Newton versus Biblical Physics
Newton's book Mathematical Principles of Natural
Philosophy had enormous influence. The first
chapter is titled Definitions.
"The quantity of matter is the measure of the same." "The
quantity of motion is the measure of the same." Newton was not
referring to the common way of
measuring things. "I do not
define
time, space, place and motion, as being well known to all.
Only I must observe, that the common people conceive those qualities
under no other notions but
from the relation they bear to sensible objects. And thence arise
certain prejudices, for the
removing of which it will be convenient to distinguish them into
absolute and relative, true and
apparent, mathematical and common." Common folk measured things
relatively, by comparing
real objects to other sensible objects, such as crowing roosters to the
dawn.
Newton's most innovative definition was: "Absolute, true, and mathematical time, of
itself, and from
its own nature, flows equably without relation to anything external."
His version of time is unaffected by
material things, relative to nothing but itself. It exists in the
symbolical world of mathematics.
His absolute space is also unrelated to physical things and refers to
geometrical
spaces. He admitted that matter's external appearances may change,
however, "the
places of equal solids are
always equal." Newton's concept of
invariant
time was grounded upon the idea that the properties of matter are not
emergent, that matter is not always changing itself. This assumption is
the basic presumption used by his laws of
motion.
Three
hundred years later, Newton's laws of motion are found in all physics
books. His linear time
is now
the prejudice of common
folk. It is now the independent variable in most
mathematical
equations. The
best clocks in Newton's day used pendulums. Today scientists use atomic clocks for
calibrating most units such as length, velocity, gravity and
mathematical laws. Everyone apparently has faith that atomic clocks are
perpetual motion machines,
even though no ancient
galaxy shines with perpetual motion atoms.
Biblical physics is based
on the simple words of the Bible.
Its foundational principle is that the
creation is in bondage to phthora, fundamental change. It uses
no
complex ways of measuring or
difficult mathematics. We verify biblical physics, not with
symbolical spaces and absolute
time, but with real, sensible objects. The universe is so vast, and the
voids between galaxy
clusters are so opaque, that we see the history of
the universe optically, all the
way back to the
creation age. We see cosmic history like millions of separate
frames in a
movie
film; each frame showing how
galaxies looked at some ancient era.

The above image is a few frames in the visible history of the
cosmos, all of which are from the Hubble Deep North. As a jpeg, these
objects are not as sharp as they appear with other
video resolutions.
The first frame is a galaxy chain, #215 in the Hubble Deep North.
Notice that that it looks like three equally spaced beads on a
necklace. If objects really are equally spaced and they
are far away, they will always have equal angular separations, no
matter from which direction we view them. The
atoms in these galaxies emitted light that was approximately twice the
wavelength of local atoms.
The next is #909. Notice that the central clump of stars has two
beaded appendages above and below it. The atoms in this ancient galaxy
emitted light that was 3.4 times the wavelength of modern atoms.
The next is #593 is two primordial galaxies. The lower one a blue
clump of stars on each end. The upper one has a string of star beads
that seem
to overlap the lower galaxy. Notice again the equal spacing, like links
on a chain. These ancient atoms emitted light with a wavelength that
was 2.7 times the wavelength of local atoms.
The next is #472. Here we see that equally spaced beads of
stars have bent around the nucleus. The light from this early spiral
galaxy has 2.1 times the wavelength of similar local atoms.
In the last frame, #225, we see a galaxy with a more developed, yet
still beaded
appendage. The beads of star clusters have rotated around almost one
full turn around the nucleus. This galaxy shines at 1.3 times the
wavelength of similar local atoms.
We see the
history of the universe frame by frame, billions of frames. We
see sensible things, real
objects. All
primordial galaxies clocked
light frequencies that
were minuscule ratios of those emitted by modern atoms. No
ancient orbits or atomic clocks
follow
Newton's absolute time, gravity
or clock-like orbits. How can we know that the orbits are
not clock-like? We see at many
ranges how the the stars accelerate outward
as
billions of galaxies grew into
huge growth spirals. At many ranges,
we observe that atomic clocks
accelerate along with
accelerating orbits - as galaxies grew. Galaxies cannot grow from tiny,
naked, objects packed
densely with stars into huge growth spirals unless the properties of
matter are always changing.
What we see fits the Hebrew
words describing how God continually spreads out the heavens. Carefully
examine the
raqiya, the pounded out spreading
out heavens. It is the one place where knowledge of God's great glory
is
available to all. He created
trillions of galaxies that visibly show cosmic history. We
see how the galaxies formed, just like the Hebrew verbs in the Bible
declare about how God spreads out the heavens.
Biblical physics allows one
to accept
what is visible as true, to
regard visible cosmic history
as rational. We see with sight that every bit of matter is following
biblical physics. We see how the galaxies grew - in violation of the
scientific laws. Look at the heavens and marvel at the wisdom of a
Creator
who even defeats the
wisdom of this world (science) for His great glory. How utterly and
completely the Bible vanquishes Western science, the
structured way of reasoning built on a single idea from a pagan Greek.
Look at the heavens see His glory.
