We live in a world filled with diverse beliefs. Some are based upon reason and observation; others are based upon faith and tradition; some are based on truth and others are based on falsehood; still others are based upon combinations of these things.
Some people rely upon science to provide the answers about life, whilst others look to religion. Most people let others come up with the answers, yet, there still remain those who search for themselves.
Over the course of time, many theories and beliefs about the Earth and its place in the scheme of things have emerged. Among those, the Genesis version of creation is fairly well accepted in certain religious circles. Naturally, religions incompatible with the book of Genesis have different understandings and beliefs about the origin of the Earth. In the scientific and academic communities, belief in a theory of evolution from a Big Bang is generally accepted, from which the Earth was supposedly formed.
Geologists have studied the Earth and created a model about the nature of the planet that has been fairly well accepted. They have surmised that the inner Earth must be molten, and there have been many volcanoes that have spewed forth molten lava to prove that there is a hot, molten liquid somewhere under the surface of the planet. The accepted scientific belief system today incorporates the theory that hot molten liquid is in the core of the Earth. This core is then believed to be covered by a mantle, which in turn is covered by the crust of the Earth.
Based on the molten-core theory, scientists explain how they think the world works. They surmise that sometimes parts of the core shoot out of the vents of volcanoes, and that sometimes plates under the Earth’s surface move about and cause earthquakes.
The prevailing scientific dogma emphatically rejects any beliefs that there are unseen beings who cause volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. These beliefs are scorned by scientists, who call them superstitions that could only be accepted by ignorant people. Further, scientists argue that once these ignorant people are shown evidence that current scientific beliefs are based upon sound scientific principles, the ignorant believers will be converted into enlightened scientific followers.
A flaw in the scientific model is that it is based on five-sense perception limitations. That is, what can be seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelt is what there is. Therefore, science has little room for unseen intelligent forces at work in its model of the Earth. Genies, angels, ghosts and gods are ridiculed into non-existence under most of the currently accepted scientific models. When unseen intelligent forces are included in the models, those theories are generally lumped into the category of pseudo-science or fantasies.
Pseudo-science is not acceptable to real scientists, who prefer their scientific method, where things are either proven and accepted, or not. Although scientists cannot prove Darwin’s theory of evolution, that matters little to them, because the theory of evolution has been repeated so often by so many that the mantra is now accepted as a fact. The words theory of are now usually removed from the phrase, and Darwin’s hypothesis is now commonly referred to as evolution. Thus, evolution has been elevated to a factual premise.
The same can be said of the scientific community’s general acceptance of the theory that the Earth contains a hot, molten core. Since the theory cannot be proved or disproved at this time, the academics have taken the position of stating the theory over and over and over again until most people accept it as fact. They have taken the same stance to prove the theory of the Big Bang, among several other virtually unsupportable theories.
