It's important that any theory we propose has to be congruent with the broad narrative of scripture. However, by using deductive reasoning, we superimpose onto this a broad narrative of physics.
The Broad Narrative of Physics
The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything
This life is our opportunity to experience sentient life. God is the source of this life and he's made this obvious. However, he's not going to make us believe a certain way. We're free to believe whatever we want about life.
The Reason for Creation
God's ultimate goal is a place which is perpetually light, where there's no impurity or corruption, and where he has fellowship with sentient beings. But he isn't going to make anyone be there unless they want to be there.It's very helpful to know that the universe has a purpose because it helps us to understand the broad narrative. It's also useful to know that there's a reason for this purpose because it shows us the big picture.
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.
The Broad Narrative of Scripture
The Bible is consistent throughout because it combines spiritual concepts, like good and evil, with their physical expression in space and time as light and darkness. It describes their permanent physical separation.
Who is the Sun?
The sun goest forth in his might? The song of Deborah speaks of the sun as if he's a person, a sentient being. Who are we to say he isn't?
Rejoicing to Run a Race
The new heaven and new Earth spoken of in the Revelation are filled with the light of the glory of God. There'll be no day or night, no need of the sun or moon. So what's going to happen to the sun and moon?
December 4th
Life is temporary. What comes next? God's given us a description of what comes next and the choice of whether or not to believe it. We acknowledge belief in God's testimony by accepting Jesus Christ as our savior.
