Opinion:Geocentric Universe

I have a theory of the origins of the Universe that needs testing. I'm not a whacko. I'm one of those people who gets a picture from the Lord and doesn't know what to do with it.

Put on your Scientific process hat and read on, wearing the glasses of classical reasoning, abandoning naturalism, and testing the theory for logical congruency, not feasibility.

In a nutshell, the initial assumption is that the word for Firmament only means "sky" and not "sky", "universe" and "heaven".

It takes a leap of faith to do that, but once you do...

Then, reading Gen 1, we conclude that the birds were formed in the same place as the stars.

If we persist, our assumption is then that the stars were not ginormous hot masses in the atmosphere, but just lights like they are written.

Further analysis might lead us to understand that the lights were like the initial "Let there be light" -- a light and a source of light at the same time, like a perpetual motion machine, only for light.

Without producing heat, the bubble shield theory would still stand. If the Greater Light is verbatim a greater light, there'd be no greenhouse effect.

Reading on, we see that the stars and lights governed times. Looking at the verbs ascribed to the stars and comparing to the previous verbs used in Genesis, there's a distinction in the word choice -- the verbs ascribed to the stars are very close to a personification. The stars are not just counting or marking, they are actively governing.

If mass can be produced from light, and time is a product of mass' dispersion/proximity, then the time space continuum ended at the bounds of the earth's atmosphere in this theory. Eternity would then have been about 10 miles above the earth.

When the Flood happened, the bubble shield broke and the lights voyaged into the void, expanding chaotically, creating mass, and expanding the time/space continuum.

Since the fabric of time was violently stretched at this event, there would be evidence of both an instant creation and a big bang.

Also, observing the universe under the assumption that time is constant everywhere would produce inaccurate results, and this might account for the seemingly never-ending pandora's box of questions cosmology has today.

When air rapidly escapes a balloon, the balloon is rarely in the center of the air dispersement. Similarly, the earth would no longer be at the center of the universe or galaxy. But originally (in this theory) it was. And reversing the trajectory of the time-space continuum (if it is possible) would eventually lead back to a geocentric earth.

Extrapolating backwards would most-likely lead us to a set of physics laws which governed the earth before the Flood. These laws would be present now in some form, distorted by the equally-distorted time-space continuum.

It's my hope that those laws would unlock the workings of the universe, especially in terms of the time-space continuum, and allow it's manipulation or navigation (space travel)

I liken this potential discovery to the "rivers in the ocean" written about in the Word which laid dormant for centuries until a faithful soul, led by the Spirit, pursued them and revolutionized commerce.

Thanks for reading.
