The Fourth Day

Then God commanded, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate day from night and to show the time when days, years, and religious festivals begin; they will shine in the sky to give light to the earth”—and it was done. So God made the two larger lights, the sun to rule over the day and the moon to rule over the night; he also made the stars. He placed the lights in the sky to shine on the earth, 18to rule over the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God was pleased with what he saw. Evening passed and morning came—that was the fourth day.

(Genesis 1:14-19) Good News Translation

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.”

— 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:

  1. The Earth having an elliptical orbit of the sun.  This isn’t true. Earth’s orbit is a near perfect circle. In which case, how can we tell what’s orbiting what?
  2. 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?

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

(Revelation 6:13) KJV

Why would the stars fall to earth if it weren’t at the center?

Chapter 13

The President fixed Mr. Smith with an icy stare. He turned to his Chief of Staff and did the thing with the eyebrows.

“Mr. President,” began the Chief of Staff,” they refuse to register.  There is nothing in the global treaties going into effect Friday night that will let us to do anything for them.  We can’t allocate them any resources, they’re not registered.”

The President thought for a moment, clearly lost for words.  Mr. Smith shuffled uncomfortably.  The Chief of Staff was really eager for the President to get on the waiting helicopter.

“The people in that camp are Christians,” said the President.

The Chief of Staff sagged slightly.  He had known that this was going to be a tough conversation, which was why he had scheduled it when they were on the run to get somewhere. “Yes, Mr. President, we are aware of that.”

“Those people believe in prophesy from the Bible, they believe that the WMU tattoo is the mark of the beast.  They believe that their very lives depend on not taking that tattoo.  We must respect that.  Freedom of religion is a founding principle of this nation.  I shouldn’t have to remind you about the 1st Amendment.”

“Of course not Mr. President.  Revelation 13:16-18, the number of the beast, 666.  We are all aware of the issue here.”

Mr. Smith jumped in, “Mr. President, this is not a matter of religious freedom.  This is simply a matter of convenience and opportunity.  In the long run, it is much better if we simply make the problem go away.”

The President was not impressed, “What about Revelation 14:9-10?  Those people believe that, ‘If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God.'”

The Chief of Staff shrugged.

“They believe that by refusing to take the mark of the beast they will be entered into the Lamb’s Book of Life, and live for eternity in heaven.”

The Chief of Staff nodded.

“I am shocked that you can call massacring a community of 150,000 Christians, with robot droids or whatever, convenient!  Convenient?  I sure,” he caught himself, gave a wry smile, recomposed himself, “do you have a time line?  When is this going to happen?”

The Chief of Staff got the little group moving again before speaking, “We can be ready, in place, in 1 week.  We don’t have to go right at the WMU deadline, but things are going to get more complicated the longer we wait.  Now we have got to get you on Marine 1!”

The President allowed himself to be bustled through the rotor wind to the helicopter then he turned to shout at the little group, “We’re going to discuss this when I get back from New York, understand?”

The Chief of Staff and Mr. Smith nodded. They scurried back indoors as the rotor wind increased and the helicopter took off.  Mr. Smith looked at the Chief of Staff who was brushing the front of his suit with his hands.

“That could have gone a lot better.”

The Chief of Staff looked at him, “You kidding, that was perfect.” He winked.
