The Narrative of Heliocentricity

And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm.
(Daniel 1:21) NKJV

The broad consensus of the scientific community can override what you can see with your own eyes. It’s “science” so you have to believe it.

Sun Star Synonymy

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
(Psalms 147:4) KJV

We’re on popular science turf (SciPop) when we start talking in scientific terms about the cosmos. This is where some sleight-of-hand has been deployed: SciPop wants you to believe that the stars are suns.

Inductive Reasoning

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge— by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV

Logic, no matter how rigorous, breaks down when we speculate about something which we previously made up. Such as THE NARRATIVE we get from mainstream science for the origin of the universe (SciPop).

Helical Helios

Earth-sun radial distance vs. the Sun's orbital radius.

Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”
(Hosea 6:3) NIV

The sun orbits the Earth in a helical spiral. The sun is called Helios in Greek. Either the sun is called Helios because it has a helical orbit, or helices are called helices because they mimic the motion of the sun – Helios.

Betelgeuse Is Neither as Far Nor as Large as We Thought

In the wake of recent fluctuations in Betelgeuse’s brightness, astronomers have rigorously examined the star’s vital statistics, and come up with a bit of a surprise.

Original article

Scientists studying the star Betelgeuse have determined that it’s actually roughly 25% closer than previous estimates.
The star is also slightly smaller than scientists assumed, though it still appears as though it’s reaching the end of its life.
The star poses no threat to Earth when it eventually blows up.

Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
(2 Corinthians 2:10) KJV

Objects in space may be closer than they appear. Betelgeuse isn’t only around 25% closer to Earth than previously thought, but it’s also considerably smaller. Those aren’t our words, they’re from the popular science press (SciPop).

Matty’s Parallax

Principia Mattymatica – Corolary VIII

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
(Exodus 20:4) KJV

When we change our assumption from Heliocentric to Geocentrospheric it has an effect on the distance to stellar objects. This is because of the way that stellar parallax works.

Synonymy

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) Good News Translation

Galileo was one of the first to popularize the idea that stars are distant suns. He was trying to explain why he couldn’t measure the stellar parallax that he predicted would be there if heliocentricity was true.

Absolute Dates

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:41) KJV

Radiometric dating has been contrived in such a way as to make it look as if the “dates” it calculates for rocks are absolute. Absolute means that the dates are separated on a timescale which is known.
