Heaven-Centric Model – Interesting Links

On the GoedBericht site, I have defended in several blogs and lectures a worldview based on the Bible, in which the firmament is situated at the center of the (earth and) water surface. So, not on the outside but on the inside of the globe. Indeed, this is not an everyday view…

Very recently, I have (rightly or wrongly) made efforts to highlight the more scientific aspects of this issue. Although I am fully aware that this has two major drawbacks.

Firstly, I am not a scientist and certainly do not claim to be one. I am nothing more than an interested layman. And secondly, a ’technical’ approach to this subject falls far outside what GoedBericht aims to do: letting Scripture speak. Nevertheless, this does not negate the fact that there is plenty of interesting material available that addresses more scientific and philosophical aspects of this worldview. For those interested, the following references are provided. For what it’s worth. Let the reader judge for themselves.

The Inversed Earth Hypothesis
Clearly demonstrates how celestial bodies and light behave in an inverted world model. Towards the center, space expands exponentially.

Inversion Tool
A tool that shows how geometric inversion in a circle works.

Inside Out Universe – The (Legitimate) Hollow Earth Theory
Fascinating article by a lady who does not believe in a heaven-centric worldview herself but seriously approaches the mathematical and physical aspects of this model. Spoiler: the model is scientifically neither provable nor disprovable (which also applies to the Copernican model).

Turning the Universe Inside-Out
This article mainly discusses the philosophical implications of the heaven-centric worldview.

SPACE and the Universe
Wolfgang Braun (Master of Physics), including an explanation of solar and lunar eclipses. I would like to share this quote with the reader:

“If one applies this transformation (read: inversion) to the Copernican worldview, one suddenly recognizes a world that corresponds in the smallest details to the three-level worldview of the Bible. Relationships found by KEPLER and NEWTON remain intact. The terrifying distances of billions of light-years, the infinite emptiness and meaninglessness have disappeared. One recognizes heaven as the throne of God at the center of the universe!”

Professor of Cosmology Defends Heaven-Centric Model
Roman Ulrich Sexl [1939–1986] was a professor of cosmology and General Relativity at the University of Vienna; in this lecture [1983], he defends, without believing in it himself, the heaven-centric model as a serious cosmological alternative and points out, among other things, the mathematical impossibility of disproving or proving this model (as well as the Copernican model). He taught this worldview as an option in his lectures as standard. For the record, this is a Google-translated version of an originally German article.

Interview with Ab Klein Haneveld about the Hollow Earth
In the magazine ‘Francken Vrij’ (2006), an interview with Bible teacher Ab Klein Haneveld about ’the hollow earth’. I first heard about this remarkable model from him in ’83/’84.
