The sun god Ra, Helios, and all its many forms has transitioned into the modern age of popular science (SciPop) by hitching a ride with Christianity.
Solianity
A Failure to Communicate
Relative motion is a difficult concept to teach most people. They're convinced that the success of space missions and the ability to land a space craft on a comet proves heliocentricity.
Switching Between Helio and Geo Centered Models
The best illustration of how we can switch back and forth between different frames of reference, such as heliocentric and Geocentrospheric, is an interactive guide to the flight path of the Voyagers.
Elliptical vs. Cardioid
We need to know that some concepts are paradigm-dependent. This means that they only apply after accepting the premise of a paradigm. We've been discussing elliptical planetary orbits, that's a heliocentric concept.
Synonymy
We have to take a step back and remember that we are on popular science turf (SciPop) when we start talking in their terms about the cosmos. SciPop wants you to believe that the stars are distant suns and galaxies.
Epicycles and Retrograde Motion
In the time we've spent arguing on Twitter one of the points of contention is: which is real, epicycles or retrograde motion? Arguments get nowhere because the answer is: both, depending on your frame of reference.
My Atlas of the Universe Miracle
Once upon a time we (that's me and the Holy spirit) did an experiment: we put God to the test. If God is going to supply our every need, we figured, and we need a book on astronomy, then God needs to give us one.
September 17th
The worlds in collision are established Christian doctrine vs. what the Bible describes, because they’re not the same thing.
April 8th
Understanding relative motion is the power to comprehend that heliocentric and Geocentrospheric models coexist. The Geocentrospheric model is empirical. The heliocentric model is theoretical.
February 16th
The Apostle Paul refers to the third heaven in which case, logically, there must also be a first and second heaven. If you believe that Earth orbits a sun which is adrift in an infinite universe, you don't have a third heaven.
