Introduction to Biblical Cosmology

What in the world is biblical cosmology? We have grown up in a world dominated by an anti-biblical version of the cosmos or “universe” in which we live. The predominant view of the heavens and earth has been drummed into us from earliest childhood, reinforced in our school system, and constantly affirmed by the media. It is perhaps the biggest lie we face today, a deception that is designed to hide God’s existence from humanity. It falsely represents the “universe” in a way that makes people think that the heavens and earth created themselves through the Big Bang. In this satanic cosmology, there is no Creator and humans are insignificant specks in an immensely vast and dangerous universe.

Biblical cosmology relies on what the Bible tell us about the heavens and earth. It rejects everything that contradicts scripture and seeks to understand where we live using biblical truth as our guide.

We have been trained to think that the Copernican – Newtonian view of the universe is absolutely true and that the Bible must be interpreted in a way that agrees with the dominant scientific view. Most Christians, without realizing it, have bowed the knee to science by allowing this hermeneutic to twist and nullify God’s Word.

This series of articles is designed to challenge readers to compare the reigning cosmology with what the Bible says. It is also meant to strengthen those who already have adopted the biblical view, since the world is decidedly against us.

Not surprisingly, we will find that the biblical view has plenty of scientific evidence to support it. I hope you will find these articles enlightening and encouraging.
