The Mother Paradigm - the First Principle of Science

Thomas S. Kuhn trained as a physicist but later became a historian of science. According to Kuhn, a scientific paradigm is a system of faith about physical reality. Kuhn called the activities of scientists, withing the domain of their paradigm: normal science. Normal science uses metaphysical concepts, definitions, instruments and methods that depend on the paradigm - to extend and refine the paradigm. However, scientist do not question the paradigm itself. "No natural history can be interpreted in the absence of at least some implicit body of intertwined theoretical and methodological belief that permits selection, evaluation, and criticism." A scientific paradigm informs scientists about what it means to do science; what is a problem; what constitutes evidence; how to gather evidence and how to solve problems using the techniques and definitions supplied by the paradigm. "The man who is striving to solve a problem defined by existing knowledge and technique is not just looking around. He knows what he wants to achieve, and he designs his instruments and directs his thoughts accordingly."

Occasionally, an outsider introduces theories that contradict the contemporary paradigm. This new idea may unravel the old paradigm and establish a new way of doing science. The Old Guard die  off, one by one, clinging to the way they were trained. Eventually, the new paradigm may be adopted by schools and a new phase of normal science begins. Scientists will again try to solve puzzles, except that now they use the new paradigm to extend and enhance itself.  Kepler's elliptical orbits, Newton's concept of time and gravity, Maxwell's electromagnetic field and Einstein's space-time are examples of scientific revolutions.

No revolution has disturbed the mother of all scientific paradigms for 700 years. The mother of all scientific paradigms is the historical assumption upon which the entire structure of Western science depends. The mother of all paradigms became a first law of science through the advocacy of friar Aquinas. He refined and extended Aristotle basic assumption that the properties of matter are NOT emergent. The entire structure of science, their definitions, mathematics, laws, theories, methods and measuring systems were historically constructed on Aristotle's assumption. In modern terms, scientists hold that atoms are perpetual motion machines that remain unchanging in being, since they were formed.

The Bible predicts that in the last days false teachers will come saying: panta outos diamenei -all things remain the same in being. Peter referred to this idea as the arches ktiseous. This term can be translated as first law. It is without question that all scientists accept a first law that matter does not normally change with age. The mother of all paradigms is the reason the scientific universe is 99% invisible. They must protect their inflexible rule that the properties of matter are not emergent in the face of the overwhelming, visible evidence that all matter changes its properties throughout cosmic history.

Biblical physics is not a paradigm shift, since the words of the Bible do not change. Christians have been adjusting the biblical words to fit the latest scientific paradigm for several centuries now. Biblical physics merely accepts the literal words of the Bible on the subject of physical reality - literally. The creation is in bondage to phthora, fundamental change, according to the Apostle Paul. We confirm biblical physics with sight. Not a single ancient galaxy shines with the light of perpetual motion atoms. Atomic clocks, in billions of galaxies, accelerate their clock frequencies the closer they are to Earth. We easily confirm that the properties of matter are emergent, because we see how the galaxies formed. We observe how little clumps packed with stars moved out, spread out and took up more volume like a tent being spread out. In billions of galaxies, through many eras (ranges), we observe how galaxies grew from tiny naked spheres to great, dusty growth spirals. A scientist might insist that orbits are clock-like and that clocks measure unchanging seconds. Yet we see with our eyes that the clocks and the orbits both accelerate together throughout cosmic history.

Accelerating clocks correlating with accelerating orbits are evidence of relational change. In relational change, the properties change together, simultaneously and in parallel. Relational change cannot be measured locally with perpetual motion clocks or any other instruments. The instruments, the measuring units and the mathematics would all change in parallel, if matter changes as a relation. Yet, relational changes are visible by comparing the visible properties of ancient matter with local, modern matter. We see with our eyes that the properties of matter always change. If the mother paradigm is false, science cannot be fixed. The unnatural, invisible, scientific universe will become the laughing stock of future generations. After all, scientists invent undetectable matter and invisible, vacuous processes to protect their mother paradigm. No one has ever seen a ray of light from invisible matter, yet scientists insist that it outweighs normal matter by several times. The mother paradigm is a very basic idea that effects almost everything scientists do and think.

I predict that science will fail catastrophically and the literal words of the Bible will triumph over humanist reasoning. Look at the universe, not with paradigms about perpetual motion atoms, but with sight. We see a biblical cosmic history with sight. We see creation as it happened long ago. Biblical physics allows one to accept the visible history of the universe as fact. Think about it.
