That really is interesting. I really never thought about it that way--not from an historical viewpoint. My opinion was based on the fact that Baptists follow Protestant doctrine rather than Traditional Christian doctrine.
I don't wish to be seen as speaking for my church, because some of my beliefs are seen as eccentric even in that context. I also don't want my church to have to share the abuse handed out in this forum to those who don't "believe the Bible." If you're all that interested there is an obvious clue in my screen name.-- Wow.
For someone who doesn't want to tell us what he is, you're sure willing to tell us what we are, aren't you?
Though be fair, that should be read as American - Baptist. Not as American Baptist but an American who is a Baptist.

Anyone know where the switch is located to turn the moon's light on and off?
Not about the geometry and structure of the Sun and Moon.Catholic church doesnt disagree with science in this day and age.

Some. They still aren't that friendly with science that challenges their dogmas.Catholic church is very much in favour of science.
Please don't try to take away our achievements. No god every gave me any science. I do my own work.God gave us science remember. He gave it to us through learned people.

Truly impressive photograph. It has been worth enduring the nonsense from certain members to get the opportunity to view it. I'm blown away that you could get that detail/quality with such a small telescope. Brilliant. Literally.Since this post has veered off moonlight lets steer it back to some relevance in this case sunlight.
Here is an image I took of the Sun.
I hope you are not going to make one your stupid offensive comments and claim it is another fake image.
This is one of those freakish images where the 1/6000th second exposure corresponded to when the earth's atmosphere was very still and revealed mottled surface details due to solar convection that is not ordinarily seen in a 5 inch telescope without expensive line filters to bring out the detail.
Being an object which produces light where there are no shadows, the sunspots are regions of cooler temperature while the darkening of the limb is due to variations in the solar atmosphere temperature which increases with depth.
At and near the centre of the solar image, an observer sees the deepest and hottest layers that emit the most light.
When approaching the limb, the gas density decreases with increasing radius as the Sun is a sphere where only the upper, cooler layers are observed at the limb which produce less light.
The Catholic Church like certain members in this forum read their own ideas into the Bible.
The Church was influenced by the teachings of Aristotle and incorporated ideas that are not explicitly found in the Bible such as the Sun being a perfect unblemished stationary body.
The invention of the telescope and the subsequent observation of sunspots which moved across the surface indicated the Sun was not a perfect unblemished stationary body and the Church's position unraveled as the science based on evidence took over.
Note the similarities between @d taylor and the Church of the 17th century which initially denied the evidence basing their interpretation on an idea which was never found in the Bible.
I'm doing just fine. All evidence points to my parents having sex as the mode of my creation.God created us. Without God we are doomed...

You read into the text irregardless of what it actually says, and you use your fe eisegesis to likewise describe natural phenomena. And also use your eisegesis to make your judgments concerning anyone- athiest or Christian- who doesn't agree with your distortions.-
I will add you the over flowing list of christian's who has let science affect their Bible understanding.
When a biblical text is interpreted outside of its historical context, it is often unconsciously interpreted in terms of the reader's own culture, time and beliefs. This has happened more than once to Genesis 1: To avoid distorting Genesis 1 in this way, the serious exegete will insist upon placing this chapter within its own historical context.
Your approach and meaning is derived purely from knowledge of modern Western science and simply read into the text. Which is is eisegetical, not exegetical.
And to be very clear, @AV1611VET can't answer not a single follow up question, can't apply his "embedded age theory" on any real life situation. Worse, he begs not to mention any situation outside Genesis one.I can answer that...AV's position is based on Embedded Age. It has nothing to do with theology.
Just out of curiosity, wold that description not fit the Coptic church better?QV please, BCP -- (you too, Warden):
So, why aren’t Baptist Protestants? Because Baptists have never been part of the Roman Catholic Church. Baptists never splintered from Catholicism (such as Lutherans and Episcopalians), nor have we splintered from the splinter groups (such as Methodists). Although this may sound far-fetched to some, history proves this to be true. In fact, it was Sir Isaac Newton who said, “The modern Baptists formerly called Anabaptists are the only people that never symbolized with the Papacy.”

Nope. I was conceived, gestated and then delivered. My parents never mentioned any intruder in the bedroom.God created us.
