300 Foxes and a Donkey's Jawbone
The most massive black hole collision ever detected has been directly observed by the LIGO and VIRGO Scientific Collaboration, which includes scientists from The Australian National University (ANU).
We still don’t understand a lot of things about black holes, which hover at the very edge of our scientific knowledge.
GW190521 is a gravitational wave detection from May 21, 2019 which was so unusual that scientists had to spin it as a mammoth collision of impossible black holes.
The windows of heaven are described in scripture as physical structures which may be opened or closed. This is possible because the firmament is a sphere of rigid crystal on the edge of space.
The question is, in what way is gravity maintaining the universe and how? In the SciPop paradigm gravity is broadly defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
One of our favorite books is "A Brief History of Time," by Stephen Hawking. In this and his other books Hawking expands use of the scientific method as an inductive tool. He opened up the realm of plausibility.
Adam and Eve were created to populate the earth with their offspring, until there was a body for each soul that God had created. This is why God is longsuffering: every soul has not been given a body yet.
Even though we have been diligent to account for all physical evidence and empirical observations as we built our doctrine of the soul, and even though we account for all of the laws of physics, it's not enough. We need a predictive testable hypothesis for this to be truly scientific.
Is the phrase "the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll" flowery poetic language or accurate physics? If the firmament is a rigid sphere of crystal on the edge of space, it's accurate physics.
We use multiple lines of investigation including scripture, empirical observations, theoretical models, and physical evidence to deduce the presence of a sphere of crystal on the edge of space.
