The stuff you say about the Word is fine, I'd probably agree with you on all the most important things. I do love The Word, and I study it carefully.I'm just a student and lover of the Word of God, and an observer of what goes on around me....
For someone who loves the Word, the world of science so called, is lacking in explaining the simplest acts of God and the plainest statements made in His Word.
The Holy Spirit "brooded over the waters" is a plain and powerful statement. Like a mother hen on her nest, is the picture painted by the words used, and that is the beginning of the infusing the "life" in the elements of the waters of creation.
That's my studied opinion, and I'm stuck with it....in fact, I like it very much. I don't need to understand the science God used for infusing the elements of creation with life, but with my simple, believing mind, I see it as the beginning of His infusing the elements in the waters of creation with the life force that He would use to organize those elements into every single created thing that was brought into being, out of the waters of the creation in the six days of creation week.
It is an electric universe. There are those who demonstrate the facts of it who are men of science who are not Bible believers, but who do demonstrate the powers of the creation are electric in nature, and powerful electro-magnetic forces run the entire universe.
But for those who deny it, they cannot explain the spark of life infused in all created beings, nor can they explain how the creation is held together by the forces of creation, nor can they tell what the pillars of earth and heaven are, which Enoch said were "winds", which translates to currents of great electro-magnetic power, in my understanding.
Enoch also showed that the waters above the heavens and the waters below are kept in place by magnetic powers in them, which he named as two "monsters", Leviathan and Behemoth, male and female....now that was something so scientific that the translators did not know how to understand it, so they left it alone.
The sun is electric, also, and gathers the light from the currents given it from the created light, by the stars....There is proof abundant that the stars and sun are electric, and the Electric Universe web sites have lots of that info for anyone who wants to study it.
As to the sun itself, the Word itself states that the Creator has set His tabernacle/dwelling place, in the sun, in the original Hebrew, the Greek Septuagint, the Latin Vulgate, and the Douay-Rheims English.
Now that is the doctrine of the original Word, and it is a much more interesting creation when one seeks understanding from the Word, even though they are not "engineers", but love the Word itself.
The fact that you aren't interested in science is ok. I think it's misguided, but no big deal. I also know from your very words that you don't actually have a clue what science is. But fine, if you don't want to learn, then so be it. Plenty of people like that live good harmless lives.
But then you go on to say that you believe in some fantasy pseudo-science woo. That cannot be left unchallenged. Propagating this nonsense is like encouraging people to read their horoscopes, or investigate ley-lines, or use homoeopaths. This demeans science, and - worse - makes Christians look like fools to those who do understand science.
By all means divorce science from faith, that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do. But to marry our faith to pseudo-science is a very dangerous thing to do. It's a form of syncretism of the worst kind.
