The Theory of the Sky is Falling …Has Fallen
Like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, if anyone has heard any of the Bible, it is probably from the beginning. After that, they probably know little.
Though we look/read no further, we expect that we know the start very well. Well, probably not.
Don’t be chicken, let’s look,
Genesis 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
No universe was made here. Heaven(s) is the literal ‘sky’ above. Water is at the start already. There are no hydrogen/helium fire balls (stars/suns) making dense cores, great heat, and profuse light OR exploding to make the heavier elements like oxygen, which is needed for that water. Hydrogen means “makes water.” Oxygen means “makes sharp.” We now know that exploding stars make oxygen and that both Hydrogen and Oxygen together make water. H20 actually is also H TO O. Hydrogen goes TO make Oxygen.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Here, light exists without the Sun. Though day and night are constant states on all planets at all times, the reference here is of one entity on the Earth and under the sky, so the “day” is our experience of that light/”day” only.
6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
The sky vault goes up and holds the ‘rain’ because evaporation isn’t quite conceived and water clouds aren’t quite understood. Rain is that sky vault “falling.” But known science knows that all of this is not so.
Which came first the chicken or the egg? This passage from Genesis says it is the chicken sandwich. God made it under the supervision of S. Truett Cathy. Everyday the great chicken cooker goes overhead and drops hot oil on us. We chicken littles have good reason to be afraid.
All of this Genesis thinking is void of a ‘universe’ that extends well into the “darkness.” With the firmament/vault/sky holding the water up, how could anyone see our neighboring galaxies or even our own galaxy? The ‘darkness’ of the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy (which we just photographed in the spring of 2022) can not/could not be seen.
But now we do know. We always did see it all with our eyes, just not with our minds. Copernicus helped us to see it with out minds. It launched the revolution of knowing or the Scientific Revolution. Ironically, this revolution was born in the year that Copernicus died.
Here is a musing that I find useful at all times: “Everything you know can and may make you dumber.” Knowing is seeing things a certain way, and by doing so you just might be blocking yourself from seeing something in a different way, and possibly a better way.
Whether you like pickles or not on your chicken sandwich in the sky, a sauce dip might make it better. As a self-avowed dip myself, below is my ‘sauce dip’ that I offer to you to tell the wHoly Books entire 66 books in 1 sentence.

“In a nanosecond after a Copernican cosmic lunch break, omnieverythingness emerged and inflated, and soon after everyone claimed to be the god of it all."
