I think I quite thoroughly showed how having a Biblical worldview, one can pretty comfortably embrace the idea that deep outer space isn't really a part of our reality. And that, its o.k to jump onto that ever slowing, yet backing up, "crazy bus". This, without even having to really show that the earth isn't a round sphere, as we are, "scientifically," taught.
The greatest observable evidence of this fact though, is easily the lack of an observable curve. The fact that landmarks several miles away, can be mathematically shown to NOT be observabe (because they should mathematically be obscured by the dropping off over the alleged curve.) But YET, there they stand in all of their exposing GLORY ...
to be seen by any discerning mind through a telescope, or through the lense of the ever-technologically-improving cameras, like the P900. As well as the observation available to any us, of the horizon never appearing anything but a straight line at ANY height or distance. And the fact that the horizon always remains at eyelevel as the observer ascends higher and higher. This ALL SHOULD be observable, and quite obvious, given the easy to use mathematical model of how far, "under the earth's curve," that a distant landmark should be visually "buried". But it isn't. I repeat that point because it seems so simple AND such an obvious point. As well as a great physical illustration of how much our physical reality is being distorted. This all has been demonstrated over and over again by the flat earth community. (As well as their debunking of that old, "Ship disappearing in the distance because of the curve," adage.)
A person could verify this by looking into the mathematical formulas derived by using dogmatic science's own numbers about the size of their round earth, and simple geometry.
But, no matter what the perceived, "outer space," is, ONE thing about it remains True. The more that we philosophically gaze and wonder about it, "out there", the more we seem to be gazing and wondering into our very own souls. (As David illustrates so beautifully in Psalm 19.) Could this be yet another indication to us, of how God intimately intermingles with our souls whether or not we want to notice it or even believe it?
I know that many readers might think that it is a dumb or meaningless point that I try to make. But the more that I dwell on this, the more important its implications seem to be.
Is this an issue that is much,much more important than the fact that it is NOT at all a salvation issue? Is it much more than just a, "distracting, or devisive issue", that I hear many Christians enspouse by saying things like, "WHAT does it matter what the shape of the Earth is?"
But, if outer space isn't what the powers of this world wants to tell us that it is, then what are we to make of it when they tell us about, or even show us space aliens or UFOs? Or, what about meteors or asteroids "Crashing into us"?, or solar flares frying our electrical grid? Or, devastating pole shifts? Or, a mysterious planet X? Or, even the concept of Global warming... Are these potential cosmic crises, REALLY, all just more of Satan's weapons of fear, used to push and prod us into his hell bent and hell bound agenda? Proddimg us to a place where we replace the Creator, God of the Heaven, with outer space. (Setting the throne of our heart, floating around in a philosophical nothingness?), when GOD is much closer to us than we will ever know... for now. And could a person with a truly Biblical worldview, interpret all of these cosmic, "space- like seeming," crises as nothing more than the bells going off of God's, "sky clock", working as HIS Glorious signs/ warnings or alarm system, as known History AND The Bible tells us?
Although, I am coming now to learn that our interpretation of the Book of the Revelation might also be deeply flawed. Flawed, in that we adhere to a futurist interpretation, pushed by those same deceiving Jesuits, of the Book's prophecies. This deceptive interpretation, rather than a perhaps more correct Historicist interpretation. One where many of the Book's prophecies have already gloriously been fulfilled throughout our Geo- political History and the Church's battle (tribulations) with the Roman Empire, that covertly went on to become the Roman Catholic Church. I have many more writes explaining this position. And one could look into the great work of David Nikao Wilcoxson, as well as many older Bible scholars and commentators. (pre 1880's)
It does seem as though this philosophy of "outer space", with its many, many strange "things" floating around in it, or traveling in it... either theorized or supposedly pictured (although, all imagery from outer space is well known to be admitted as being computer generated or "enhanced") ...
But this ALL seems to be a steaming cauldron of weird projection, prognostication, distraction, and prediction (Never substantiated) of all manners of things to illicit fear. Fear IS a weapon of control, and Satan's strongest one. How many times did one of God's angels say "Fear not", in the Bible?
When Jesus said:
"I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."
Luke 10:18-20 KJV
Was THAT, ( the fall of Satan, that Jesus described) Jesus telling us of the birth of what we now call, "fear"? Is that fearfully created place also where, "outer space" , was resultantly, "philosophically born"?
Look where fear and the "falling star", Satan, is thought to have come from. Notice how Jesus, in the second part of that verse, tells us the, "How," and the,"Why," we have victory over fear. Is THAT sheer coincidence?
When Psalm 19 says:
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
Could it be that when we let Satan fill this void of, "outer space", that might not really exist, that it detracts or actually steals from the Glory of God? And that actually mutes the proclamation of His handiwork, AND it perverts the Heaven's actual poured out speech and knowledge. Could this theft... this, "setting up of Satan/Lucifer onto his fake philosophical throne", be behind MUCH of what ails us ALL as God's beloved creation?
Sure, it's not at all a salvation issue. And we believers can still see the Glory of God, in what we believe as, "outer space", (beyond that firmament) whether real or not. But for all of the non believers suffering ALL of the resultant political, "scientific", and social and cultural "waste", that may have occurred in our world by this deception, it most definitely makes me long for God's coming FULL and unadulterated Glory that His Word promises.
So, if in the future, we Christian's find ourselves faced with some kind of seeming paradigm shifting, "news", or "science", or "alien disclosure", or even a cosmic catastrophe, reportedly from "outer space" ... not only can we choose to not accept the soul killing implications of it, but we can know that it isn't just a position held by a blind faith, but a position held by Biblically supported logic.
I'll close my long diatribe with the following story.
I met an older gentleman, who was a new Christian, named Mark, at a church that I once attended. He was a bit of a curmudgeon who was beaten down by mental illness and life in general. One day, he got his hands on a video entitled, "Indescribable ", by Louie Giglio. A great video that illustrated all of the unfathomable and Glorious things about "outer space", from a God, the Creator, perspective. After that he was, PTL, gloriously enthralled. He was filled with the uncontainable Joy of the Lord. I have never seen any transformation like that before or since.
Now juxtapose that mental image with the following sweet, but short little video that shows the sheer joy of tears displayed by a beautiful 102 year old woman named Ruth. A woman that was shown by a "flat earther", how the earth was flat. Confirming what she was taught as a little, American school girl, just some 90 years ago. This transformation of information excited her as well. Stating that she always knew that God was much closer than what she was taught later in life by the round earth paradigm.
Isn't it interesting, and gloriously inspiring, that, "The Glory of God," transcends whatever it is, that our own personal perceptions might be about, "outer space"?
