Bible Note: Tom, it was an interesting point you inserted about the shapes of the countries on our world maps. And, you were also correct in your assessment about how “the church” attempted to hinder discoveries. As the world can still note - on this forum, “the church” still does. My daughter was born around the time man landed on the moon. I recall the "church's" outrage, prior to that landing, attempting to travel into space proves the end was near. They cried, "God will never allow man to go beyond the earth’s atmosphere." How many trips have we made? And I also recall what the world heard from those brave scientists doing what God intended man to do - learn. "In the beginning God ..." Genesis 1 was broadcast around this globe. Interestingly, the church changed their tune when the news came back that the moon held less than 10.000 years of "moon-dust". Oh well, such is man. Over the years as a student, and as someone who has taught, I realized an important tact. The MORE you know what someone knows, the more you know them. Scientists have for centuries teaching us more of what GOD KNOWS merely by discovering what HE DID. Tom, never stop wanting to know HIM more. As far as keeping my chin up – it sags too much. :) Blessings, Taleb |
