Heaven Stretches
One of the most hyperlinked claims in the whole Bible, one that is corroborated again and again is the fact that heaven stretches. Here is a smattering of scriptures that make the point clear:
I made the earth and created man on it. I stretched out the heavens with my own hands, and I give orders to all their armyIsa 45:12
You are wrapped in light as with a garment; you stretch out the heavens like a tent clothPs 104:2
A pronouncement: 'The word of Jehovah concerning Israel,' declares Jehovah, the One who stretched out the heavens, who laid the foundation of the earth, and who formed the spirit of man within himZec 12:1
Job said in reply: 'For a fact I know that this is so. But how can mortal man be in the right in a case with God? ... He spreads out the heavens by himself, and he treads upon the high waves of the seaJob 9:1,2,8
And my personal favourite ...
He is the Maker of the earth by his power, the One who established the productive land by his wisdom and who stretched out the heavens by his understandingJer 10:12
Did you catch that wonderful detail? Jehovah didn't just stretch out the heavens. He did so "by his understanding!" It is by Jehovah's understanding that we have the wonderful feature of a redshifted universe. A universe which tells its own story of how it developed. It is by Jehovah's unmatchable understanding that we have Critical Density at each moment during the stretching of the universe. It is by Jehovah's understanding that the universe was stretched and not exploded. All these fantastic features that Jehovah put into the very DNA of the universe, mean all its light sources are invaluable sources of technical knowledge for mankind. It is from them, that all empirical knowledge we have about the universe has been gained. Jehovah truly made the stars "shine" intelligently "upon the Earth," as only he could. It didn't have to be that way it could have been otherwise. For instance Jehovah could have stretched Space first and then, created a galaxy in the newly stretched region of Space. But then we wouldn't have galactic redshifts. For that we need him to stretch Space, during or after Christ is building the star! Consider this contrast to understand the genius.
Lewis Hamilton and Tom Brady are both apex sportsmen. The best to ever have competed in their respective sports. Brady chose to have children while he played and Hamilton has indicated he will only start a family after he retires from his sport. This means Brady's children had the gift of witnessing his career, whereas Hamilton's will not. Of course, if he were to have children Hamilton will be able to show them videos of his career, but that's different from being seeing the events unfold in real time. We as Jehovah's children (Lu 3:38), were created on the sixth creative day - many days after he created the magnificent Cosmos and all the heavenly bodies that fill them. Thus we are in the position of any children Hamilton might have. Yet, yet ... we are experience Jehovah's career of creative activity in real time, just as Brady's children do. How did Jehovah accomplish such an impossible feat. Through his great "understanding!" By stretching the heavens he delayed the arrival of the light shining upon the Earth, so that when we look at the stars we see them as they were many multiple creative days ago! We know - due to Critical Density - that all the stretching occurred on the same day all the stars were created - on Day $. Thus the fact that we can witness the light of redshifted galaxies on Day means, we are witnessing some of the events of DAY FOUR! If that is not GENIUS - I don't know what is! This means Jehovah had to plan and intelligently prioritize the steps of how the heavens would be stretched. This is what we learn in the book of Proverbs:
When he prepared the heavens I was therePr 8:27
As Job said after his discussion with God: "Now I know that you are able to do all things and that nothing you have in mind to do is impossible for you." Christ, himself, who in his prehuman existence witnessed and participated in these wonderful works knew the very same truth:
Looking straight at them Jesus said: 'With men it is impossible, but not so with God, for all things are possible with God.'Mr 10:27
So Heaven stretches - to wonderful effect - and the Inzintian Cosmic Web stretches - to wonderful effect! They have the same Evidence Profile when it comes to stretching also. Your Spidey might be tingling right now, for it seems that the Evidence Profiles of Heaven and the Cosmic Web match - at least on a technical, dynamic level - the Evidence Profile of.... But we are on a roll, let's not get distracted. Let us continue knocking down the "evidence" dominoes in front of us. Next we look at the fact that Invisible Zint has been thoroughly demonstrated by the laws of thermodynamics to be one of two realms in the universe. Can that be true, for the "fine gauze" which Jehovah calls Heaven - the spiritual heavens?
It is ONE of Two Realms in the Universe
He went on to say to them: 'You are from the realms below; I am from the realms above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.'Joh 8:23
And to tie that "above" is "heaven" we have ...
The one who comes from above+ is over all others. The one who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks of things of the earth. The one who comes from heaven is over all othersJoh 3:31
And ...
So it is written: 'The first man Adam became a living person.' The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, what is spiritual is not first. What is physical is first, and afterward what is spiritual. The first man is from the earth and made of dust; the second man is from heaven1Co 15:45-47
Short and simple. No explanations needed. Let us continue with our falling dominoes.
Achieving the Holy Grail: SYNTHESIS
Defining Characteristics
It is now time to summarize everything we have just discussed regarding the Evidence Profiles of the Cosmic Web and the "fine gauze." We have learned that they are both
- ETERNAL:
-
Both Invisible Zint and the Heavens are non-decaying and incorruptible. They both last forever
-
- INVISIBLE:
-
Both Invisible Zint and the Heavens do not interact with the whole spectrum of electromagnetic radiation - including visible light. They are thus invisible.
-
- LEGIONOUS:
-
They are non self-interfering, or legionous. This means they cannot be put in a baryonic container, and that multiple objects made from Invisible Zint/Spiritual Zint can share the same common space, since they do not have the property of "electric repulsion" - like all baryonic matter.
-
- PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINES:
-
Invisible Zint will never disappear - or need to be replenished. The Heavens will never disappear - or need to be replenished
-
- GAUZE-LIKE WEB:
-
Invisible Zint has been discovered in the form of the one-piece structure known as the "scaffolding of the universe" - the Cosmic Web. Heaven is described by its creator as a one-piece structure that acts as the scaffolding of the universe, because it holds the Cosmos together. This tight relationship is accurately described by the Tully-Fisher Relation.
-
- SPAN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE:
-
Lastly, the one-piece gauze-like structure spans the ENTIRE universe! Since these two independently described phenomenon have the same Evidence Profile - they are the SAME STRUCTURE!
-
Another critical part of achieving synthesis between what have been portrayed as two irreconcilable positions is attributing proper names - once we have established the true essence of entities. Names that have meaning and inform the hearer or reader of the true nature of the objects or entities being discussed. Thus we now finally take the opportunity to rename some of the entities we have been referring to as the negative of the entities we are now, more familiar with. Consider the following examples ...
Non-Physical MEANS ...
Uncovering Evidence Profiles allow us to abandon the practice of referring to the properties of Invisible Zint through the lens of baryonic matter. Having learned the true identity of Invisible Zint we can now merely refer to it by its proper name. Thus, the opposite of physical is not non-physical, but spiritual!
The Universal Web IS ...
Heaven. And Invisible Zint is a general description of all things heavenly. We must realize that in Heaven there are many different kinds of entities. There is Jehovah himself, who is different from the angels. The angels in turn are different from the Invisible Zint Jehovah used to create the universe wide property he calls Heaven. There are many other structures: just read any vision found in the Bible that takes place in heaven and see how many different kinds of objects are mentioned. But as many invisible things as there are in heaven, they are all made of Invisible Zint - of one form or another. Thus there is an Inzintian periodic table of elements. This is why there are not one, but two domains, or realms in the universe. The first is the baryonic realm of visible matter called the Cosmos. And ...
The SECOND Realm IS the Spirit Realm
The two realms of the universe are not the Cosmos and the Dark Matter or Inzintian realm, but the Cosmos and the Spirit realm. Everything in the Cosmos, is a product of the Spirit realm. It is a direct consequence of the "pure energy" that comes from the spiritual realm - among other factors that also originate in the spirit realm. Having gone through the evidence with a fine-toothed comb, we can confidently say we have assessed all the information and come to the same informed, critical, reasoned conclusion that the Apostle reached when writing Hebrews:
Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen. ... By faith we perceive that the systems of things were put in order by God’s word, so that what is seen has come into existence from things that are not visibleHeb 11:1,3
And through the process of assessing the evidence by means of the only reliable method that exists - Evidence Profiles - we come to realize that the process we have just undergone is not just good science, but it is also the definition of building "FAITH!" Not only are faith and science, then, not irreconcilable, not only are they completely compatible, but - they are one and the same thing! Reasoning on the evidence IS faith. That's why Albert Einstein said: "The more I study science, the more I believe in God." As such, faith is not a blind gullible belief in the authority of someone, or something. Faith is the patient, studious, deliberate demonstration of Evidence Profiles - and the conclusions they lead to! Thus the term "blind faith" is a self-cancelling oxymoron. There is no such thing! But lastly, the important conclusion that the Apostle Paul reached was that through such reasoning, he was able to: "perceive that the systems of things were put in order by God's word, so that what is seen has come into existence from things that are not visible." Pause to let that sink in! What is Paul actually saying? He is saying there aren't many kinds of faith, there aren't different kinds of faith - there is only ONE FAITH. That's because the evidence can only ever be put together - or, demonstrated - in ONE WAY! The religious concept of multi-faith is a creation of false religion. In truth, faith is not a way of thinking or reasoning. It IS thinking! It IS the act of reasoning. For, there's only ONE way to demonstrate how redshifts work. There's only ONE way for Critical Density to work in a universe that grew over a period of time. There is only ONE way for the "initial conditions" of the universe to have been at zero entropy - the "rather special state." There's only ONE way in which the evidence fits together, or, more importantly - can fit together. Anyone who goes through the "evident demonstration" (the footnote in the NWT with References also renders the phrase as "convincing evidence") will always, only, ever reach ONE conclusion. This is because the evidence is convincing. Convincing of what - differing conclusions? No. In that case the evidence would not be convincing. But that is not how reality works. In real life, the evidence always converges to one firm conclusion - the truth!
As it relates to the origin of the Cosmos, Paul having considered the Evidence Profiles available to him, reached a firm conclusion. And ... it is the very same conclusion that we reached earlier: Everything in the visible Cosmos - from objects to the energy that is inherent in all objects, to the energy that is need to run baryonic systems stems from the critically important, invisible second realm of the universe - THE SPIRITUAL REALM. And remember, we reached the same conclusion as Paul using completely different evidence! We used evidence Paul did not have access to since the empirical experiment derived data has only been established in the last 100 or so years. How is that possible? Because all the evidence is on the same side. Reality is not like an argument, where both sides can have good points, leading to deadlock. Reality is one-sided. All the evidence is always on one side. That is why the founding fathers of Science were so bold in experimenting and searching for truth. They never feared that their scientific accomplishments would invalidate the Bible. They knew that all scientific discoveries would align with the Bible - once it was "properly understood" as Galileo put it. That is also what he meant when he said,
Both the Holy Scriptures and nature proceed from the Divine Word. ... Two truths can never contradict one anotherGalileo Galilei
Honouring a GIANT
Very much as an ode to the great an unrivalled mind of Rudolf Clausius we will call the functionality of the "order of existence" which we now know is the spiritual realm - "Spirics." This will be to highlight its deep connection to, and familiar definition with the role of "Physics," in the visible Cosmos. In other words, just as physics determines how things operate and function in the Cosmos, spirics, similarly does the same in the spirit realm. This mimics the way Clausius named Entropy to remind us of its intimate connection and relationship to Energy! And denoted the symbol for entropy as the letter S, presumably, to remind everyone of the S-imilarity between the two entities.
Below is an illustration of Dark Matter from Stanford University. But we know that Dark Matter is actually Invisible Zint. Additionally, we know that Invisible Zint is Heaven. Thus the artists from Stanford, who were intending to illustrate what Dark Matter looked like in figure 82, have actually - unbeknownst to themselves - created a startling impression of HEAVEN .
The spirit realm is a dominion populated by different Inzintian realities. Among them is an invisible one-piece web-like "gauze" that spans the entire universe. And that structure - the "scaffolding of the universe" - is Heaven. The purpose of reasoning on scientific matters is to gain accurate knowledge, so that we can know the true nature of things. So that we can know the world as it really is, and not as our minds, emotions and biases would like it to be! That knowledge, borne of reasoning deeply on the demonstrated evidence, on Evidence Profiles is called ... FAITH! Faith is reason!
We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and to know the place for the first timeT.S. Eliot
Understanding, born of Faith, allows us to disregard any and all falsehoods - as long as we are not emotionally tied to them. And if we are tethered to them by our emotions, it allows us to recalibrate our emotions - to divorce them from errors of reasoning and marry them anew to the only foundation on which accurate knowledge can be based - the truth. In this way we can find the emotional strength to overcome our fears and choose truth over ignorance or moral cowardice. The greatest hurdle to people accepting the truth is not that it is too difficult to understand (nothing can be simpler than the truth), the greatest hurdle is mustering up the strength to fight our own demons and overcome self-doubt. We now know the truth about the real identity of the Inzintian Cosmic Web - its true nature. As true as that is we are still haunted by one loose end from this last section. There is a sentence that haunts us because we might have thought that in Invisible Zint we had found its matching Evidence Profile. Only to learn that Invisible Zint in the form of the universe spanning Universal Web is actually Heaven. It is a sentence we must resolve the answer to before we leave the events of Day 4 of creation, because that is the only creative day it relates to directly. Due to Critical Density, we know that the universe was stretched to its current proportions on this day, because that is the only day on which new celestial objects - which could tip the scales of universal Critical Density away from perfect balance - were being added! The sentence is ...
If only there was a substance known to man, that was not electromagnetic and, was proven to be a volume, it would have the perfect EVIDENCE PROFILE, to fulfill all the functions of - Space!"
Invisible Zint seemed to be the ideal candidate, and yet, as we have established - its Evidence Profile fits the "fine gauze." Invisible Zint, the universal web is Heaven! Even so, do not be disappointed. We will certainly give attention to that sentence ... but first: let us take a break from the deep, but fun stuff, and turn to a popcorn topic - the MCU!
