The Purpose of Creation
One of the things which allows Matty's Paradigm to be a consistent with the broad narrative of scripture is understanding that creation has a specific purpose. This purpose harmonizes physics with spirituality.

Evolution is Death
We have two natures, carnal and spiritual: the duality of man. It finds its way into everything, including scientific investigation. Evolution is a duality of truth and error. You need to know what's truth, and what's error.
The Wages of Sin is Death
What does it mean that there was no death before sin? There are a couple of issues here: 1) What is life? 2) What is dying?
