A sheep in wolf's clothing.
When the sun rises, they gather together And lie down in their dens.
(Psalms 104:22) NKJV
The current generation of Trekkie scientists assume that you can measure the mass of the sun from a deep space probe. That’s what popular science (SciPop) is now, an inductive rationalization of the Star Trek universe.

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV
One of our favorite books is “A Brief History of Time,” by Stephen Hawking. In this and his other books Hawking expands use of the scientific method as an inductive tool. He opened up the realm of plausibility. In so doing he redefined the term “scientific knowledge.”

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
(Psalms 104:5) KJV
The preferred spatial direction of the weak nuclear force is evidence for an absolute frame of reference within the broad narrative of scripture, and is compatible with our unified theory of everything.

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
(Genesis 1:16) KJV
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
(Job 28:23-25) KJV
If you want to believe that earth is flat no one’s going to stop you. However nothing in the Bible, either in the meaning of words or in the context of passages, requires you to believe that earth is flat and has an edge.
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
(Proverbs 17:24) KJV
The proverb above has a familiar ring to it. How about this for comparison?
All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was… what he was doing.
– Master Yoda
This isn’t talking about the edge of a flat earth, it’s talking about someone who lets his or her mind wander off into… the Star Trek universe of SciPop.
I looked at the dome over the heads of the living creatures and above them was something that seemed to be a throne made of sapphire.
(Ezekiel 10:1) Good News Translation
The Hebrew word translated as “dome” is raqia. A simple definition is “expanse” so most translations render the meaning as “the expanse of the sky.”

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.
Continue reading “October 30th”No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.
– Sir Isaac Newton
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
(Matthew 19:17) KJV
We’re going to answer the charge that “a good God and hell can’t coexist.” Hell is a ball of molten radioactive slag at the center of the Earth, it’s nothing personal.

For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
(Romans 8:24-25) NKJV
The second axiom of popular science (SciPop) is Earth orbits the sun. It’s embodied in Copernicus’ 7 assumptions. It’s wishful thinking, just instructions how to imagine the universe from a frame of reference other than the Earth.

And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
(Revelation 21:19-20) KJV
We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) have been reviewing the development of Physics in the 20th Century. We got to the conundrum of what’s stopping the universe from collapsing under the force of its own gravity.
