I know what's in the heavens & it ain't space ships.
Sure there are. Do you use GPS? Do you watch tv or stream content? Do you have a cell phone?

I agree, but it's what NASA has tried to do for decades now
That is complete nonsense. You believe in a cosmology common to many ancient pagan religions, what amounts to a giant snow globe. God's creation, as revealed by things like the Hubble Space Telescope, is incredibly more vast and reveals much more of God's glory and power. Far from hiding God, it in fact reveals just how great God is.

Strange thing about the Hubble is that it can never get a picture of the earth.
Why would it take a picture of earth when we have so many satellites producing a constant stream of detailed images of the earth? It was designed for imaging faint light sources so the earth would be way too bright for its sensitive instruments. It would be like staring at a cars headlights at night with them set to high beam. How much detail do you think you would be able to make out?
You post these things as if they are some kind of "gotcha", when all they do is reveal how little thought you've put into your claims. It makes you look incredibly foolish.

You can count to zero. I hope you understand how underwhelming your ability is.

He sits on the circle of the earth and has bound up the seas.

Proverbs 8:28
28when He established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep gushed forth, 29when He set a boundary for the sea, so that the waters would not surpass His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth. 30Then I was a skilled craftsman at His side, and His delight day by day, rejoicing always in His presence.
But the verses you quote do not say that Antarctica encircles the earth. In fact they don't even mention Antarctica. Yes He set a boundary for the sea, but that doesn't only apply to the sea that surrounds Antarctica.

I agree, but it's what NASA has tried to do for decades now, I sometimes wonder just how many people who believe in the big bang theory, Darwinism or the globe now either laugh or do not believe in the Adam & Eve story, it saddens me :(
I don't believe they have - why would they?
For one thing, although some at NASA might well be Christians, they are scientists. Scientists deal with facts and study, experiment and do tests to prove/disprove theories. They are not studying faith. If a NASA scientist believes in God, they will have no intention of trying to hide his glory - which is impossible anyway. If a NASA scientist is an atheist, they don't believe there is a God.

I sometimes wonder just how many people who believe in the big bang theory, Darwinism or the globe now either laugh or do not believe in the Adam & Eve story, it saddens me :(
And, to be quite honest, it saddens me that someone can say that Christian astronauts, and scientists, are liars because they explode the myth that the moon landings are faked.
It saddens me that someone can say that unless Christians take every word of an English translation of the Bible literally they don't have/believe the truth.
It saddens me that non Christians could say, "well if the bible teaches that the earth is flat and does not revolve around the sun, then the Bible is false" and be put off from hearing about Jesus because Christians are uneducated/don't have their facts straight.
It saddens me greatly that Scripture is misused and misquoted, just to prove a point and that people want to make it say what they want it to say.

I believe in Genesis 1, that Adam and Eve were real AND that the earth is a globe - many others do too.

One thing you can rely on me for is the the truth.
Well, the point is you do change your mind. You have done so over Charles Duke. You have also done so over sunsets and sunrises, insisting at one time that the sun does nor rise and set but only appears to do so, and it actually gets smaller and smaller until it is too small to be seen. You then changed and said you we wrong about that. What you once said about Charles Duke, and what you now say about him cannot both be true, neither can the sun only appearing to set, and actually setting, so how can we rely on you foe the truth?

Not to rain on your parade, but that image is from a music video by the German rock band Rammstein. Here's a link to the full Youtube video and a better image of the famous astronaut Till Lindemann.

I saddens me that these makes you sad.

I believe in Genesis 1, that Adam and Eve were real - many others do too.

And there's many who don't & it makes me wonder why ???

AND that the earth is a globe - many others do too.

I can understand this as there are loads who have been indoctrinated since childhood.

And why shouldn't I ? The Book of Enoch 1 is absolutely true, makes me wonder why it was never canonized.

I saddens me that these makes you sad.
You are sad because I am sad that you are calling a fellow Christian a liar??
What do you want me to do; be happy that you are calling him a liar because you will have to answer to God for it?

You don't seem to realise that Jesus told his disciples that they would be rejected and persecuted, just as he was. He told them that if people rejected them they were rejecting him, and if they rejected him they rejected the One who sent him. He said that if anyone caused one of his children to lose faith, it would be better for that person to have a millstone tied around their neck and be thrown into the sea.
A Christian comes along, says that he walked on the moon and talks about it. During his talk he also says that the walk on the moon was not the most important thing in his life, meeting Jesus was. He said that he had met the One who created the moon and stars and openly talked about his faith.
This is a great testimony and one that God has given him - people may even have become Christians as a result of it.
Your response? He's lying.
By rejecting Charles' Christian testimony you are rejecting him. Go back and read what Jesus said would happen to people who rejected his disciples.

And you are sad that I am sad about that
And there's many who don't & it makes me wonder why ???
Because they don't believe in God?
Because they don't want to read the Bible in case they have to make a decision about Jesus?
Because they are too busy with their lives to bother about God?
I can understand this as there are loads who have been indoctrinated since childhood.
Yes, it's a shame that you have - and do not believe the basic, scientific facts about our world, universe and how it works.

Wonder no more - it wasn't canonised because it wasn't considered to be authentic; simple as that.

More like it wasn't canonized because the truth was too much for people to handle.

Oh do please stop with this nonsense. Hardly any time is spent in school education on that topic. No one is being indoctrinated.

The point is that it isn't part of God's inspired word. Nor are The Book of Jubilees and the Book of Jasher.
