300 Foxes and a Donkey's Jawbone
Most religions have a creed, catechisms or a statement of faith. Popular Science (SciPop) is no different. Most of SciPop is theoretical and, since theory is the scientific word for faith, believing in a theory is a leap of faith.
A lot of people seem to think, because they've been told, that science and religion are opposites. The problem goes back to what people believe that science is, because religion, for the most part, is irrelevant.
We (that's me and the Holy spirit) have a lot to say about Failed science (SciPop). That's because it stands in opposition to the truth and we've been called to destroy its theoretical foundation.
Popular science (SciPop) has a theoretical foundation. We refer to it as the SciPop paradigm. You may see it referred to in places as the DPMS (dominant paradigm of modern science).
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).
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.
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.
Axiom I is "The Universe is Made From the Components of Water." We can deduce Principle I from the following physical evidence, empirical observations or established theories which are part of Axiom I.
A doubtful Christian asked us to establish the logical connection between the statements God can't lie and the Bible is true. This is the premise of Matty's Paradigm so we do need to have a solid grasp of it.
Yesterday we looked at definitions of axioms, corollaries and principles. We've diagnosed the five inherent flaws in the theoretical foundation of popular science (SciPop), its supposed axioms.
