tells us that the moral law of God has been written on our hearts. When we consider the events of the first day, up to and including the development of cellular life with replicating DNA, it’s not too far fetched to propose that the word of God was encoded on that day.

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
(Romans 1:20) ESV
The beauty of nature is proof of God. We know right from wrong. Disbelief is active, not passive, it’s not the default state. Popular science (SciPop) is an attempt to account for human existence in such a way that it appears God isn’t necessary.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
(Romans 1:18-19) ESV
Our conscience is why we experience guilt. We don’t have to be told when we’ve done something wrong: we know. We may act like it doesn’t matter but we still know that we did something wrong because of guilt.
