Rubies and Sapphires

If there are football field-sized and larger pieces of ruby and sapphire in the Kuiper belt (crystalline firmament material), then we should see light spectra consistent with ruby and sapphire.

Evidence for Synonymy

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)

We're making a bold claim that stars aren't distant suns and galaxies. That's Galileo's bluff. The stars are fragments, and swirls of fragments, of reflective rock in the Kuiper and asteroid Belts.

Faith = Evidence

You don't need to have faith in something if you can see it. Faith is needed when we can't see. However, that has nothing to do with evidence. As such, faith is believing in what you can't see because of evidence.

Evidence

One of the best examples of how evidence is used incorrectly in the popular science paradigm (SciPop) is the worldwide distribution of sedimentary deposits and the evidence of Noah's flood.

Primary or Secondary?

Hitchens's razor is based on assuming that secondary sources of evidence, vetted and approved by Peer Review to be compliant with the popular science paradigm (SciPop), are primary sources of evidence.

Epistemological Abuse

Hitchens's razor isn't a philosophical tenet which regulates the use of evidence, it's proof of a failure to understand what evidence is and how it's used. We all have exactly the same evidence.

The Stratigraphic Column

One of the pillars of the popular science paradigm (SciPop) is the acceptance of sleight-of-hand and smoke-and-mirrors in place of science. Pithy memes, false definitions have become its propaganda.

Hypothesis 16

IF it may be shown that the Bible can account for ALL physical evidence and empirical observations, THEN the truth about God is self-evident, THEREFORE no one has an excuse.
