One member here suggested changing a thread to this title, and I liked his suggestion; and since it isn't my thread, and I can't change the title, I'll make my own thread.
Is Jupiter still a star?
According to the Bible, yes it is.
Jude 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
But science says otherwise, calling Jupiter a "planet."
So let's see if we can reconcile this conundrum, shall we? before someone says Jude didn't know what he was talking about?
I submit we modify Linnaeus' classification and apply it to this problem thusly:
Family: Wandering Star
Genus: Planet
Species: Jupiter
And bingo! No more conundrum!
Jupiter is both a wandering star and a planet!
Discuss.
