Music Theory: God’s Design
"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone-while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?
JOB 38:4-7
“How many are your works, O LORD!
In wisdom you made them all.”

Are the planets of our solar system located at random distances from the sun? The Titius-Bode law, discovered 1766, suggests they are not. The law is obtained by writing down first 0, then 3, and then
doubling the previous number: 6, 12, 24, etc. If 4 is added to each number and the sum divided by 10, the resulting numbers give the mean distances of the orbits of the planets in astronomical units (1 AU = the earth’s mean distance from the sun). Uranus,
discovered in 1781, fitted the law, as did Ceres, the largest asteroid between Mars and Jupiter, discovered in 1801. However, the law breaks down completely for Neptune and Pluto, which were discovered later. Various efforts have been made to modify
the Titius-Bode law to make it more accurate.*
*William R. Corliss, The Sun and Solar System Debris, Sourcebook Project, 1986, pp. 34-42.
What the Titius-Bode law essentially means is that planetary orbits become progressively greater by a ratio of approximately 2:1 (the ratio of the octave) with increasing distance from sun. This is brought out in columns 3 and 4 of the table below, in
which half the distance between Mercury and Earth is taken as the unit of measurement. Uranus and Pluto have mean orbits close to the exact distances necessary to complete two further octaves. Neptune is located almost exactly half-way between
Uranus and Pluto, as though to fill in the half-octave position. This may indicate that it was not an original member of the solar system (theosophy says it was captured from outside our solar system). Likewise, the Titius-Bode law works for Pluto if we
ignore Neptune.

Due to its ad-hoc nature, the Titius-Bode law is usually dismissed as a numerical coincidence that has no physical basis. However, the fact that the planets’ distances from the sun follow a pattern can easily be demonstrated by plotting the
logarithm of the mean distance of the planets (including the asteroid belt) against their sequential number (1 to 10). The fact that all the points lie very nearly on a straight line proves that gravitation is ‘quantized’. However, there is currently no
detailed mainstream theory that explains how gravity works and why it should be quantized. The orbits of satellites around moons show the same quantized spacing, as do the orbits of electrons around an atomic nucleus (in the Bohr model of
the atom).

EZEKIEL 33:30-33
"As for you, son of man, your countrymen are talking together about
you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, saying to each other,
`Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD.' 31 My
people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to listen to
your words, but they do not put them into practice. With their mouths
they express devotion, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain. 32
Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love
songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for
they hear your words but do not put them into practice.
EZE 33:33 "When all this comes true--and it surely will--then they
will know that a prophet has been among them."

RO 11:33 – 12:3
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"
For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living
sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.Do not conform
any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and
perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of
yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober
judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you…We have
different gifts, according to the grace given us.

For by him all things were created: things in heaven and
on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers
or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and
for him. He is before all things, and in him all things
hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church;
he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead,
so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For
God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and
through him to reconcile to himself all things whether
things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace
through his blood, shed on the cross.
