[QUOTE="TzephanYahu, post: 75882286, member: 412979"] Hi [USER=434059]@JimmyKiff[/USER] I understand your concern here, but be very careful for what you take as “fact”. The Heliocentric Model of the Solar System that you are acquainted with is not what the Bible teaches, nor is it how the greatest of ancient cultures (Mayan, Egyptian, Greek and many others) understood cosmology. Far from simple minded, these ancient cultures achieved feats of construction we can’t even match today and nearly all of them are based of star constellations and movements of the luminaries that modern astronomers have only caught up with in recent years. So take great care of what you take as “fact” because you have seen a “photo” or “video” or the information comes branded with the NASA badge. The world you live in isn’t as you have been taught and it’s very far from being insignificant. Rather, it’s the centre stage for all events. You might immediately write that off as foolishness if you have already placed faith in NASA and because of how we’ve all been conditioned since young children. I know, I was there too. However, if you can bear to investigate the matter thinking outside the box, perhaps [URL='https://youtu.be/UcYhsePjuqc'][U]this brief video[/U][/URL] might give you a good place to [I]start[/I] studying cosmology according to the Bible. Again, pay close attention to the things you think are “fact”. Test these facts and models and investigate them independently – don’t take anyone’s word just because they have letter after their name. If the logical and reason seems overly complex, then investigate. If they stand to your objective scrutiny, all good. But if it eventually boils down to “because [I]they[/I] said so” and “because I’ve seen a photo”, then you may be wavering into the realm of science fiction. Now, if you have these wrong assumptions in place – mainly heliocentricity, multiple universes etc, then it will be no wonder why someone as smart as yourself will start seeing the juxtaposition to the Bible. You will quickly conclude we are insignificant and purposeless. This has been the very reason for the perpetuation of this science fiction, just like the theory of evolution. Both work hand in hand to say “You are nothing, you are not important, the Bible is not true, you are lost without hope”. In essence, this is no different that original deception of the serpent in the garden – getting you to question God’s word and aiming for to become your own god. So once more, pay very close attention to what you are being fed as “fact”. Does what your told correlate with your personal observances? What about the facts we find that contradict a heliocentric model? What does the Word of God actually say about the world and it’s construction? Who would be more likely (and has a track record) of lying – God or NASA? I hope you at least investigate why you believe what you believe about the universe, because it is a worthwhile trip.
