Creationist cosmologies explain the anomalous acceleration of Pioneer spacecraft
by D. Russell Humphreys
A broad class of creationist cosmologies offer an explanation for the ‘Pioneer effect’, an apparent small Sunward anomalous acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft. If a large volume of empty space surrounds the matter of the cosmos, so that the cosmos can have a centre of mass, then the matter is in a deep gravitational potential ‘well’. If space is expanding and spreading the matter outward, then the depth of the well is decreasing. According to general relativity, especially a new solution of Einstein’s equations derived in the Appendix (which also deals with Birkhoff’s theorem), the decreasing depth continuously shortens ‘radar’ distances within the well, causing the observed apparent acceleration. The magnitude of the anomalous acceleration implies the bottom of the potential well has not yet risen very far above the critical depth for gravitational time dilation. Thus the Pioneer effect supports the essentials of several creationist cosmologies: a centre of mass, expansion of space and recent time dilation. Big bang theorists, whose cosmology does not have a centre of mass, cannot use this explanation. As yet, they have no alternative theory upon which they agree....

Can't agree with that. - The universe is the creation, and God exists outside of the creation. Earth is the physical center, and the reason for all the rest that lies beyond it. The physical creation is temporary, and when we transcend the physical, then God will be indeed the center for all of us.
The spiritual Jerusalem is the mother of all the spiritual and it comes down from Heaven, intersecting this dimension, as above, so below.
Spiritual man's relationship to God is at the center of where the 2 Jerusalems meet, above and below.
Sounds remarkably similar to the new age mumbo-jumbo that the drug users spout.
Regardless, it is in no way a disproof of the statements that you originally disputed.
LOL...no you and a few others stick out like sore thumbs.
I see you have never studies the Hebrew scriptures, lol

Care to name names, or is that enemies list supposed to be a secret?
Hebrews 1:1
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hebrews 8:5
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
None of this is relevant to the subject at hand.
Why the shuffle and smoke screen?
You appear to think that God created the earth and walked away, that all there is is some sort of physical existence, the earth, sun and stars, that has no ongoing connection to the living God. What does He do, sit out there and look at it all day?
The bible says that He sustains it constantly with His Word. That He gave the blueprint patterns for worship (spiritual reality) to Moses based on the temple in Heaven. Jesus said His kingdom was within us,and was not of this world (spiritual reality).That the Heavenly Jerusalem (spiritual reality) is the mother of us all.
Sorry to upset your little world but there's more to existence than pie in the sky dispensationalism.
I can see that you'd love to believe that, but it marks you as one of the "foolish virgins."
The clear prophecies contained in the Lord's "appointed times" require that we be awake, and prepared for the exact time of each fulfillment. Your hollow theology precludes that awareness, and replaces it with new-agey fluff, and gnostic confusion.
No, you've not upset my world, but you have exposed to all that are aware of his exqusite prophecies the grim vapor of yours.
this is TOWARD The Sun, from outbound craft. I think the phrasing is confusing some people.
...an ‘apparent anomalous, constant, acceleration acting on the spacecraft with a magnitude ~8.5×10−8 cm/s2 , directed towards the Sun.’...
It is a deceleration, since the craft are moving away from the sun. It looks to me like someone has this backwards. (like all the creationist cosmologists)
==It is a deceleration, since the craft are moving away from the sun. It looks to me like someone has this backwards.
That someone is you.
