Default Genesis

There is never any fear that the ancient texts are ridiculed even though it has turned into a sport of sorts among those who can't be inspired or inspiring. Like genuine astronomy, the texts are safe despite the unremitting assault from the inside and externally.

Many declare themselves 'experts' in Biblical interpretation however the books don't serve guesswork nor admit pretense, they simply resonate in different ways much like observations in astronomy strike a right chord and delight those who don't force conclusions but exercise consideration.

I don't have any peers here either as the facets inserted into the texts are there to supplement the narratives for those who can go beyond the surface stories so mocked by contemporaries. Again, I don't admit peers however some have come close to the nuts and bolts of these facets and I am bound to give credit where it is due before going my own way in developing these amazing works -

https://books.google.ie/books?id=5VO...page&q&f=false

In a year of 365.25 days there are 52.17 weeks.

In 1656 years there are 83,393 weeks which is close to the symbolic value of 86,400 seconds in one 24 hour day.

The author of Genesis becomes very specific in closing out the period from Adam to the first drop of rain of the flood -

"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." Genesis 7 v11

The remaining 6 weeks is extended on to the value generated by the 1656 years/ 86,393 weeks to close out the 86,400 week value.

While brutes argue over the days of creation that overlap the Genesis chronology, there is a more beautiful and intricate series of values which surpass the beauty of any art. There is no pressure to understand the facet in Genesis but for those who can, they have a reminder that the great people who left their text did so knowing that some day they would be appreciated.

There's really no such thing as an expert in biblical interpretation
since the body of literature is substantially incoherent and
contradictory, and therefore subject to any interpretation people want
to provide.

Experts in biblical literature can offer ideas about how different
cultures have interpreted it, or who authored it, or when, or which
earlier myths formed the basis of different stories. They can put some
in historical or geographical context. But that's all.

Every religious culture shares almost all of the core ideas.
On that basis alone any decent conspiracy theorist should tear all of them to shreds.

Plagiarism has its place but let's leave that to Kaiser Trump's myth machine:
Is he a man?
Is he a god?
No, he's SuperGerman!
Right down to his [impoverished] Golden [Rush] roots. ;-)
Germaphobe? Germanophobe? Better not ask!

You are mistaken. I am quite expert on both the bible, most major
religions, and religious philosophy.


Despite strutting around casting opinions on everything and anything I find many empiricists like yourself wispy in that there is nothing substantial behind the commentaries and certainly nothing original, almost like a cookie cutter individual following a predictive path full of the same ideologies and slogans.

As an innovator, I looked at what Newton did and how he tried to pass off timekeeping as time so there is very little by way of interpretation in spotting he is forcing his own language on the Equation of Time which renders the dual surface rotations in terms of the natural noon cycle to a 24 hour average -

"Absolute time, in astronomy, is distinguished from relative, by the equation of time. For the natural days are truly unequal, though they are commonly considered as equal and used for a measure of time; astronomers correct this inequality for their more accurate deducing of the celestial motions...The necessity of which equation, for determining the times of a phænomenon, is evinced as well from the experiments of the pendulum clock, as by eclipses of the satellites of Jupiter." Principia

Someone like you when faced with the Equation of Time phrased as absolute/relative time can't absorb what is being said as you inherited the voodoo from a century ago which exploits the situation that nobody understood what Isaac was up to.

You are fine, your partner will show up soon enough so you both can embrace each other with one sentence inanities.

And you disagree with this because:

- Isaac Newton said it; and

- He used the word "relative", which means that it's connected to the crazy theories of that guy Einstein.

In doing a web site to find Kepler's statement of the Equation of Time, I found a web site with the following statement:

"The ‘Equation of Time’, a man-computed convention around which our clocks are
calibrated, has caused several flawed conclusions"

The simple reason being that this era is dominated by celestial sphere ideologies and their proponents so it is a matter of deficiency of numbers rather than superiority.

The works within the Bible make an easy target however when the texts of your own ideologies are presented in a clear way it turns out nobody, at least those with reasonable intelligence, wants anything to do with them. Even when the reasons for the variations in the natural noon cycles can be visually explained using the two distinct rotations to the Sun combining to create the observation, it lacks observers who can reason from the time lapse -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=612gSZsplpE

Subtract daily rotation and the entire planet will turn once to the central Sun as a function of its orbital motion around the Sun where the North and South poles present a window into that surface rotation free of daily rotation.

This is the first time the cause of the variations are explained accurately and it takes a lot of nimble intelligence to apply the 24 hour system and Lat/Long system to the daily cycle and the geometry of the Earth. If people want the historical viewpoints that fell short then easy enough to ask but people are not going to do that.
