Thanks for Frs Zeglen and de Gusmao, hadn't heard of them!
I find Mendel and Steno totally legit.
Steno had by the way quit his scientific career when he became a priest and he was a Flood geologist, so, Young Earth Creationist.
Mendel is giving anti-Evolutionists lots of arguments.
However, Le Maître ? Come on, if his masses were valid, the only way his faith was it too is if his general attention was vapid.
"In the 9:18 early 20th century, the Belgian priest 9:19 and physicist George Le Maître said that 9:22 Einstein's new theory of gravity, 9:24 general relativity, would cause a static 9:26 eternal universe to collapse into 9:28 nothingness."
Excellent point. But wouldn't this have been already true of Newton's gravity, unless (and this is arguably disproven) the universe were also infinite in extension?
I worked out, somewhat laboriously, since I'm no physicist and don't do integral calculus, what would happen to a stationary earth if the Sun circles it each day, just based off gravity.
As long as things were regular (but mathematic regular models don't always mirror reality), Earth would be in a kind of daily orbit around a void the size of Earth.
I don't believe this is the case. I noted also, the initial velocity of Earth in any direction would be ...*
The second after the Sun was created, Earth could have been pulled 5.9 cm towards the Sun. Easy enough for God to stop—and continue stopping up to the present day.
The same is true for the extension of the stars, unless simply the daily rotation is sufficient to keep them off centre (perhaps actually isn't, since centrifugal forces are counted in relation to the aether, but stars every day move with the aether, so stand still in relation to it). And probably God gave each angel of each star the power to keep it up under His throne room.
To a Geocentric, counting on God as mover of the Universe (arguably one possible meaning of "polique rector" in an Ambrosian hymn of evening prayer type) and angels as movers of single heavenly bodies, the theory of a constant expansion is (whichever theory on why be held) superfluous to explain why the universe doesn't collapse.
