The distance to the firmament (heaven), from the center of the Earth, is approx. 1,736,441 light years. But we (that's me and the Holy spirit) would appreciate it if someone would check our math.
The Distance to the Firmament
Gravitational Time Dilation Data Points
The first data point we have for Gravitational Time Dilation is the one from GPS satellites. After that we have to be fairly creative.
Gravitational Lensing
We observe the gravity of the sun causing light from stars to bend. It's called gravitational lensing. This shows that light has properties of both waves and particles, but everything is energy when it comes right down to it.
Scientific Sleight-of-hand
Everyone thinks that the theory of relativity has been proven. The thing is, the proof exists in a paradigm which is an inductive rationalization it's premise. It's scientific sleight-of-hand.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Einstein built on Newton's work, he didn't replace it or make it obsolete although that's what atheist science trolls (ASTs), scientifically illiterate science worshipers (SISWs) and SciPop devotees believe.
The Failed Science Narrative of godless Existence
For centuries the scientific mainstream has been building a narrative of godless existence (SciPop). The purpose of SciPop is to account for human existence in a way that requires no supernatural cause.
The Strong Delusion is Faltering
The truth about God is self evident but, because we have free will, God has provided a plausible alternative so that people can make what seems to be a rational choice about their relationship with God.
The Voice of One
Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Perhaps the spirit of Elijah is here, in which case, this is another sign of the times.
Elijah
Christianity has been absently meandering alongside the wide road to destruction as an accomplice to popular science (SciPop) for generations. So why are we trying to wake these people up? Why now?
Riding the Heavens
The idea that God or his agents may physically visit the Earth by riding on a piece of heaven may seem ridiculous. However it appears that a section of firmament is used like an elevator to travel between heaven and Earth.
