Why some science articles are
incomprehensible
About 70 percent of Americans cannot understand certain kinds
of articles published in the New
York Times Science Section. Readers usually understand stories
supported by visible, local
evidence. For example, Grand Banks cod fish are fewer and smaller than
fifty years ago.
However, scientific stores about beginnings are unlike the common sense
world of experience. It
is not the sentence structure or vocabulary that makes these articles
incomprehensible, since they
are written for high-school level readers. It is the bizarre and
surreal nature of the stories that
makes them obscure. No one has ever seen any evidence for spontaneous
generation of life or a
universe that formed itself from a vacuum.
It is not easy to understand how or why a tiny bit of vacuum exploded
and created everything out
of nothing. It is utterly absurd to postulate a universe that is 99%
invisible, filled with invisible
matter and numerous vacuous processes. Scientists explain that the
universe is wildly expanding
because an expanding vacuum fills the whole universe. Allegedly this
expanding vacuum is
increasing the distance between galaxies, even while they are standing
still. Try real hard to
visualize that! Supposedly all light passing through the void has its
frequencies adjusted, the
more vacuums it passes through, the more the light is stretched. No one
has ever detected
vacuums changing light frequencies, propelling objects or becoming more
energetic by pulling
more "energy" out of the vacuum. When
they propose that this magical
universe organizes itself
into complex reproducing life - it exceeds credibility. These ad-hoc
stories are not only absurd,
they are a sure sign that something fundamental is amiss.
The reason scientists contrive incomprehensible myths is because they
have a dogma. What is the
scientific dogma? The Bible predicted that in the last days
false
teachers will come saying "panta
outos diamenei" all things remain the same in being. The next verse
explains how these false
teachers will obfuscate (Greek lanthano) the starry heavens "ouranoi
esan ekpalai." This idea,
that the properties of matter are fixed, was invented by a pagan Greek.
The idea did not become
dogma during the classical age. It took the writings from friar Aquinas
to convince the popes to
authorize Aristotle metaphysics in Western universities. Over the
centuries, scientists invented
operationally defined symbols, measuring units and mathematical
'constants', all of which
presuppose that the properties of matter are fixed. Their system
self-authenticates locally.
However, their laws do not work in the distant universe, which is why
they must mythologize.
Biblical physics is so simple that a
child can understand it since it
uses no mathematical
symbols or precision measuring units. Biblical physics has only one
law: the creation was long
ago subjected to phthora. The Greek philosophers used the word
phthora
for when things that 'are' change their properties so that they 'are
not'
- due to matter itself is
changing. The Bible uses present, active, indicative verbs to describe
these together-processes.
The together Greek words suggest relational changes, since relational
change is when things
change in parallel. The present tense in Greek is durative, continuous
present processes. Biblical
physics simply accepts that matter always changes relationally.
Relational changes cannot be
precisely measured since when matter changes, the measuring units and
the mathematics track
with the changing substance. Yet relational changes are visible.
We can see the past, by observing the light that left primordial
galaxies eons ago. We see with
sight that all atomic clocks accelerate throughout cosmic history. How
can we be sure vacuums
did not change the light frequencies? We can see the history of
galaxies, how they formed.
Primordial
galaxies
were naked, tiny and packed with stars, like
beans
in a bag. Then at closer
ranges we observe smaller discrete bean bags coming out of the cores of
countless galaxies. The
little bean bags have equal spacing, like beads on a necklace. Then we
observe at many closer
ranges how these bean bags spread out as they kept accelerating out.
Eventually the arms of
galaxies became continuous flows of gas and stars (the beans) spreading
out,
stretching out, growing into
huge growth spirals. We see that the atomic clocks and the star orbits
keep on accelerating
together as the galaxies grew. This
could only happen if the properties
of matter always change
relationally.
This is the Tadpole galaxy with its long tail begins as a sprial arm
and then acclerates straight out. Notice the little blue cluster of
stars at equal spacing along the arms.
The visible universe fits the Hebrew
descriptive nouns and verbs that
explain the forming of the
heavens and its history. What is visible is the opposite of the
scientific stories about accretion out
of dust. The visible universe denies the scientific laws of physics,
their
measuring units and their mathematical symbols. Scientists are building
huge new telescopes to clearly observe the
formation of galaxies. Will they continue to obfuscate the visible
history of the universe with
absurd stories about invisible things and vacuous processes? If they
continue to multiply more
invisible myths, it will be a sure sign of intellectually dishonesty.
Much is at stake here. If matter
is changing relationally, the entire structure of scientism will go
down in history as the blindest,
most dogmatic system of reasoning and measuring ever invented by the
mind of men.
The Bible predicts that God
will make foolish the wisdom of this age,
that he is taking them with
their own skills. Check to see if you have a hook in your mouth. If you
never question that atoms
are unchanging, perpetual-motion machines, you will lose your war with
God. His foolishness
(His little riddle) is wiser than man's wisdom. He is about to do what
he promised, bring down
the pride of man, their great science. That will bring Him great glory
because you can only come
to him by child-like faith, not through wisdom. Trust Jesus and you
will never be ashamed. Trust
science, the system built on a carefully protected dogma, and you will
find that He can make your
great wisdom into folly. Think about it.
