And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
(Genesis 1:14-19) KJV
Now is the fun part. Yep I’m going to show you that the Bible describes a cosmological system that has the earth at the center. A spherical earth that doesn’t rotate. Yee Haw!
Geocentricity
Our Bible-based model of the creative process requires that the Earth is at the center of the universe, and that the cosmos is enclosed in a crystalline firmament. This is the continued development of Matty’s Paradigm, so named that you can feel okay about ignoring it.
Most people dismiss the geocentrospheric system out of hand, convinced as they are that the Earth orbits the Sun. Those who will stick around long enough for an argument usually use the fact that we landed a satellite on a comet as proof that the solar system is heliocentric, since, they think the gravitational equations involved in the space flight are based on the heliocentric model. This isn’t the case. NASA and other space agencies use geocentrospheric equations for space flights such as these.
As to the difference between the geocentrospheric and heliocentric models Fred Hoyle, who developed the idea of nucleosynthesis and who received a knighthood for his knowledge of astronomy, said this:
“We know that the difference between a heliocentric theory and a geocentric theory is one of relative motion only, and that such a difference has no physical significance.”
โ Sir Fred Hoyle in Astronomy and Cosmology, 1975, p. 416.
Astronomy
Nothing speaks so clearly of a creator than if the earth is at the center of the creation. This is why people since Copernicus have been so determined to rationalize the heliocentric model. Today we live in the Star Trek universe, where spaceship earth is a tiny speck that flits through a vast cosmos full of habitable worlds, alien cultures, and anything you want.
Tycho Brahe was the last person to actually describe what he saw in the heavens. Everyone else has described WHAT THEY WANTED. Tycho Brahe’s system may not be exactly right, but it was an accurate description of observable phenomena before telescopes.
There are some myths that have to be dispelled:
- The Earth having an elliptical orbit of the sun.ย This isn’t true. Earth’s orbit is a near perfect circle. In which case, how can we tell what’s orbiting what?
- Stars are distant suns. No, they are not. We don’t know what the stars are. There’s only one Sun.
Celestial Navigation
Support for our geocentrospheric model comes from an unlikely place, celestial navigation. For centuries navigators on ships used simple apparatus to be able to chart their locations. The instruments they used depended on being able to see celestial bodies, but they only worked when an important assumption is made: The Earth is at the center of the observable universe. It’s like a clock.
The center of the Earth is the center of the dial, the sun and moon move around the Earth like the large and small hands of a clock.
Biblical Prophesy
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
(Matthew 24:29) KJV
There is even more proof that the Earth is the center of the cosmos, this time from Biblical prophesy. Two passages record Jesus foretelling that the stars will fall from heaven. This same situation is also recounted in Mark’s gospel.
And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
(Mark 13:25) KJV
And where are the stars going to fall to?
The stars fell down to the earth, like unripe figs falling from the tree when a strong wind shakes it.
(Revelation 6:13) Good News Translation
Why would the stars fall to earth if it weren’t at the center?
Salvation
- Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
- believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
- confess your sin.
