Virtual Energy versus Biblical Physics.
No scientist has ever
isolated any energy. We can only
compare energetic processes
that are
inseparable from matter and its relational partner - light. Yet, the
laws of physics
require the actual existence of a rather vague, invisible thing they
call
energy. According to scientists,
the dominant form of energy is dark
energy. It has more influence on
the universe than invisible
dark matter or the tiny bit of visible
matter that
supposedly
exists in the scientific universe. According to scientists, dark energy
resides in the
vacuum of
space, accelerating all galaxies as the vacuum expands. The scientific
universe is 99% invisible.
An invisible cosmos is a virtual
universe, not a real one.
Are the laws of physics
falsifiable? Are scientists allowed to
test the
assumption the laws of physics depend in a way that they could
potentially fail?
The basic structure of science is a wholesale enterprise. You can only
quibble at the retail level, the
trivial level. The historical basis of Western science is Aristotle's
assumption that the properties
of matter are fixed, not emergent. Aristotle insisted that we build all
knowledge on
changelessness, even though none is observed. His idea became the basis
of Western science
through the Catholic scholastics - 700 years ago. Scientists
constructed their methods, measuring
units and formulas on the assumption that matter does not change
relationally as it ages.
The Bible predicts that in the last days false teachers will
come saying, "panta outos diamenei - all
things remain the same in being." All scientists
accept as self-evident that matter
does not change in being, change relationally as it ages. For example,
scientists count 9,192,631,770 microwave pulses from cesium 133 and
call that a second. Even
if atoms are NOT
perpetual motion machines, they would still count 9,192,631,770
pulses
as a second. Are
atomic clocks tracking the pulses from perpetual motion atoms or do
atoms change their pulse
rate as they age? We can directly
compare the clock rates of ancient
atoms with local ones at
many ranges (ages) throughout cosmic history. Not one of the billions
of ancient galaxies shines
with the light of perpetual motion atoms. At all ranges, we see
that
atomic clocks accelerated
throughout cosmic history. (Primordial "seconds" were visibly longer
than modern ones). Yet
scientists construct their versions of earth-history, their
mathematical laws and even their system
of measuring on their notion of immutable matter: perpetual
motion
atoms.
Are the laws of physics falsifiable, wholesale? Are
scientists allowed to test their fundamental
assumption, their presumption that the properties of matter are NOT
emergent? Scientists fill the
universe up with undetectable things to
protect their fundamental
assumption. Yet we see, with sight, the visible history of the
universe. We see how tiny, naked
galaxies packed densely with stars spread out; took up more volume;
grew into huge, dusty
growth spirals as the properties of matter keep on changing. We see in
spiral galaxies that clocks and orbits are both accelerating
together. What we see violates
every law of scientific physics, as well as the scientific concept of
mass, energy and time.
What we see is what the biblical Creator says He Himself
does, His hand at work. Isaiah
42:5 "Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens and
stretched
them out, Who spread out the
earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And
spirit to those who walk in it," In this verse,
the creation
and the spreading of
the earth and the heavens are active
participles, actions that
continue in unbroken continuity. Isaiah 40:26 "Lift up your eyes
on high And see who has
created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He
calls them all by name;
Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power,
Not one of them is
missing." In the imperative, He
commands us to look
at the skies. The verb for
create, in this verse, is complete: He finished the creation long ago.
However, the
action of calling out the stars
and spreading them out, yet none ever go missing, continues in unbroken
continuity. He formed the galaxies, yet they continually spread
out like a tent in the raqiya, the heavenly spreading out place. We see
how
the galaxies formed as He called the stars to come out and spread out.
We see the creation of
galaxies just as one would expect from the literal text of the Bible.
Scientists
are launching
another
space telescope (Herschel) for viewing the history of galaxies.
The visible history of the
universe fits the words of the
Bible, not the invisible scientific cosmos. Here is a picture of
galaxy HST 16309+8230 that shines from deep in the past. This
primordial
galaxy has a pink and blue tadpole tail beginning to arc around its
core. Notice that the tail is made up of equally spaced globular clumps
of stars that are bluer towards the end of the tail. (The colors are
relative - since primordial galaxies shine down in the infrared.) The
earliest
primordial galaxies are naked, without arms or diffuse structure. At
closer ranges we see that the countless galaxies grew as the stars
spread out.
This is an example of such a galaxy as it begins to spread out and
grow, probably into a one armed spiral. In closer ranges, we see that
the arms of spiral galaxies have rotated around more turns as they grew
into huge, dusty, growth
spirals. As the properties of matter
change, the stars accelerate outward, in violation of
the scientific concepts of time, mass and energy.
Carefully
consider biblical physics. Its law is simple: the creation is
in bondage to phthora,
fundamental
change, according to the Apostle Paul. We verify biblical physics
with sight. No ancient galaxy shines with the light of perpetual motion
atoms. We see how the galaxies grew into huge, growth spirals. Biblical
physics allows one to accept the visible
history of the universe
instead of scientific virtual reality. Look and marvel at the wisdom of
the Creator who even
triumphs over science for His great glory.
