The First Heaven

blue sky with clouds and rainbow

Part of the space between the firmament and Earth is the area in contact with the Earth that we call the atmosphere, or sky. This is where the birds fly. It's referred to as the open firmament.

Hypothesis 31

The core accretion model (Hypothesis 1) may be expanded to include the formation of a second series of strata which became the firmament, a sphere of rigid crystal on the edge of space.

Planet earth on the second day as concentric layers of sediment around a gravitational singularity

We have a Biblical basis for the core accretion model and the origin and timing of Precambrian fossils which were deposited synchronously with the formation of an Oxygen-rich atmosphere.

Time no Longer

How could there be no night in the new Jerusalem for ever and ever but, at the same time, day and night in the lake of fire for ever and ever? Physics and our unified theory of everything resolve this perfectly.

Inductive Reasoning

Logic, no matter how rigorous, breaks down when we're speculating about the origin of the universe from the starting point of having rejected the truth: God revealed testimony about our origin.

Deductive Reasoning

It's not a good idea to pull Bible passages out of context because we've decided what we want them to mean and then proclaim that we have some new doctrine. That's inductive reasoning, or eisegesis.
