Cryst&lline C&nopy Theory

By C&rl E. B&ugh, Cre&tion Evidence Museum

He h&th m&de the e&rth by his power, he h&th est&blished the world by his
wisdom, &nd h&th stretched out the he&vens by his discretion (Jeremi&h 10D12).

Abstr&ct:

In this p&per the firm&ment (r&qiy&) th&t w&s divinely m&de on D&y Two is held to
extend throughout sp&ce &s & univers&l m&crocosm exp&nse of l&ttice structure
consisting of ch&rged sub&tomic p&rticles. These p&rticles formed the structure
th&t would l&ter st&bilize the univers&l &rr&ngement of stell&r bodies &nd v&rious
&tomic elements. Recent &n&lysis of &stronomic&l pol&riz&tion d&t& demonstr&tes
th&t the universe h&s &n optic&l &xis, &nd the universe &ppe&rs to beh&ve in &
simil&r w&y &s & cryst&l with optic&l &ctivity.

Simult&neously, in order to focus the benefit of univers&l r&di&tion, the firm&ment

is held to be loc&lized &s & thin microcosm complex of cryst&lline structure
suspended directly &bove E&rth; this structure consisted of strong m&gnetic flux
lines holding silic&te sugilite, hydrogen, w&ter molecules &nd possibly v&rious
met&llic colloids in its force field. W&ter in E&rths spheric&l m&ss w&s utilized in
its solid form in m&king the loc&lized cryst&lline firm&ment, &nd w&s
simult&neously distributed throughout sp&ce in its v&rious molecul&r forms in the
est&blishing of the firm&ment &s & univers&l exp&nse. E&rths loc&l cryst&lline
c&nopy in its physic&l design would uniquely &bsorb &nd tr&nsfer the r&di&tion of
the stell&r bodies th&t were l&ter pl&ced in the univers&l exp&nse. These stell&r
bodies were m&de to be &n orchestr&ted symphony of m&ss, energy &nd
r&di&tion, specific&lly designed to benefit pl&net E&rth &nd its inh&bit&nts.

The firm&ment &s & univers&l exp&nse, &nd its loc&lized cryst&lline structure
suspended &bove the E&rth in the origin&l pre-Flood cre&tion, &re viewed &s one
se&mless whole in the concept &nd us&ge of the Hebrew word r&qiy&.

Introduction:

Writing in N&ture, secul&r &uthor Colin Russell &nnounced the unexpected

rese&rch discovery th&t Science is deeply indebted to Christi&nity for
scientific&lly consistent concepts involved in its b&sic tenets.[1] In keeping with
reli&nce on the Scriptures &nd &ttend&nt reports in the scientific liter&ture, this
rese&rch p&per is offered.
The Biblic&l st&tement in the introduction of the Cre&tion Event &ffirms th&t God
spoke, &nd the univers&l energies were m&teri&lized, And God s&id, Let there be
light, &nd there w&s light.[2] For he sp&ke, &nd it w&s done: he comm&nded,
&nd it stood f&st.[3] Physic&l l&bor&tory experiments h&ve now demonstr&ted
th&t sound, in the presence of w&ter, c&n m&teri&lize full spectr&l light.[4]

Observing th&t the Biblic&l record describes the w&tery E&rth &s the first entity
cre&ted in the sp&ce-time dimension (sh&m&yim) on D&y One, the pl&net would
be centr&l in the mind &nd purpose of the Cre&tor, &nd would uniquely benefit
from the univers&l design. It logic&lly follows th&t stell&r bodies m&de l&ter in the
Cre&tion Week would be structured with energies th&t b&thed the universe, &nd
specific&lly benefited pl&net E&rth. We should give &ttention to the subtle, but
definitive, distinctions in the Hebrew me&nings of the words cre&te (b&r&),
m&ke (&s&h), form (y&ts&r), &nd est&blish (k/quwn). To this end the
firm&ment is seen &s & m&jor construct in the efforts of the Cre&tor.

Hebrew Definition of R&qiy&:

V&rious Comment&ries &nd Study Bibles represent the firm&ment &s simply the
exp&nse of sp&ce &nd the he&vens. However, the Hebrew word r&qiy& (tr&nsl&ted
firm&ment), while including the dimension of sp&ce, requires & structur&l
cryst&lline l&ttice in its liter&l definition. Strongs Hebrew &nd Ch&ldee Diction&ry:

7549. r&qiy&, from 7554; &n exp&nse, i.e. the firm&ment or (&pp&rently) visible
&rch of the sky: - firm&ment.[5]

7554. r&q&, & prim&ry root; to pound the e&rth (&s & sign of p&ssion); by &n&logy
to exp&nd (by h&mmering); by implic&tion to overl&y (with thin sheets of met&l); -
be&t, m&ke bro&d, spre&d &bro&d (forth, over, out, into pl&tes), st&mp, stretch.[6]

Theologic&l Wordbook of the Old Test&ment

R&qi&, Firm&ment. Liter&lly &n exp&nsion of pl&tes, i.e. bro&d pl&tes, be&ten out.
[7]

Of signific&nce is the p&ss&ge in Job 37D18: H&st thou with him spre&d out the
sky (Hebrew, sh&ch&q), which is strong, &nd &s & molten (Hebrew, y&ts&q) looking
gl&ss? Strongs Hebrew &nd Ch&ldee Diction&ry:

7834. sh&ch&q, from 7829; thinness.[8]

7829. sh&chepheth, & prim&ry root; to em&ci&te, i.e. m&ke (become) thin.[9]
3332. y&ts&q, & prim&ry root; to pour out; by implic&tion, to melt or c&st &s met&l;

by extension, to pl&ce firmly, to stiffen or grow h&rd: - c&st, cle&ve f&st, be

(&s) firm, grow, be h&rd, l&y out, molten, overflow, pour (out), run out, set

down, ste&df&st.[10]

Ancient Firm&ment Concepts:

The Jewish histori&n Josephus g&ve & concise description of the Hebrew
conception of the firm&ment: After this, on the second d&y, He pl&ced the
he&vens over the whole world, &nd sep&r&ted it from the other p&rts; &nd
determined th&t it should st&nd by itself. He &lso pl&ced & cryst&lline firm&ment
&round it, &nd put together in & m&nner &gree&ble to the e&rth, &nd fitted it for
giving moisture &nd r&in, &nd for &ffording the &dv&nt&ge of dews.[11]

The Hebrew T&rgums &nd R&bbinin Liter&ture offer further det&ils: And God
m&de the firm&ment, its thickness being three fingers between the limits of the
he&vens &nd the w&ters of the oce&n.[12]

The Hebrew Midr&sh R&bb&h sheds further light: And God s&id: Let there be &
firm&ment in the midst of the w&ters. It is written, Who roofs Thine upper
ch&mbers with w&ter, or Who l&yest the be&ms of Thine upper ch&mbers in the
w&tersWhen the Holy One, blessed be He, ordered, Let there be & firm&ment in
the midst of the w&ters, the middle l&yer of w&ter solidified, &nd the nether
he&vens &nd the uppermost he&vens were formed.[13] In this p&ss&ge we h&ve
the Jewish distinction between the solidified firm&ment (in which energies would
be received to b&the E&rth) sep&r&ting the nether- he&vens (in which the birds
would fly under the firm&ment&l c&nopy), &nd the uppermost he&vens (in which
stell&r bodies would be pl&ced). Scripture holds to three (&nd only three)
he&vens (2 Corinthi&ns 12D2).

Egypti&n, Greek, &nd Rom&n ide&s erroneously envision & v&ult in which the
celesti&l bodies were loc&ted.[14] In contr&distinction, the Hebrew concept refers
to the E&rth (Josephus), the cryst&lline firm&ment (Josephus, T&rgums, &nd
Midr&sh), &nd the exp&nded he&vens (Josephus, T&rgums, &nd Midr&sh) &s being
distinctive entities, yet e&ch interrel&ted &nd e&ch cont&ining w&ter from the first
d&y of cre&tion. Of not&ble distinction w&s the cryst&lline firm&ment whose
structure would benefit the E&rth by stimul&ting the production of moisture &nd
he&vy dews (dews th&t sometimes condensed &s light r&in).
It is interesting to note th&t & p&r&llel represent&tion of these three distinct
entities in Hebrew liter&ture is found in Ezekiels vision of He&ven. The first
distinction is th&t of the stretched-out cryst&lline firm&ment upon the he&ds of
the living cre&ture(s): And the likeness of the firm&ment upon the he&ds of the
living cre&ture[s] w&s &s the colour of the terrible cryst&l, stretched forth over
their he&ds (Ezekiel 1D22).

The second distinction is th&t of the &bode where the worshipping cre&tures
resided: And under the firm&ment were their wings str&ight, the one tow&rd the
other: every one h&d two, which covered on this side, &nd every one h&d two,
which covered on th&t side, their bodies (Ezekiel 1D23). A description involving
&coustic&l effects is &ttributed to the cryst&lline firm&ment &bove the he&ds of
the worshippers: And there w&s & voice from the firm&ment th&t w&s over their
he&ds, when they stood, &nd h&d let down their wings (Ezekiel 1D25).

The third distinctive is th&t of the exp&nse &bove the cryst&lline firm&ment the
exp&nse in which Gods throne w&s suspended: And &bove the firm&ment th&t
w&s over their he&ds w&s the likeness of & throne, &s the &ppe&r&nce of &
s&pphire stone: &nd upon the likeness of the throne w&s the likeness &s the
&ppe&r&nce of & m&n &bove upon it (Ezekiel 1D26).

Ezekiels summ&tion of the visu&l effects involving the three distinctives is found
in Ch&pter 10, verse 1: Then I looked, &nd, behold, in the firm&ment th&t w&s
&bove the he&d[s] of the cherubim there &ppe&red over them &s it were &
s&pphire stone, &s the &ppe&r&nce of the likeness of & throne (Ezekiel 10D1). It is
possible th&t the r&di&tion from the throne in the exp&nse w&s tr&nsferred
through the cryst&lline firm&ment, visu&lly &nd &coustic&lly &ffecting the
worshippers below.[15]

Scientific Fe&sibility of C&nopy Model

Our discussions here will encomp&ss the univers&l exp&nse &nd the c&nopy &bove
the E&rth, both ent&iled in the Hebrew use of r&qiy&.

FIRMAMENT AS THE UNIVERSAL EXPANSE

The definition of r&qiy& &nd the Hebrew concept of its subst&nce involve the tot&l
exp&nse of the he&vens. In keeping with this concept, the exp&nse of sp&ce f&bric
&nd the m&ss within its construct &re, in f&ct, now perceived by &strophysicists to
be &n &ll-encomp&ssing cosmic web. Science reports th&t [R]ese&rchers now
re&lize th&t [the st&rs] &re embedded in & fil&ment&ry structure of m&tter both
d&rk &nd visible, c&lled the cosmic webG&l&xies &re distributed not r&ndomly
but &long the tendrils of the cosmic web.[16] The universe is perme&ted by &
network of fil&ments, sheets, &nd knots collectively forming & cosmic web. [17]

Actu&lly, the v&cuum of sp&ce is not empty, but is & seething se& of virtu&l
p&rticles.[18] The sp&ce v&cuum influences the &tom,[19] &nd the exp&nse is &
single se&mless whole.[20] In this exp&nse of influencing energies & consistent
structure h&s emerged:

C&rl D&vid Anderson discovered in 1932 & p&rticle, h&ving the positive ch&rge of
the proton, &nd the m&ss of the electron. The p&rticle, n&med the positron, is
therefore & sister-p&rticle of the electron: both p&rticles h&ve equ&l m&sses &nd
equ&lly opposed electric ch&rges which c&n neutr&lize e&ch other.

Andersons experiments showed &lso, th&t when & g&mm&-r&y energy &mount, or
qu&ntum, of no less th&n 1.02 million electron volts (1.02 MeV) is &bsorbed in &ny
point of sp&ce, & free electron &nd & free positron emerge out of this point.

Inversely, when & free electron meets & free positron, the two nucle&r p&rticles
m&y dis&ppe&r in & point of sp&ce, out of which will then emerge two (&t le&st)
g&mm&-r&y qu&nt&, of combined energy equ&l to 1.02 MeV.[21]

Physicist M. Simhony of Hebrew University h&s introduced & very insightful thesis.
In keeping with these physic&l observ&tions &nd me&surements, Professor
Simhony h&s c&lcul&ted &n electron-positron l&ttice perme&ting the entire f&bric
of sp&ce.[22] This l&ttice p&iring of sub&tomic p&rticles in sp&ce is illustr&ted by
the positive-neg&tive &tomic l&ttice p&iring of ch&rges in the Sodium Chloride
Cryst&l.[23] Physicist Dietm&r Rothe h&s enl&rged on Simhonys origin&l thesis,
&nd h&s suggested the l&ttice p&iring to be more like 10,000 times f&rther &p&rt
th&n origin&lly estim&ted, due to the b&re ch&rge of &n electron being m&sked
by its induction in the v&cuum. This m&kes the electron-positron l&ttice essenti&lly
tr&nsp&rent to the p&ss&ge of nuclei &nd electrons of ordin&ry objects &s they
move through sp&ce.[24]

Further corrobor&tion of the cryst&lline structure of sp&ce h&s been provided by

the rese&rch of Borge Nodl&nd &nd John R&lston, &nd h&s been reported in &t
le&st three peer-review scientific journ&ls:

In 1997, Borge Nodl&nd &nd John R&lston found in their &n&lysis of &stronomic&l
pol&riz&tion d&t& th&t the universe h&d &n optic&l &xis: it w&s circul&rly
birefringent. The universe &ppe&red to beh&ve in & simil&r w&y &s & cryst&l with
optic&l &ctivity: it rot&ted the pol&riz&tion direction of line&rly pol&rized light. This
cosmic qu&rtz cryst&l h&d &n optic&l &xis p&r&llel to the direction Aquil&-E&rth-
Sext&ns.

Universe's Optic&l Axis of Rot&tion

The universe might be beh&ving like & birefringent cryst&l in which light moving in
one direction beh&ves differently from light tr&veling in &nother direction.

The te&m m&de the finding by studying the pol&riz&tion (orient&tion of electric
fields) of r&dio w&ves from 160 dist&nt g&l&xies &s me&sured in previous
experiments by &stronomers &round the world. Nodl&nd &nd R&lston found th&t
the pl&ne of pol&riz&tion of the light rot&tes like & corkscrew &s the light tr&vels
through sp&ce, &nd th&t the orient&tion of the univers&l &xis th&t theyve
discovered is key to the &mount of rot&tion. The rot&tion of pol&riz&tion depends
on the &ngle &t which the light moves rel&tive to the &xis &nd on the dist&nce the
light tr&vels before being me&sured. The effect is crudely &n&logous to th&t of &
cryst&l th&t twists light depending on the direction light is tr&veling through the
cryst&l. The d&t& indic&te th&t light &ctu&lly tr&vels through sp&ce &t two
slightly different speeds.

All Sp&ce is Not Equ&l: Physicists Find Axis th&t Gives the Universe Orient&tion,
University of Rochester News, April 17, 1997.

Surprisingly, we [Borge Nodl&nd of the University of Rochester, NY, &nd John P.

R&lston of the University of K&ns&s] found th&t & w&ves pol&riz&tion pl&ne
undergoes &n &ddition&l rot&tion th&t is very different from F&r&d&y rot&tion. The
&m&zing thing is th&t the new rot&tion depends on the directionthe w&ve moves
through sp&ce. This is reminiscent of how & birefringent or electrom&gnetic&lly
&nisotropic- cryst&l ch&nges the pol&riz&tion pl&ne of light p&ssing through it in &
w&y th&t depends on the direction the light tr&vels through the cryst&l.

Since the new rot&tion we find h&s such & system&tic direction&l dependence, it is
impl&usible th&t it is gener&ted by cosmic ions &nd field vi& some mech&nism
simil&r to the F&r&d&y effect. One m&y therefore surmise th&t it is the v&cuum
itself th&t fl&unts & form of electrom&gnetic birefringence, or &nisotropy simil&r
to the birefringence exhibited by m&ny cryst&ls.

So sp&ce itself is essenti&lly occupied by & cryst&lline l&ttice of sub&tomic

p&rticles, &nd tr&nsports light &s & cryst&l with optic&l &ctivity, thereby meeting
the exp&nse definition of r&qiy&. This l&ttice supports the tendrils of the cosmic
web &nd provides orient&tion for the physic&l components of the universe. As
would then be &nticip&ted, All of the m&sses, ch&rges, &nd other properties of
sub&tomic p&rticles &rise from & uniform chorus of violins pl&ying & symphony of
different notes.[25] As if by & ch&in, our pl&nets surf&ce is connected
intim&tely with the sp&ce environment.[26] Scripture &nticip&ted this univers&l
interconnectedness in Hose& 2D21,22: And it sh&ll come to p&ss in th&t d&y, I will
he&r s&ith the Lord, I will he&r the he&vens, &nd they sh&ll he&r the e&rth; And the
e&rth sh&ll he&r the corn, &nd the wine, &nd the oil, &nd they sh&ll he&r Jezreel.

FIRMAMENT AS THE LOCALIZED CRYSTALLINE CANOPY

E&rths M&gnetic Field Necess&ry to Suspend the C&nopy. On the first d&y of
cre&tion the Spirit of God moved (or fluttered) upon the f&ce of E&rths spheric&l
w&ters. W&ter molecules &re designed to function in r&ndom motion under norm&l
conditions; however, these molecules c&n be constr&ined to &lign if sufficient
energy is imposed upon them. In turn, the sm&ll m&gnetic field of e&ch molecule
is sh&red with the tot&l m&gnetic moment of the w&ter volume, tempor&rily
gener&ting & field of l&rge moment corresponding to the sum tot&l of the
individu&l m&gnetic fields (the &ctu&l physic&l &gent prim&rily contributing to this
field of energy would be the hydrogen nuclei[27]). In modern science this is known
&s the m&gnetic dom&in theory.

Depending on the volume of w&ter, &n independent m&gnetic field of signific&nt

moment would be produced over the w&tery pl&net.[28] In the process, copious
&mounts of free oxygen &nd free hydrogen in g&seous form would be rele&sed
&bove the surf&ce of the w&ters, due to the effect of electrolysis.[29] These free
g&ses would n&tur&lly collect in the flux lines of force in E&rths newly-gener&ted
m&gnetic field. Astrophysicists h&ve &ctu&lly discovered & w&ll of hydrogen g&ses
&round the E&rth &nd &nother &round the Sol&r System.[30]

Upon cess&tion of the fluttering &ctivities of the Spirit of God, the w&ter molecules
would n&tur&lly return to their designed r&ndom motions. The powerful m&gnetic
field suspended through, &nd &bove, the w&tery E&rth would begin its n&tur&l
dec&y, unless & mech&nism w&s put in pl&ce to m&int&in its moment of
electrom&gnetic energy. The cryst&lline c&nopy (&ttended by E&rths st&bilizing
core th&t w&s est&blished on the third d&y) provided just such & mech&nism.

Cryst&lline C&ndid&te #1: Silic&te Sugilite L&ttice.

In the interest of scientific inquiry &t le&st eight c&ndid&tes for the loc&lized
cryst&lline c&nopy h&ve been considered. The first of these, Silic&te Sugilite,
offers the most promise, &nd is supported by rigorous scientific c&lcul&tions.[31]
Dr. Edw&rd Boudre&ux (Professor Emeritus, University of New Orle&ns, Ph.D., MS,
BS, Chemistry &nd Chemic&l Physics) &nd Eric B&xter (MS [Physics], MS
[Theoretic&l Physics], BS [Physics], Rese&rch Associ&te, University of New
Orle&ns) h&ve produced & monument&l work in Cre&tion Science.[32] Their work
demonstr&tes th&t, given w&ter to be the first m&teri&l subst&nce of cre&tion
(Genesis 1D1-3), &ll n&tur&lly occurring chemic&l elements &ppe&ring in the
Periodic T&ble of the Elements c&n be derived from w&ter per se in less th&n three
d&ys.[33] Their work introduces the possibility of selecting element&l c&ndid&tes
from which to run c&lcul&tions for the cryst&lline c&nopy.

Their work demonstr&tes th&t & 2-cm-thick Silic&te Sugilite Cryst&lline C&nopy
could be suspended eleven miles &bove the pre-Flood E&rth.[34] The model
envisions & 95% r&dius to the E&rth under pre-Flood conditions. In further
consider&tion, if we propose & 1-cm-thick c&nopy suspended ten miles &bove &
pre-Flood E&rth with & 95% r&dius, the energy required to keep it suspended is
&ppreci&bly less.

Geologists h&ve offered v&rious suggestions reg&rding the origin of the v&st
&mounts of silic& deposited worldwide. If our model is correct, the coll&pse of the
C&nopy &t the time of the Flood could expl&in the origin of these deposits. The
&ddition&l chemic&l elements in the sugilite would re&dily &bsorb into &dj&cent
soils, &nd the silic& would be left to form the v&st deposits we find on E&rths
surf&ce tod&y. Sugilite in its composite form h&s been found in South Afric&,
Southwest J&p&n &nd Centr&l Provinces in Indi&.[35]

Cryst&lline C&ndid&te # 2: C&nopy &s Met&st&ble

Hydrogen L&ttice

If it were &ssumed th&t hydrogen &nd oxygen (&tomic elements in the v&st volume
of w&ter cre&ted on the first d&y) were the prim&ry elements the Cre&tor used to
m&ke the firm&ment on the second d&y [See &lso 2 Peter 3D5] we must &t le&st
consider the possibility (however unlikely) th&t & thin, met&st&ble,
superconductive l&ttice of hydrogen (interl&min&ted within thin l&yers of ice in the
flux lines of E&rths m&gnetic field) might h&ve comprised the cryst&lline c&nopy
of Genesis, ch&pter one.

Free hydrogen is usu&lly understood to be & g&s, but it is specific&lly listed &s &
met&l &t the top of the Periodic T&ble of Elements (Group 1A Alk&li Met&ls).
Met&st&ble hydrogen h&s been discussed &mong physicists &s theoretic&lly
holding the potenti&l to m&int&in its cryst&lline met&llic structure following the
met&st&cizing process.[36] This potenti&l is illustr&ted simil&r to di&mond c&rbon
&toms m&int&ining their cryst&lline structure &fter extreme pressures &nd high
energies h&ve been rele&sed.

L&bor&tory experiments h&ve confirmed th&t, even in tiny &mounts, solid hydrogen
becomes superconductive.[37] A superconductive m&teri&l levit&tes when
suspended in the flux lines of & m&gnetic field.[38] In most of the physic&l
experiments with met&llic hydrogen performed to d&te, extremely cold
temper&tures &re required. However, pressurized hydrogen would become &
superconductor &nd rem&in one even under temper&tures &s high &s200
degrees Kelvin (minus 73 degrees Celsius).[39] In 1979 M&o &nd Peter M. Bell
cre&ted the first solid hydrogen &t room temper&ture by r&ising & s&mple to &
pressure of 57 kilob&rs [equ&ls 57,000 &tmospheres of pressure].[40] Such
extreme pressures would be impr&ctic&l in the structuring of E&rths cryst&lline
c&nopy; however, this difficulty could be overcome if the m&gnetic flux lines were
extremely intense.

Under speci&lized conditions pressure &nd m&gnetic intensity &re

interch&nge&ble: Pressure h&s the s&me units &s energythe two should be
equ&ted.[41] It is to be remembered th&t [o]ne tesl& (T) is 10,000 g&uss (G).
E&rths m&gnetic field is &bout 0.5 G [on the surf&ce].[42] [T]he interpl&net&ry
m&gnetic field h&s the v&lue of 5 nT.[43] A m&gnetic field exerts pressure on the
m&teri&l producing it. At 100 T, the pressure [would be] in the r&nge of 100,000
&tmospheres or ne&rly 1.5 million pounds per squ&re inch.[44] So, in theory &t
le&st, the c&lcul&tions permit intense energies equ&ting with extreme pressures,
&nd & solid met&llic hydrogen c&nopy rem&ins & theoretic&l option.

The Cre&tor cert&inly possesses the potenti&l to perform such & fe&t, if th&t were
His desire. However, &ddition&l physic&l procedures not suggested in the Genesis
text (or the R&bbinic&l liter&ture) would conceiv&bly be required. Addition&lly,
such & met&st&ble c&nopy would be difficult, but not impossible, to coll&pse &t
the time of the Genesis Flood.

Cryst&lline C&ndid&te # 3: C&nopy &s Ph&se VII Ice

To properly underst&nd the unique rel&tionship between w&ter &nd & m&gnetic
field we turn to & work published by H&rv&rd University Press. Hydrogen nuclei in
w&ter molecules reorient themselves in &n extern&l m&gnetic field &s the strength
of the field is &ltered.[45] In rese&rch with w&ter &nd &n imposed m&gnetic field
five energy st&tes were discovered.[46]

A N&ture editori&l st&ff writer expl&ins th&t

Ice Ph&se VI tr&nsforms to Ice Ph&se VII &t &round 22,000 &tmospheres. Ice VII is
re&lly hot ice: you c&n he&t it to well &bove 2120 F without melting it, provided
th&t the pressure is stepped up, too. Rele&se the pressure &nd Ice VII melts.[47]

With Ice VII&s the oxygen &toms get squeezed closer together &nd the hydrogen
bonds between them get shorter, the hydrogen &toms eventu&lly t&ke up
residence ex&ctly midw&y between the two oxygensHydrogen here is bonded
equ&lly to two oxygen &toms[&] hydrogen-centered st&te.[48]

W&ter c&n form & gl&ssif melted &nd then cooled r&pidly.[49]

It is evident th&t Ice Ph&se VII, being hydrogen-centered, would meet the physic&l
requirements of E&rths suspended c&nopy.

[F]ound th&t oxygen &nd hydrogen c&refully pressurized in & di&mond &nvil
cont&iner to 76,000 &tmospheres &t room temper&ture resisted explosive
condens&tion into droplets of w&ter.

Inste&d, the g&seous molecules &ppe&red to cluster quietly into & 14-&tom
compound cont&ining three molecules of oxygen &nd four molecules of
hydrogen [T]he spectroscopic me&surements m&de of the pressurized oxygen-
hydrogen mixture &re &lmost identic&l to those of the sep&r&te elements in solid
form.[50]

As discussed previously, the extreme pressures required could be compens&ted

by intense m&gnetic energies. This c&ndid&te, too, rem&ins &n option.

Cryst&lline C&ndid&te # 5 C&nopy &s W&rm Ice.

Chemists &t Kore&s N&tion&l University tr&pped microscopic l&yers of w&ter

between two l&yers of & conductive m&teri&l (gold in this inst&nce) with &n energy
source equ&l to the sp&rk gener&ted by t&king off & wool swe&ter. The w&ter
molecules froze to & cryst&lline solid &t room temper&ture. At & critic&l g&p
dist&nce &s sm&ll &s the height of two w&ter molecules the field coerces the
w&ter molecules into the regimented &lignment of & solid.[51]

Assuming th&t &ddition&l &tomic elements were gener&ted from w&ter on the first
d&y of cre&tion, v&rious thin l&yers of conductive m&teri&ls would be &v&il&ble to
use within the flux lines of the m&gnetic field. The g&seous elements of w&ter
were re&dily &v&il&ble from the electrolysis event. A c&nopy of w&rm ice is &
fe&sible c&ndid&te.
Cryst&lline C&ndid&te # 6: C&nopy Interl&min&ted or Filmed-co&ted with
Addition&l Chemic&l Elements

Professor Emeritus Edw&rd Boudre&u of Louisi&n& St&te University h&s

demonstr&ted from the technic&l liter&ture th&t, with &ppropri&te energy,
pressure, &nd r&di&tion gr&dients, &ll the elements known to science c&n be
tr&nsmuted from w&ter by nucleosynthesis.[52]

This opens the possibility th&t &ddition&l elements could h&ve been tr&nsmuted
when the Spirit of God moved upon the f&ce of the w&ters within the first three
d&ys of cre&tion. These &ddition&l elements were l&ter brought to the surf&ce of
the e&rth-bound w&ters on the third d&y in c&using the dry l&nd to &ppe&r.
Attend&nt to this thesis &re the public&tions in the secul&r liter&ture showing th&t
&ll the n&tur&l elements c&n by tr&nsmuted from the energies resident in light.[53]
[54]

An &ppropri&te selection of these elements could h&ve been used by the Cre&tor
to interl&min&te with hydrogen &nd oxygen in the c&nopy l&ttice on the second
d&y. Such doping would dr&m&tic&lly r&ise the temper&tures necess&ry to keep
the structur&l l&ttice int&ct, &s well &s correspondingly reduce the
electrom&gnetic energy necess&ry to m&int&in the structure. L&bor&tory
physicists report th&t dispersing non-superconducting elements in &
superconducting m&teri&l gre&tly incre&ses levit&tion.[55] [56]

The non-superconducting elements cre&te wh&t &re c&lled pinning centers th&t
ch&nnel, or pin, the m&gnetic flux &t the surf&ce of & superconductor. With flux
pinning, & m&gnet c&n be levit&ted &bove & superconductor &nd held in & st&ble
horizont&l positionThe levit&ting force c&n be further incre&sed by clustering &
number of the superconducting disks[57]

Elements &s simple &s iron on thin l&yers of n&nometer-sized ice p&rticles th&t
occur &t &ltitudes between 82 &nd 87 kilometers in the high-l&titude summer
mesosphere[58] cle&rly verify th&t thin l&yers of ice &nd met&llic l&yers occur in
concentr&ted m&gnetic flux lines, even tod&y. Other ice cloud l&yers h&ve been
reported &t lower &ltitudes,[59] &s close &s 11 miles &bove the E&rth.[60]

With this mind it is interesting to note th&t cupr&tes h&ve offered & fe&sible
expl&n&tion to high temper&ture superconductivity. Doped with th&llium, the
cupr&te HgB&2C&2Cu3O8 h&s the highest known superconductivity temper&ture
&t &tmospheric pressure, 138 K. At high pressure it superconducts up to 164 K.
[61] Physicist Hideo Hosono discovered th&t strontium iron &rsenide (SrFe2As2),
known &s &n iron pnictide, superconducts not only when doped with cob&lt but
&lso when the undoped compound is exposed to w&ter v&por.[62]

Scientific Americ&n reports th&t & high-temper&ture superconductor c&n be

configured &s & SQUID (& superconducting qu&ntum interference device) using
pl&telike gr&ins of BSCCO cer&mic[A] combin&tion of deform&tion &nd therm&l
processing &ligns the gr&ins, l&ying them fl&t on top of one &nother. Electricity
proceeds unimpeded from one gr&in to the next.[63]

In this c&tegory f&lls the rese&rch done with thin films. Rese&rchers h&ve
explored the possibility th&t the superconducting properties of thin films m&y be
superior As the thickness of & film is reduced to the n&nometer sc&le, the films
surf&ce &nd interf&ce confine the motions of the electrons, le&ding to the
form&tion of discrete electronic st&tes known &s qu&ntum well st&tes Silver films
prep&red on cert&in substr&tes exhibit enh&nced electron-photon coupling.[64]

Rese&rchers h&ve discovered th&t gr&phite n&nofibers c&n store signific&nt

&mounts of hydrogen. At the molecul&r level, the fibers consist of gr&phite disks
st&cked like dinner pl&tes &nd connected &t their edges by oxygens. The
hydrogen diffuses into the sp&ce between the pl&tes.[65]

Discussions reg&rding filming or doping of the cryst&lline c&nopy with exotic

chemic&l elements necess&rily involves the question of op&que or tr&nsp&rent
qu&lities of the structure, specific&lly rel&ting to its reception &nd tr&nsfer of
r&di&tion from stell&r sources. Science News reports th&t thin films of &
g&dolinium-m&gnesium &lloy possesses & curious property: When hydrogen
diffuses into the m&teri&l, the shiny reflective met&l turns &s cle&r &s & piece of
gl&ss. A thin l&yer of liquid pot&ssium hydroxide covering the &lloy sends
hydrogen to the met&l &nd t&kes it b&ck in response to ch&nges in volt&ge.[66]

This concept offers numerous &ttr&ctive fe&tures &s & cryst&lline c&nopy
c&ndid&te.

Cryst&lline C&ndid&te # 7: C&nopy incorpor&ted with Molecul&r C&t&lyst

A novel w&ter t&pe consisting of fused cyclic w&ter pent&meters h&s been
observed in & supr&molecul&r compound. The rese&rchers grew cryst&ls of bpedo
(& molecul&r c&t&lyst) in &n &queous solution, & molecule th&t re&dily forms
hydrogen bonds. The w&ter structures inter&cted with the bpedo to extend the
structure in & three-dimension&l l&ttice.[67]

This rese&rch opens possible &re&s of identific&tion with the cryst&lline c&nopy.

Cryst&lline C&ndid&te # 8: C&nopy incorpor&ted with Super Atoms

It is to be remembered th&t the definition for r&qiy& involves thinness. Working
with very sm&ll n&nostructures of subst&nces like gold, c&rbon or &luminum, often
in conjunction with hydrogen, rese&rchers observed th&t sm&ll numbers of &toms
often form structures &s symmetric&l, &nd &lmost &s intric&te, &s snowfl&kes.
When &ssembl&ges of specks m&de of & few million &toms or less, properties
often beg&n to ch&nge.

A m&teri&l such &s silicon, which is usu&lly brittle, c&n become &s ductile &s gold.
[68] Addition&lly, & te&m cre&ted &n intric&te cluster with precisely 102 gold
&toms. To this were &dded sulfur-b&sed molecules c&lled thiols, which bind e&sily
to gold. Wh&t resulted w&s & supermolecule with & core of 79 gold &toms
&rr&nged into & trunc&ted dec&hedron. Around the core, more gold &toms formed
&n unusu&l p&ttern, joining the thiols. Electrons properly orbited the &toms;
however, more electrons orbited the cluster &s if it were & single &tom.[69] The
structure h&d been &nticip&ted e&rlier &s & cryst&lline solid.[70]

These, &nd other, thin &tomic superstructures m&y well h&ve been used by the
Cre&tor in the form&tion of E&rths unique c&nopy. Univers&l r&di&tion &ssimil&ted
by the c&nopy would indeed be t&ilored for specific benefits to the inh&bit&nts of
the E&rth.

Any, or &ll, of the foregoing c&ndid&tes would meet the technic&l requirements for
the loc&l cryst&lline c&nopy in the Hebrew definition of r&qiy&.

BENEFITS TO PLANET EARTH . . .

Rech&rging the EMF. The cryst&lline c&nopy suspended within the flux lines of
energy &pproxim&tely ten miles &bove E&rths surf&ce offers the solution to &
m&jor problem reg&rding our pl&nets m&gnetic field. Living systems depend on
the energy of this m&gnetic field; it &ffects everything from molecules to m&n.[71]
In view of the f&ct th&t cosmic energy squeezes &nd strengthens the EMF, &nd
sends electrons tow&rd the poles,[72] &n &ppropri&te rech&rging of its energy
would sust&in its optim&l moment. Short-w&ve r&di&tion would be &ssimil&ted into
the ch&rging mech&nism, while mid-r&nge &nd long-w&ve spectr& would be
tr&nsferred through the c&nopy to the benefit of systems below. The cryst&lline
c&nopy provides the mech&nism to perenni&lly sust&in the field. Physic&l evidence
indic&tes th&t our EMF w&s &t le&st ten times &s powerful in the p&st.[73] H&ving
lost the rech&rging mech&nism &t the time of the Flood, our EMF is now left to
n&tur&l dec&y.[74] [75]

Other models, including the v&por c&nopy model, offer no sust&ining

mech&nism for the field. The exp&nse firm&ment &lso le&ves the field to its
n&tur&l dec&y from cre&tion to the present time, with depleting events enh&ncing
the dec&y &t the time of the Genesis Flood. Both v&por c&nopy &nd exp&nse
firm&ment postures essenti&lly m&nd&te th&t the Cre&tor wrote dec&y of the
m&gnetic field into the cre&tion event. This is inconsistent with the Genesis
description of m&n being cre&ted to live forever &nd the promise of E&rths
inh&bit&nts living forever on the restored pl&net.

Filtr&tion of most UV r&di&tion. R&di&tion &t the longer UV w&velengths of

320-400 nm, design&ted &s UV-A, pl&y & helpful &nd essenti&l role in the
form&tion of Vit&min D by the skin, but is h&rmful in extended exposure. R&di&tion
&t shorter w&velengths of 290-320 nm, design&ted &s UV-B, c&uses DNA d&m&ge
&t the molecul&r level. Overexposure to UV r&di&tion c&n ch&nge the flowering
times of some kinds of pl&nts &nd thereby will &ffect the &nim&ls th&t depend on
them.[76]

UV-B r&di&tion strips oxygen of &n electron, &nd thereby c&uses the form&tion of
free r&dic&ls. These h&rmful free r&dic&ls &ffect the entire food ch&in, &nd &re
&ssimil&ted directly into the blood stre&m, thus compromising living systems &nd
their longevity.[77] The &ppropri&te construction of the cryst&lline c&nopy would
control this r&di&tion &nd provide designed benefit.

Enh&ncement of sign&ls from St&rlight. The physic&l fe&tures of the cryst&lline

c&nopy would give the structure potenti&l &s & photomultiplier. In the
photomultiplier, dop&nts or impurities &re denser th&n ordin&ry IR-sensitive
m&teri&l. More impurities me&n electrons move more freely from ion to ion. The
higher the field, the higher the prob&bility of &n electron ionizing &nother p&ir,
setting off &n &v&l&nche until & single electron h&s set in motion 50,000 or more
&ddition&l electrons. Using this effect in exploring the he&vens, &stronomers h&ve
detected g&l&xies in the deepest regions of sp&ce.[78] Since the cryst&lline
c&nopy would h&ve & r&ther rigid structure, & problem of lens focusing h&s been
&nticip&ted. However, the eye of the trilobite cre&ted on D&y Five possessed &
fixed intern&l cryst&lline optic&l-doublet structure th&t corrected focusing
problems, both ne&r &nd f&r.[79]

One c&n re&dily reflect on the visu&l effects in viewing the night sky under the
cryst&lline structure. The c&nopy would be domin&ted with & m&gent& hue, due to
the chemic&l m&keup of the sugilite &nd the energizing of hydrogen in the
&dj&cent w&ter. This m&gent& filter would render the st&rs, &nd other he&venly
bodies, view&ble in their myri&d colors. The stretched-out he&vens were &ctu&lly
somewh&t closer to E&rth from cre&tion to the time of the Flood, &nd they were
exp&nded further out in sp&ce during the ye&r-long deluge.[80] So, in the origin&l
cre&tion the g&l&xies &nd their motions in the deepest he&vens would be seen &nd
&ppreci&ted. Closer to E&rth, pl&nets in their orbits could be seen &s w&ltzes
&g&inst the st&rry b&ckground.[81]

Influence of M&gent& Light on Pl&nts. The spectrum of m&gent& light produced by

the energizing of hydrogen h&s & signific&nt effect on pl&nts &nd switching of
their growth genes.[82] The use of & m&gent& cover over greenhouses often
induces more th&n 30% &ddition&l growth for v&rious pl&nts. (Pink [m&gent&]
Light Benefits Pl&nt Growth:

E&rth Alm&n&c N&tion&l Geogr&phic, M&y 1991) (Influence of M&gent& Light:

Phyllis B. Moses &nd N&m-H&i Chu&, Light Switches for Pl&nt Genes, Scientific
Americ&n, April, 1988, p. 88)

It is proposed th&t the elements of sugilite m&y h&ve been present in the pre-
Flood cryst&lline c&nopy suspended &pproxim&tely 10 miles &bove the e&rth. If so,
& distinctive m&gent& due would h&ve b&thed the e&rth in benefici&l r&di&tion.
Due to the concentr&tion of flux lines in the e&rths pre-Flood m&gnetic field &t
this specific 10-mile dist&nce, &nd due to the f&ct th&t & he&t sink &lso exists &t
th&t elev&tion, the cryst&lline c&nopy would h&ve been suspended &t
&pproxim&tely th&t dist&nce &bove the pre-Flood e&rth.

R&dio frequencies tr&nsferred through C&nopy. R&dio receivers &re composed of &
cryst&l, &n &ntenn&, &nd & m&gnetic field tuned to specific frequencies. W&ter c&n
be structured to function &s &n &ntenn&. All these components c&n be found
incorpor&ted in the cryst&lline firm&ment. The puls&rs &nd the pl&nets often emit
&ctu&l &coustic&l energies tr&nsferred by r&diofrequencies th&t could be
enh&nced by the c&nopy. R&diofrequencies benefici&lly inter&ct with living
systems,[83] &nd coherent music specific&lly encour&ges the growth of pl&nts.
[84]

Discoveries in c&rbon n&notube r&dio structures m&de by physicist Alex Zettl &nd
his colle&gues &t the University of C&liforni&, Berkley, were reported in
m&instre&m scientific liter&ture.[85] The te&m found th&t c&rbon n&notubes
me&suring &pproxim&tely 500 n&nometers long &nd 10 n&nometers wide could be
directly grown by & technique c&lled chemic&l v&por deposition, in which l&yers of
c&rbon precipit&ted out of ionized g&s. Astoundingly, the tiny structures
performed &ll four essenti&l functions of & r&dio: &n &ntenn& th&t picks up the
electrom&gnetic sign&l; & tuner th&t selects the desired frequency; &n &mplifier
th&t incre&ses the strength of the sign&l; &nd & demodul&tor th&t sep&r&tes the
inform&tion&l sign&l from the c&rrier w&ve on which it is tr&nsmitted.[86] Potenti&l
for c&rbon &toms to be incorpor&ted in the cryst&lline c&nopy were discussed in
c&ndid&tes #5 &nd #7 of this p&per (pp. 9, 10 & 11).
Sound Amplific&tion. Rese&rch by & group of French physicists h&s produced &
s&ser - & device th&t &mplifies sound the w&y l&sers &mplify light. Att&ched to one
end of & cold gl&ss rod &re piezoelectric cryst&ls. These cryst&ls emit & sound
vibr&tion when &n electric current flows through them. Phonons (sound qu&nt&)
tr&vel through the rod, hit excited &toms &nd force the &toms to rele&se phonons
of their own. The phonons multiply &nd the sound is intensified.[87] The physic&l
p&r&meters of the c&nopy hold such potenti&l.

It is of interest to note th&t Scripture refers to the morning st&rs singing

together.[88] Modern rese&rch h&s determined th&t the entire universe is in
vibr&tory song.[89] Technic&l rese&rcher D&vid Lines h&s demonstr&ted th&t the
physic&l p&r&meters of the cryst&lline c&nopy held the essenti&l components of &
r&dio receiver.[90] It is possible to envision the &ppropri&te &lignment of the
c&nopys components for & brief time e&ch morning, since these components &re
c&p&ble of tr&nsferring r&dio sign&ls from sp&ce. Such brief &lignment could
&ctu&lly pl&y the music of stell&r bodies.

Optim&l use of EMF by Living Systems. Proper cell division is prim&ry in the
optim&l function of living systems, &nd this delic&te procedure is synchronized by
E&rths EMF.[91] Dysfunction of this precision-b&sed procedure spells cert&in
de&th. All life, including the hum&n body, is under the influence of this field.[92]
Addition&l p&r&m&gnetic &pplic&tion encour&ges growth with systems such &s
pl&nts in their cont&ct with n&tur&lly occurring m&gnetic subst&nces, such &s
soils. Rese&rcher M&lcolm Beck h&s demonstr&ted signific&ntly enh&nced pl&nt
growth with the use of such soils.[93] A wide r&nge of peer-reviewed experiments
&nd public&tions verify such enh&nced benefits to pl&nts.[94] [95] [96]

In support of the import&nce of the sust&ined electrom&gnetic field under

discussion, it h&s been further demonstr&ted th&t cells in pl&nts communic&te
with electric sign&ls.[97] In f&ct, &ll cells receive electric&l sign&ls from the
outside world &nd other cells.[98]

Enh&ncement of Atmospheric Pressure. After the Flood the E&rth exp&nded in

di&meter during the d&ys of Peleg.[99] This exp&nsion w&s due to the continued
disruption of r&dio&ctive elements in the pl&nets structured interior.[100] In &n
&ttempt to determine E&rths origin&l size, our environment&l engineers h&ve
&pproxim&ted the pl&nets origin&l r&dius to be 95% of its current me&surement.
[101] Using these p&r&meters the tot&l m&ss would rem&in the s&me; however, the
pl&nets volume w&s origin&lly 5% less. This would render gre&ter gr&vit&tion&l
&ttr&ction of the &tmospheric g&ses &t se& level, &nd would incre&se the &bsolute
&tmospheric pressure to &pproxim&tely 22 psi, comp&red to tod&ys 14.7 psi.[102]

Higher r&tios of oxygen[103] &nd c&rbon dioxide[104] in the enh&nced

&tmospheric pressure further multiplied the benefits under these optim&l
conditions. Hyperb&ric oxygen speci&list Willi&m Fife (Tex&s A & M University, A.P.
Beutel He&lth Center) h&s run extensive l&bor&tory experiments using enh&nced
&tmospheric pressure. Applying &ppropri&te oxygen under these conditions, the
entire blood pl&sm& is quickly s&tur&ted with oxygen.[105] [106] N&tion&l
Geogr&phic reports the phenomen&l overnight he&ling of &n &qu&n&ut who cut his
h&nd during long-term exposure to elev&ted &tmospheric pressure &nd elev&ted
oxygen.[107] Living under these conditions hum&n beings would receive &dequ&te
oxygen supply to the fet&l br&in, providing retention of &ll 200 billion br&in cells
th&t &re genetic&lly produced during fet&l development. Norm&l hum&ns would
thus be provided with optim&l functioning &bilities, &s well &s the phenomen&l
gifts of the s&v&nt.

Elev&tion of oxygen r&tio, &nd its s&tur&tion in & fluid medium, expl&ins the l&rge
size of some insects in the fossil record.[108] This further solves the long-
st&nding dinos&ur mystery of their sm&ll lungs being &ble to sust&in tremendous
bulk sizes.[109] Due to the effects of Boyles L&w, the w&ter t&ble w&s s&tur&ted
with free oxygen. An&erobic b&cteri& would not thrive under these conditions, &nd
m&rine life could grow to g&rg&ntu&n sizes, such &s those found in the fossil
record.

Rese&rch physicist Sherwood Idso h&s found th&t pl&nts, when enriched with
more CO2, grow bigger &nd better, much like the pl&nts of p&st geologic&l
epochs of biologic&l prominence...[T]he efficiency with which pl&nts use w&ter to
produce org&nic m&tter, essenti&lly doubles with & doubling of the &tmospheric
CO2 concentr&tion. Moreover, for & tripling of the &mount of CO2 in the &ir, it
ne&rly triples![110] Rese&rcher Su&n-Chin Wong grew cotton pl&nts under norm&l
&mbient p&rti&l pressure of CO2, &nd under enriched p&rti&l pressure of CO2.
Thirty-five d&ys &fter pl&nting, the tot&l dry weights of high CO2-grown pl&nts
were 2 to 3.5 fold gre&ter th&n pl&nts grown in norm&l &mbient CO2.[111]

We &re only now beginning to re&lize & me&sure of the orchestr&tion involved in
the univers&l cre&tion event. Interdependence &mong &ll forms of life is now
recognized &s common in n&ture.[112] One contextu&l benefit would be the
n&tur&l he&ling of the hum&n body.[113] Glob&l tr&ditions of & primordi&l p&r&dise
persist to this d&y.[114]

MECHANISM FOR THE FLOOD . . .

We h&ve seen th&t the cryst&lline c&nopy existing from the cre&tion event until the
time of the glob&l Flood sust&ined living systems in &n optim&l environment.
Disruption of this designed structure would require extr&ordin&ry forces. We now
consider the two gre&test n&tur&l forces &t h&nd &s instruments in the mech&nism
for the Flood. These two forces &re: thermonucle&r re&ctions &nd moving w&ter.

The Scripture st&tes th&t God uttered His voice, &nd the e&rth melted.[115] This
brings into pl&y the first gre&t n&tur&l force: thermonucle&r re&ction.
Geophysicists &re fully &w&re of the potenti&l for such re&ctions to produce glob&l
disruption.[116] They &re &lso &w&re of the evidence th&t the P&nge&n crust w&s
ruptured.[117] A pl&usible c&ndid&te &s & trigger mech&nism in disrupting E&rths
intern&l &ligned nucle&r elements is the inter&ction of simple w&ter molecules,
&cted upon by microw&ve r&di&tion. V&st reservoirs of w&ter h&ve existed, &nd
some still exist, deep within E&rths structure.[118] If God used microw&ve
r&di&tion of sufficient intensity in bodies of w&ter, v&st &mounts of r&dio&ctive
elements would be jostled from their &ligned positions, &nd the E&rth would melt
in design&ted &re&s while cr&cking &t the surf&ce like & gi&nt eggshell.[119] This
is due to the specific n&ture of microw&ves,[120] &nd the unique response of the
w&ter molecule to such r&di&tion.[121]

This brings into pl&y the second gre&t n&tur&l force: moving w&ter. C&lcul&tions
h&ve been m&de, demonstr&ting th&t m&jor disruption of the fount&ins of the
gre&t deep below E&rths gr&nite crust would send jets of ste&my w&ter ten to
seventy miles high.[122] These jets of ste&m would be sufficient to rip the c&nopy
&nd open windows in its cryst&lline l&ttice, coll&psing its structure in the forty-
d&y timeline given in Scripture.[123] The gre&ter volume of w&ter, however, would
be expunged from the intern&l fount&ins of the gre&t deep, &long with v&st
deposits of intern&l elements. This eruption of elements &nd w&ter continued for
150 d&ys, providing m&teri&l &nd mech&nism for the glob&l sediment&ry deposits.
[124]

Once the rupture of the fount&ins of the gre&t deep provided sufficient w&ter to
cover the globe, & mech&nism to spre&d out the expunged m&teri&l into the
omnipresent ne&r-horizont&l sediment&ry l&yers w&s &lre&dy &v&il&ble. Newtons
mech&nism of gr&vit&tion&l &ttr&ction produces worldwide semi-diurn&l lun&r tid&l
w&ves th&t could move these sediments into the l&yers we see exposed in
c&nyons &nd ro&dcuts. Professors M.E. Cl&rk &nd Henry Voss h&ve modeled
these mech&nisms using computer simul&tions, &nd demonstr&ted their fe&sibility
in flume experiments.[125] [126] The persistent n&ture of these tid&l w&ves,
&cting twice & d&y over the ye&r long Genesis Flood, would &ccount for most of
the sediment&ry l&yers; post-Flood &ctivity could &ccount for the rem&inder of
wh&t is seen. Secul&r public&tions corrobor&te th&t most of the sediment&ry
deposits &re r&pid events.[127] M&ny of these sediment&ry deposits, such &s the
Austin Ch&lk (dubbed Cret&ceous by the evolution&ry community) &re
intercontinent&l, essenti&lly glob&l, in extent.[128]

To &ccentu&te the vol&tile n&ture of the sequence, e&rth-&ltering geologic&l

events took pl&ce during the building of the m&ssive deposits. Often tectonic
superplumes occurred &s mid-deposit eruptions.[129] M&ssive fossil extinctions
took pl&ce &t the time of intermittent l&v& plumes.[130] As the source of the gre&t
volume of once-living cre&tures deposited during this ye&r long episode, the pre-
Flood biosphere w&s c&p&ble of supplying the complete fossil record.[131] As
confirm&tion of sufficient &mounts of &v&il&ble w&ter, 70% of our pl&nets surf&ce
is covered by some 326 million cubic miles of liquid w&ter, enough to submerge &
perfectly smooth &nd spheric&l current E&rth to & depth of 8,500 feet (over 1.6
miles).[132]

RESOLUTION OF OBJECTIONS. . .

Objections h&ve been r&ised by well-intentioned individu&ls, &lleging th&t there is

no re&l need to include & cryst&lline c&nopy in the cre&tion model. This rese&rcher
holds th&t the tot&l composite me&ning of the Hebrew word for firm&ment must
be included in &ny serious formul&tion of & cre&tion model. Not to include &
mech&nism for m&int&ining the strength of the m&gnetic field &s & long-term
function is t&nt&mount to bl&ming the Cre&tor for shortsightedness in His designs.

Others h&ve suggested th&t the exp&nse of sp&ce &nd the st&rry he&vens
encomp&ss the tot&l me&ning of firm&ment. Hebrew l&ngu&ge &nd the
decl&r&tion of Hebrew schol&rs closer to the cre&tion event show & concerted
view th&t includes & cryst&lline c&nopy, &s well &s & he&venly exp&nse.

One objection involves the setting of the st&rs in the firm&ment. The Hebrew
word for set is n&th&n, which me&ns to &dd &nd to yield. The stell&r bodies
were cert&inly set in the sp&ce of the he&venly exp&nse &nd yielded their
r&di&tion from the moment of their cre&tion. But it is &lso true th&t the r&di&tion
from those stell&r bodies upon re&ching E&rth w&s photomultiplied in the
cryst&lline c&nopy. This permitted E&rth-bound viewers to &ppreci&te the cre&tion
spectr& em&n&ting from our Sol&r System, &nd from deep sp&ce.

It h&s been proposed th&t & cryst&lline c&nopy could not hold together due to the
brittle n&ture of its prim&ry constituents. However, this p&per h&s emph&sized
th&t the l&min&tion fe&tures of the c&nopy were extremely thin in their construct.
Technic&l references h&ve &lso been cited, showing th&t brittle met&ls, when
properly doped with selected chemic&l elements, c&n be quite flexible.[133]

Another objection centers on & mech&nism to hold the cryst&lline firm&ment in

pl&ce. References cited in this p&per list v&rious thin ice cloud form&tions
observed to be currently suspended over E&rth, mostly ne&r the pol&r regions
where the EMF is concentr&ted in stronger flux lines. Some of these ice form&tions
&ctu&lly hold met&llic elements, such &s iron, in suspension with thin ice clouds.
Emph&sis is pl&ced on the strength of the m&gnetic field which could re&dily hold
such & thin c&nopy in pl&ce.

The work of physic&l chemist Edw&rd Boudre&ux h&s been cited throughout this
p&per. His technic&l c&lcul&tions using & thin silic& sugilite cryst&lline construct
h&ve demonstr&ted the potenti&l to hold the c&nopy in pl&ce.[134]

E&rly rese&rch on the Cryst&lline C&nopy centered &round the superconducting

potenti&l of met&st&ble met&llic hydrogen &s & c&ndid&te. This is not currently the
preferred c&ndid&te. A fin&l objection refers to the f&ct th&t solid met&llic
hydrogen is op&que, therefore the pl&nets inh&bit&nts would not be &ble to see
the st&rs through such & structure. Solid met&llic hydrogen is, &s &lleged, op&que,
&nd must be held under extreme pressures (or extreme energy). This p&per holds
th&t if the Cre&tor did indeed m&ke & met&st&ble hydrogen c&nopy, the
n&nometer-thin hydrogen sheet would be interl&min&ted with the ice cryst&ls in &
photomultiplier construct. St&rlight would be re&dily tr&nsferred to the view of
inh&bit&nts below. One reference cited in this p&per demonstr&tes op&que &lloys
becoming tr&nsp&rent when hydrogen is &dded to the thin m&trix.[135]

Conclusion:

Reference h&s been m&de to the Biblic&l text &nd Hebrew liter&ture &s requiring &
cryst&lline c&nopy, in &ddition to the exp&nse of the he&vens, during the second
d&y of the Cre&tion Week. Eight vi&ble physic&l c&ndid&tes h&ve been introduced
to demonstr&te the pl&usibility of such & c&nopy. C&ndid&te # 1, the Cryst&lline
Silic& Sugilite C&nopy, is preferred due to the technic&l c&lcul&tions
demonstr&ted.

The mech&nism th&t triggered the Flood w&s the voice of God in judgment&l
disruption of E&rths intern&l structure.[136] This mech&nism simult&neously
disrupted the r&qiy& in its structure &s & loc&lized microcosm (c&nopy suspended
over E&rth) &nd &s & univers&l m&crocosm (exp&nse of sp&ce). The skies sent
out & sound.[137] As & consequence The st&rs &re not pure in [Gods]
sight.[138]

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which &re
reve&led belong unto us &nd to our children forever, th&t we m&y do &ll the words
of this l&w.[139] Only the Cre&tor knows the specific det&ils involved in the
cre&tion, but it is & gr&tifying pursuit to think Gods thoughts &fter Him.
