If our souls start in hell then this life is our one chance to escape it forever. We have been given an opportunity to respond to the truth which has been revealed to us. No one has an excuse.
Ascending and Descending
The Lowest Parts of the Earth
The lowest parts of the Earth is one of the many ways in which the Bible refers to the core of the Earth.
Deducing the Escape
In simple and clinical terms the only way for God to be justified in sending us to hell is if we were in hell to begin with. That may be rather jarring but it's quite logical. It's Hypothesis 27.
Above and Below
A recurring theme in scripture is heaven above and Earth below. Orientation occurs for the first time on the second day. It's an ordering of the universe which occurred in response to the creation of gravity.
Spherical Earth Deduction
We have a way to account for physical evidence, the banded iron formations and enigmatic Precambrian fossils, in a way that's strikingly similar to the narrative induced by popular science (SciPop).
What does Soul Refer to?
The word soul occurs 458 times in the KJV. The majority of these references are clearly references to the person as an individual. It's as if the word soul could be used interchangeably with any personal pronoun.
One Life to Live
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.
Gravity Deductive Question 1
We have made extensive use of deductive reasoning. Another tool we employ is deductive questioning. This is how we can investigate, among other things, the nature of the soul.
The gravitational wave detector at LIGO has been online for a while but the first ever recorded detection of a gravitational wave was in September 2015. According to AST logic, they didn't exist before that.
The Story So Far
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.
