Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ghld-h1qsl4@transcript:v1#seg-0010` - model: Jiang says Dante's God is perfect and eternal, and that perfection creates a problem because it lacks imagination and cannot itself generate creative expansion. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-wgpdmya2bme@transcript:v1#seg-0001` - model: The Bible's structure creates a cosmology or fake history that makes Egyptian priests, mercenaries, nomads, and hill people into one family. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-plmnq44tbg0@transcript:v1#seg-0061`, `video:predictive-history-plmnq44tbg0@transcript:v1#seg-0062`, `video:predictive-history-plmnq44tbg0@transcript:v1#seg-0063` - diagnosis: He claims the Big Bang model may be wrong because scientists defend it as a paradigm even when a multiple-Big-Bang possibility would fit the anomalies better. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-9murgjjg4aa@transcript:v1#seg-0007`, `video:predictive-history-9murgjjg4aa@transcript:v1#seg-0008` - diagnosis: Jiang says the Big Bang model faces evidence problems, including galaxies appearing earlier than expected and nonconstant universal expansion. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-cjtunkcu1ia@transcript:v1#seg-0041`, `video:predictive-history-cjtunkcu1ia@transcript:v1#seg-0042` - definition: Dark energy is defined polemically as a name for what scientists do not know, rather than a directly understood thing. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-cjtunkcu1ia@transcript:v1#seg-0042`, `video:predictive-history-cjtunkcu1ia@transcript:v1#seg-0043` - normative: Jiang calls Norse mythology probably the greatest cosmological system because it is grand, complete, and unified. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-tymnsa83nhy@transcript:v1#seg-0011`, `video:predictive-history-tymnsa83nhy@transcript:v1#seg-0012`, `video:predictive-history-tymnsa83nhy@transcript:v1#seg-0013`, `video:predictive-history-tymnsa83nhy@transcript:v1#seg-0014` - model: The Bible is framed as cosmology rather than chronology: an ordering model for reality and peoplehood rather than a simple timeline. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ghld-h1qsl4@transcript:v1#seg-0010` - model: The judges are interpreted as local heroes who bring other tribes into the Bible's cosmology by giving each group an ancestor or deity inside Israel's story.
