Before you choke with indignation about our stupidity because we're apparently unaware that there are photographs of a black hole, let's bring up the issue of epistemology. What is knowledge?
You Can’t Believe We’re THAT Stupid!
Black Holes and Dark Matter
All current cosmological models show that somewhere between %80-85 of the mass of the universe is missing. Based on our understanding of particle physics we can move this number up to %90. Where is it?
Biblical Cosmology
Based on our first Principle, God Can't Lie and the Bible is True, it must be possible to use the Bible to deduce an accurate model of the cosmos. We're not talking about the Star Trek universe of the popular science paradigm (SciPop).
Bible Versions
Different Bible versions, by which we mean English translations, differ broadly in how they render the original languages. A lot of people use this as an excuse to discount the Bible as being inaccurate and unreliable.
The Creation of Gravity
In a similar manner to that in which God said: Let there be light, the light was a reaction to nuclear fusion; when God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, it was a reaction to the creation of of gravity.
Principle I Summary
The Bible contains the conditions necessary for nucleosynthesis and the creation of gravity in a way that predicts gravitational time dilation. These are things that Bronze Age goat herders couldn't possibly have known.
Current Biodiversity is the Result of Evolution
Axiom V is "Current Biodiversity is the Result of Evolution." We can deduce Principle I from the following physical evidence, empirical observations or established theories which are part of Axiom V.
The Internal Structure of Earth and Size of the Cosmos is Unknowable
Axiom IV is "The Internal Structure of Earth and Size of the Cosmos is Unknowable." We can deduce Principle I from the following physical evidence, empirical observations or established theories which are part of Axiom IV.
Earth is the Center of the Observable Universe
Axiom III is "Earth is the Center of the Observable Universe." We can deduce Principle I from the following physical evidence, empirical observations or established theories which are part of Axiom III.
Gravity is a Field Emitted from the Center of the Earth
Axiom II is "Gravity is a Field Emitted from the Center of the Earth." We can deduce Principle I from the following physical evidence, empirical observations or established theories which are part of Axiom II.
