Key Notes
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.

model
The Bible's structure creates a cosmology or fake history that makes Egyptian priests, mercenaries, nomads, and hill people into one family.
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.
diagnosis
Jiang says the Big Bang model faces evidence problems, including galaxies appearing earlier than expected and nonconstant universal expansion.
definition
Dark energy is defined polemically as a name for what scientists do not know, rather than a directly understood thing.
normative
Jiang calls Norse mythology probably the greatest cosmological system because it is grand, complete, and unified.
model
The Bible is framed as cosmology rather than chronology: an ordering model for reality and peoplehood rather than a simple timeline.
