1 | A silly question? | Josh 10:12 | Lionstrong | 5492 | ||
Dear charis, Go to the Institute of Creation Research's web site, do a search and read the article on Geocentricity and Creation. You may find it interesting how astonomy and physics have changed since Einstein. As to why my persistance on this subject, I have mentioned my views on sola scriptura in the above tree. But this may not be the verse at which to discuss this subject. Yours, Lionstrong |

2 | A silly question? | Josh 10:12 | charis | 5496 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, I did go to irc.org and found the basic assertions of geocentricity: a. the earth is the center of the universe b. the earth is fixed (i.e., immobile) in space c. the earth is unique and special compared to all other heavenly bodies I have no problem with 'c' at all, and the article focuses on this. We agree. In the same article, regarding 'a' and 'b' it states: Evidently, while the physical form of the universe is an interesting scientific issue, it is not of very great importance Biblically. The lack of explicit Biblical teaching on this whole matter makes it impossible to call any conceptual model of the form of the universe "the Biblical view." Also quoted was Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. It asserts that it is impossible for a human observer to determine whether any material body is in a state of absolute rest. I agree with sola scriptura, but am at peace not to speculate where the Scripture is silent. My basic understanding of physics (not Ph.D stuff, mind you) does not interfere with my understanding of the Bible, my faith in God, or my life in Christ Jesus. Blessings in Jesus' name, charis |
