There was a time when we stopped using the phrase cluelessness event horizon because we thought that it was needlessly judgmental. Sadly, it serves such an essential function that it's here to stay.
Established Science
The Mass of the Sun
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.
The SciPop Math Defense
As simple and convenient the young Earth creation (YEC) variable rate of nuclear decay response to radiometric dating may be, it's also an Achilles Heel.
How Deep was Noah’s Flood?
There was enough water in the great deep to flood the Earth 1,200 km deep. 15 cubits was when the crew of the ark stopped taking soundings. Mount Everest formed 101 years AFTER Noah's flood during Peleg's tectonics.
The Volume of the Great Deep
When Noah's flood took place all of the waters of the great deep burst forth and flooded the Earth. If we know the volume of water and the radius of the Earth at this time, then we may calculate how deep the water was.
The Pillars of the Earth and it’s Original Radius
There are some clues for us to be able to figure out the Earth's former size. This comes from the pillars of the Earth which are part of its internal structure.
The Volume of Earth’s Mantle
It's very useful to know the volume of material in the Earth's crust and mantle, but before we move on it's also worthwhile to note that the Earth's crust and mantle have several Biblical synonyms.
Present Day Earth
With a few pieces of information we can take what we know about the Earth today and deduce what the Earth was like in the past. This is the alternative to using Uniformitarianism to assume that things were the same in the past.
The Mathematics of Hell
Everyone believes math because it's, well, math. Math doesn't lie, supposedly. Math may not lie but it can be used to tell a lie if that's what you decide to use it for. Math is a tool, not a guide.
Time Dilation Math
We can calculate a distance to the firmament with the question: If GPS clocks are faster by 38,640 ns per day at an orbital radius of 26,541 km, what's the orbital radius when the clocks are faster by 1,000 years?
