Science Fiction

Theoretical sciences deal with subject matter that is either too old (evolution) or too far away (astrophysics) to be able to do much in the way of practical, repeatable experiments. By necessity, these areas of study will never offer us much more than theories. This is acceptable unless conjecture is taught as fact, as has become the case. Neil deGrasse Tyson, who seems to be more of a comedian than a scientist, once said: “The theory of evolution, like the theory of gravity, is a scientific fact.”

Such a move from theory to fact requires the acceptance of unprovable presuppositions by faith. Modern astrophysics has become more of a religion than true science.

When Copernicus and others proposed the revolutionary (pun intended) heliocentric theory to explain what can be observed in the heavens, it was simply another possibility. It was partly based on reason and partly based on mysticism. This man and others, such as Sir Isaac Newton, were heavily influenced by the Egyptian sun worshiper, Hermes Trismegistus. They also believed that circles were perfect geometric figures, much to be preferred over the patterns of “planetary” motion they observed. Copernicus believed that the sun should be the center of the universe, holding sway over its subjects, including earth. (I have written about the occult side of heliocentrism in another article.) This new way of viewing the heavens soon took root and influenced everything that followed. Today heliocentrism is considered to be “gospel” truth, not to be disputed by any sane person, but it is still merely a theory.

Some astrophysicists are honest enough to admit this, such as George Ellis, who wrote in 1995.

People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations, For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations. You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that.    —Cosmologist George Ellis, in Scientific American, “Thinking Globally, Acting Universally”, October 1995

Another less honest astrophysicist, none other than Edwin Hubble, wrote the following after discovering that cosmic background radiation indicates that the earth is the center of the universe.

…Such a condition would imply that we occupy a unique position in the universe, analogous, in a sense, to the ancient conception of a central Earth…This hypothesis cannot be disproved, but it is unwelcome and would only be accepted as a last resort in order to save the phenomena. Therefore we disregard this possibility…. the unwelcome position of a favored location must be avoided at all costs…. such a favored position is intolerable…Therefore, in order to restore homogeneity, and to escape the horror of a unique position…must be compensated by spatial curvature. There seems to be no other escape.” (The Observational Approach to Cosmology)

Ellis and Hubble teach us that certain things in astrophysics must be accepted by faith, making it a religion. Max Planck agreed.

Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: ‘Ye must have faith.’ —Max Planck

Modern astrophysics assumes by faith that there is no Creator. Therefore, the universe must be explained using only mechanistic principles. The Bible is not taken seriously. These false assumptions have unavoidably produced false conclusions.

Modern astrophysics is not science. It is science fiction.

The only way to find our way back to the truth is to return to square one: God exists and created everything, just as the Bible, God’s inspired Word, tells us. What the Bible teaches is the truth. 

Our model of the cosmos must agree with the Bible’s teachings, or it is false. We are faced with the choice to believe what God says or in science fiction.

It takes great courage to contest the accepted paradigm. Many have refused to do so.

I have already known a long time that we do not yet have proof for the system of Copernicus, but I shall not take the risk to be the first one attacking it  —Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), Quoted in F.K. Schultze’s synopsis and translation of F.E. Pasche’s “Christliche Weltanschauuing

Will we stand up for God’s truth or bow the knee to science fiction?

Man’s Ongoing Quest to Escape Our Assigned Habitation, the Earth

Not only has man rebelled against God and the limitations imposed by his Word, the Bible; we also have made it an ongoing quest to go beyond our assigned habitation into regions not given to us by God. The Bible teaches us that Satan wished to go beyond his God-given place and role in order to usurp God’s throne.

But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. 14 ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ Isaiah 14:13–14 (NASB95)

The essence of sin lies in our refusal to accept God’s authority as our Creator.

We see this being played out all around us in our culture. People are not happy with their assigned sexuality or gender. Some women despise the perceived limitations of being wives and mothers. Some men do not want to carry the weight of responsibility connected with the roles of husband and father. Many people believe that has no right to limit our freedom or require anything from us. In actuality, God has given us tremendous freedom, but we have used it for self-destruction for the most part.

Apparently Satan had a privileged status prior to his rebellion, but he wanted more. Although a created being, he considered himself to be God’s equal and had the audacity to attempt to overthrow the Creator’s rule. The result was his utter defeat and ouster from heaven.

And He [Jesus] said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Luke 10:18 (NKJV)

Having failed in his first attempt, Satan did not give up. Apparently, his next plan was to seduce the humans God created and placed in the garden. He succeeded in getting them to join his rebellion against God. It seems that the lure of god-like self-determination is quite overpowering.

God created us to be perfectly fulfilled and happy in a dependent relationship with him.

We were not designed or intended to go it alone. Our Lord’s desire has always been to be with us and live his life in and through us, which is the only pathway to peace and joy. Sadly Adam and Eve threw all that away in pursuit of an empty promise from the devil that they could be like God, knowing good and evil for themselves.

God was not willing to leave us in our degraded and enslaved state. He sent Jesus to restore us to the abundant life God originally intended for us.

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. John 10:10 (NLT)

Not only did God intend for Adam and Eve and their descendants to enjoy a happy and fulfilled life of partnership and dependence upon their Creator, he also provided them with the perfect environment.

The earth God created was a paradise with more than enough capacity to provide for a vast number of people. Before they rebelled against God’s rule, the earth worked with them to provide their needs. After their sin and the consequent judgment, the earth worked against them to some degree.

Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. 18 “Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; 19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:17–19 (NASB95)

Now it is more difficult to extract the blessings from the ground, but not impossible. God’s command to be fruitful and multiply still stands. God still wants the earth to be full of people, something the devil works hard to prevent. Everything he does is designed to enslave and kill us.

Satan, the father of lies, works hard to get us to believe and accept his version of reality in place of God’s truth. 

The earth God created is huge with plentiful resources. The Bible says that it is safely enclosed and protected in a solid firmament. This crystalline structure separates us from the third heaven where God’s throne is located. God reserved heaven for himself, his angels, and all who put their faith and allegiance in his Son, our Lord Jesus the Messiah. Our assigned abode for now is on the earth below the firmament. The Lord wants us to be satisfied with what he has provided for us, not wishing we had more.

Very soon after Adam’s and Eve’s rebellion and their expulsion from the garden, their descendants became discontented with remaining in our assigned habitation.

The Bible records that residents of Mesopotamia constructed a giant tower whose purpose was to reach into heaven.

They said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:4 (NASB95)

Tradition has it that Nimrod wanted to penetrate the barrier of the firmament in order to kill God with his bow and arrows. Regardless of whether there is any truth in that, God took note of this attempt to penetrate into his domain and frustrated their efforts. By dividing them into many different language groups, God slowed down mankind’s technological development. But the drive to push beyond the limits of our habitation and escape its confines persisted.

The quest to breach the firmament was delayed but not stopped.

Permit me space to conjecture a bit, with the full understanding that I am making what I consider to be educated guesses regarding the following points. The Bible tells us that the solid firmament rises from the earth where it is securely anchored. I wrote more about this in previous articles in this series. A 1958 version of The Encyclopedia Americana reported the presence of a dome. This was prior to the Antarctic Treaty and before censorship regarding that area of the world. We are “fenced in” by this structure. At this point, the general public does not know where the firmament connects to the earth, since that area of the world is now “off limits,” but quite possibly Admiral Richard E. Byrd found it, having made several expeditions to that region before and after WWII (1928-30, 1933-34, 1939-40, 1946-47, and 1955-56). He gave a televised interview in which he made some remarkable claims.

During and after Byrd completed his assignments there, several very interesting things took place.

  1. The United Nations was created in 1945.
  2. Walt Disney, who majored in fantasy, and Werner Von Braun partnered to produce a documentary on outer space travel in 1955.
  3. NASA was formed in 1958. Werner Von Braun, a former Nazi, brought to the US under the auspices of Operation Paperclip, was put in charge of our space program, or at least became one of its major spokesmen.
  4. The Antarctic Treaty was signed, cordoning off the area beyond the South 60th parallel, December 1, 1959. The signing nations were each assigned a segment to guard and protect against independent exploration. Interestingly, despite all our international conflicts since then, no one has violated this treaty. Why is it alone so valued?
  5. Operation Fishbowl was part of a series of high altitude nuclear explosions conducted by the US and Russia. Operation Starfish exploded a 1.4 megaton bomb in 1962 at a reported altitude of 400 kilometers or 240 miles.

If I am correct in speculating that Byrd and his associates discovered the wall of the firmament, then the formation of NASA and subsequent rocket launches were part of a plan to probe and perhaps penetrate the firmament. Operation Fishbowl likely was designed to test the strength and nature of the firmament. Numerous videos of rocket launches show them apparently skimming through water and sometimes coming apart at very high altitudes. Many of NASA’s launches take an arc that would dump them into the Bermuda Triangle. (You can find out more about these various topics by visiting my resource page.

If the firmament exists, outer space is a fantasy. The firmament cannot be penetrated, and pretty much everything NASA produces is part of a Disney-like magical kingdom.

Many believe that NASA exists to maintain the illusion that we live on a globe while making ongoing efforts to break through the firmament.

Whatever is the actual case, no one will deny that many people are genuinely obsessed with space travel and the idea of leaving the earth and exploring, and maybe even establishing colonies, beyond the earth. Hollywood, which often hides the truth in plain sight, has given us many clues regarding the firmament and humanity’s inborn desire to escape our assigned habitation. Here are a few examples.

The Matrix movie describes a world where humans are enslaved by convincing them that the lie, with which they are all brainwashed, is reality. In order to break free from the lie, Neo was encouraged to take the “red pill” that would open his eyes to the truth and launch him on a dangerous pursuit of freedom.

Sinful rebellious humankind wants to escape the limitations of our God-imposed habitation. Satan and those working with and for him, hide the true nature of our world from its inhabitants in order to enslave us under false pretenses. They tell us that the world we live in is more or less doomed and that we need to find somewhere else for a habitation. All the while they hide from us how amazing and plentiful is God’s provision.

Almost everything about our world as presented by our government is contrary to the truth.

Consider the following.

  • We are told that we live on a “fragile” planet. 
  • We are in danger from climate change, asteroids, disease, aliens, and over crowding.
  • Resources are limited and running out.
  • World population needs to be reduced, resources rationed, and energy conserved.

But what does God say?

  • We live on a firmly secured earth enclosed by a solid firmament. Climate change, aliens, and asteroids are not real. Demons, yes, but not aliens.
  • God created the earth with more than enough resources to support a massive population. Otherwise, God would not have commanded us to fill the earth.
  • God said to be fruitful and multiply. Efforts to reduce the population through wars, starvation, abortion, vaccines, etc., like everything else Satan suggests, are in direct violation of God’s commands.

If we would accept that the earth God created is a perfectly designed habitation and seek to bring it more and more in line with God’s original intention under his rule, we would see our lives prosper in a greater way.

Instead, inspired by Satan and our own rebelliousness, we refuse to tell the truth, listen to the truth, or accept our God-imposed limitations. Instead, we try to escape, not realizing that all the while Satan is working his plan to subjugate and destroy the inhabitants of the earth. Thankfully, we know from the Bible that God wins! Eventually the truth will be known. God will create a new heaven and earth in which only righteousness exists. Hallelujah!

It’s Time for Us to Escape This Tottering House of Cards

The “Over Mountain Men” won a decisive battle at Kings Mountain, NC during some of the darkest days of the American fight for independence from England. These intrepid fighters, having been threatened by one of General Cornwallis’ subordinates, decided to hunt him down and destroy him. Ferguson had promised to hang their leaders and burn their settlements, if they did not swing their support to the Crown. Ferguson did not understand these people who had already defied the King by settling in the mountains of what is now Eastern Tennessee, an area designated as Indian territory. These hardy pioneers, who had hewed out a rough existence from the wilderness, were unwilling to be told what to do by a faraway king from another land. They were used to battling Indians and the environment and were ready to die, if necessary, to preserve their freedom from England. Our nation continues to recognize and celebrate their fierce independence and fighting spirit which significantly influenced the outcome of the Revolution.

It is one thing to throw off what might be considered the oppressive rule of a distant tyrant, but it is another matter altogether when such fierce independence manifests itself in opposition to God. 

Since the Garden of Eden, humans in general have been in a prolonged war to throw off God’s rule and the limitations imposed by his Word, the Bible.

This, however, is a war we cannot possibly win. All those engaged in it have been deluded into fighting against the omnipotent ruler of the heavens and earth. King David wrote the following in Psalm Two.

Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed [Jesus], saying, 3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” 4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Psalm 2:1–4 (NKJV)

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s direct command in the garden, they demonstrated that they were unwilling to be limited by what God told them. They chose to transgress or “go beyond” his command not to eat the forbidden fruit. This rebellious desire to go beyond the boundaries set for us has been passed down spiritually to every human being. Our most fundamental sin, therefore, is our refusal to acknowledge God’s right to rule over us. This is why it is essential that we confess that Jesus is Lord, if we want to be rescued from the bondage and death that resulted from our rebellion.  (Romans 10:9-10)

The choice willingly to come back under God’s rule is the key action we must take to be restored to favor with God. Christ’s lordship is the focus. Acknowledge it and live. Defy it and be destroyed.

If we willingly bow the knee to Jesus, our sins are forgiven, we are restored to a proper relationship with God, and become one with the Holy Spirit, who is the fountain of eternal life. God begins to live his life through us, transforming us from the inside out to be more and more like him. We are promised that one day Jesus will raise our mortal bodies from the dead, after which we will share in his glory and rule for all eternity! Hallelujah!

However, there is another group of people who will not bow the knee to the Lord Jesus and insists that he has no right or say in their lives. They fiercely resist his rule and refuse to be limited or governed by his Word, the Bible.

But his people hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want him to be our king.’ Luke 19:14 (NLT)

The Bible says that these people make up the world system. They hate Jesus and his Word (the Bible) as much or more than the Over Mountain Men hated the King of England and his laws. This refusal to be limited by what God has revealed and commanded in the Bible manifests itself in many ways. It shows up very clearly in theoretical astrophysics. If we reject God’s description of the heavens and earth found in the Bible and his explanation of origins, we must come up with an alternate theory, one that, by default, is in error.

Whatever begins with false assumptions, will always lead to deep deception.

God’s Word is always true (John 17:17); therefore, we become opponents of truth in any area in which we resist the final authority of God’s Word.

It disturbs me that so many who acknowledge that Jesus rose from the dead still have reservations about accepting the authority of his Word regarding the origin and nature of the earth and heavens. If in any area we put more faith in the proclamations of men than in God’s Word, such as cosmology, we ally ourselves with the world system ruled by Satan, whose subjects prefer lies over truth, Satan over God, darkness over light, and death over life. (John 3:19-20)

Jesus addressed the religious leaders of Israel, who thought they were spiritually minded, but were actually under Satan’s rule. He told them that they were unable and unwilling to hear and believe the truth he spoke because they were children of the devil. (John 8:43-45) Those who have not been reborn by the Holy Spirit instinctively hate the truth and spurn God’s Word. Those in the  world system highly esteem what God hates and hate what God loves. (Luke 16:15)

Whatever the world praises is most likely something that opposes God’s rule and defies the words of the Bible.

About a year ago I became convinced that the heliocentric model, which includes the spherical earth, is a lie that opposes the clear teaching of Genesis Chapter One. Holding this position puts me at odds with what most people believe is the truth about the cosmos, which, I contend, is a house of cards, built on a most shaky foundation of lies that leads to great deception.

When we begin with an assumption that contradicts the Bible, we cannot help becoming entangled in a web of deception.

Satan does not deceive us just for fun. He is not a mischievous prankster. His end game is to destroy us.

The highly esteemed heliocentric model, which opposes God’s Word in almost every way, is detestable in the eyes of God but idolized by mankind.

Those of us who have placed our faith in the Lord Jesus are faced with a choice: shall we embrace the Bible and turn our backs on the heliocentric lie, which will require us to endure the scorn of men, or shall we take the easy way out and go along with the lie?

The foundation of theoretical astrophysics is slowly eroding as more and more people are waking up to the truth about the earth’s design. The deceptions connected to the space program are unraveling before our eyes.  The king has no clothes! Eventually the lies supporting this massive deception will be exposed. The house of cards built on the heliocentric lie is under God’s judgment. It is in danger of imminent collapse. Tension escalates as to the fate of those who are still inside. Will they get out before the whole thing comes crashing down?

For a long time now, it seems that God has “winked” at the deception surrounding globe earth, but that time is coming to an end.

I believe a time is approaching when having the right cosmology will save us from falling for Satan’s next big lie. Let’s put our faith in what agrees with the Bible. Let’s be steadfast and immovable in our allegiance to God and his Word. If we show allegiance to Jesus and his Word, we will have nothing of which to be ashamed.

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels. Luke 9:26 (NKJV)

Lords of the Universe

God gave man dominion over the earth and reserved heaven for himself.

The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of men. Psalm 115:16 (NASB95)

When God created the earth, he separated the third heaven from the earth below by creating the solid dome called the firmament. (Genesis 1:7) God sits on his throne atop this structure observing all who dwell on the earth below. (Isaiah 40:22)

Under the influence of Satan, who desires to unseat God from his throne (Isaiah 14:13-14), deluded and rebellious people want to be lords of the heavens, too. The first manifestation of this was the tower of Babel, which was built in hopes of reaching into the heavens, thus making a name for mankind, apart from anything granted to him by God. (Genesis 11) Such unlawful grasping after glory is the exact opposite of the attitude of our Lord Jesus, who humbled himself to become a man to reconcile us to the Creator.

Paul wrote:

who [Jesus], although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:6–11 (NASB95)

As a result of his self-effacing humility and complete submission to God’s will, Jesus has been elevated to the grandest position of all. He sits enthroned with God in heaven as Lord over everything in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. As astounding as this is, there is something perhaps even more wondrous that God has done in Christ.

All who put their faith and allegiance in Jesus the Lord are elevated with him to God’s throne.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4–7 (NASB95)

That which Satan sought illegitimately has been granted to all who receive forgiveness and reconciliation in Christ. The gospel offers this supreme honor to all who will receive it, but mankind’s rebellion knows no bounds.

Those who refuse to bow the knee in submission to our Lord still seek to take the heavens illegitimately. We want to be lords of the universe without any help from God.

Although doing such a thing is quite impossible, we imagine we can do it. We dream about it. We fantasize for ourselves a fictional “universe” that we can explore using space ships. We use our amazing technologies of deception to implant the dream of space exploration in the hearts of the young and old alike.

The fictional Copernican – Newtonian universe, complete with its globe earth, has no solid barrier between heaven and earth. In fact, the heaven of the Bible does not even exist, and God is nowhere to be found in this imaginary universe of ours. The only thing impeding us now is the technology to go through something called the Van Allen radiation belts which threaten to kill anyone making the attempt. Oddly, somehow our moon men managed to traverse these belts unscathed long ago, but we apparently lost or destroyed that advanced 1960’s technology and cannot seem to recreate it. (For more information on the amazing technology of that era, I suggest watching Wagging the Moon Doggie video series.) We love movies like the moon landings, ISS videos, Star Trek, and Star Wars, which fuel the fiction that we were destined to roam the heavens at will, going where no man has ever gone before (nor ever will outside of Christ).

As a result of massive deception, fueled by NASA, other space agencies, and the entertainment industry, people love the idea of space exploration and are loathe to be separated from our  rebellious quest to be lords of the universe.

Even many Christians, who ought to know better because of our knowledge of the Bible, have been caught up in this delusional quest. Instead of being content with having dominion over what God has given to us, the earth, we want more and on our own terms. May the Lord open our eyes to see that the heavens belong to God and to those who pledge allegiance to Christ as Lord. There is only one way for us to breach the firmament. His name is Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. For all those who refuse the gospel, heaven is strictly off limits.

Devotion to the Globe Is a Form of Self-Worship

When I first began to share what I have come to believe about the shape and nature of the earth on which we live, I was surprised by the level of animosity and resistance I encountered, even from family, friends, and people who say they believe the Bible. Clearly something beyond intellectual disagreement was at the root of this hatred of all things related to biblical cosmology. It did not matter if I appealed to the Bible for support. Then it dawned on me.

The ubiquitous globe is actually an idol.

It sits in almost every home and classroom. It makes regular appearances in movies, television, and other forms of media. The non-biblical words “globe” and “planet” are used in preference to the biblical word, “earth.” We have completely swallowed the globe lie, “hook, line, and sinker.” We absolutely love our globe! It has become an idol.

The globe idol represents a self-worship of our own intelligence, as opposed to reliance upon God. It stands for our rebellion against the truth of the Bible, and it illustrates our determination to go beyond the confines of the region God assigned to us, called the earth.

Our love for “outer space” is actually a form of rebellion against God in two ways. First of all, it does not even exist. Everything beyond the dome of the firmament is an unknown region, perhaps what the Bible calls the “third heaven,” where God’s throne is located, or perhaps it is the region Jesus called “outer darkness,” a place of judgment, sorrow, and regret. When we devote so much time, effort, focus, and money on an imaginary place, created by our own minds in opposition to what the Bible teaches, it is an escape from reality rooted in rebellion against the truth and God himself.

Secondly, our love for outer space represents our sinful determination to go beyond what God has assigned to us. As I wrote in a previous article, the “grass always looks greener” on the other side of the firmament. We seem determined to discover “truth” for ourselves, rather than rely on what God has revealed in his Word. This goes all the way back to the Garden. Modern evolutionary astrophysics is nothing short of a complete rebellion against God’s Word. The quest to explore “outer space” links us to Satan’s longing to oust God from heaven, one that goes all the way back to the tower of Babel.

Idolatry is the only explanation of why people so ferociously oppose anyone who dares challenge the globe and modern ideas related to astrophysics.

People always hate anyone who threatens their idols. (Judges 6:30) People will fight “tooth and nail” to hold on to their fantasies. Otherwise, one would expect to encounter more intellectual curiosity. One would hope that Christians would seriously consider if their way of looking at the cosmos agrees with what the Bible says. But that is not usually the case. Most of the time one encounters hostility against any attempt to tear down the high place of heliocentrism.

My love for God and biblical truth is what motivates me to remain committed to exposing the satanic deception behind the idolatry of globe earth and modern astrophysics. Is this issue really so important? Yes, it is. May the Lord open our eyes to understand and accept what the Bible says about the heavens and earth. Let us repent of self-worship. May God cause his church to once again esteem what the Bible says above the words, dictates, and opinions of men. Amen.

Heliocentrism Fails Logical Test

Astronomy and astrophysics tends to be extremely complicated when it comes to mathematical calculations and physics. This is because we are dealing with so many unknowns and all we know is derived from what we can observe in the heavens from this place called earth. Another reason for the complexity is to obfuscate matters deliberately so that the average person feels as if he or she is not adequate to even think about such things. It is better to leave it to the experts and simply accept their proclamations as the truth. This devilish strategy has worked amazingly well.

God gave us minds and senses through which we can observe and know the world around us. It is only reasonable to conclude that God, if we first accept that he created all this, wants us to trust in the senses and mind he gave us.

But even more importantly, God wants us to trust what he says more than anything or anyone else, even our own mind and senses. That is one of the most important lessons of Genesis. Adam and Eve failed that test, but you and I have an opportunity to pass it.

The Bible makes it clear that God’s Word is always true. Most of the Christians I know, agree with this principle in theory, but when it comes to practice sometimes we betray that we do not always think so. We have come up with ingenious ways to avoid the plain truth of the Bible. Jesus addressed this sinful tendency, when he said:

Jesus replied, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 7 Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’ 8 For you ignore God’s law and substitute your own tradition.” 9 Then he said, “You skillfully sidestep God’s law in order to hold on to your own tradition. Mark 7:6–9 (NLT)

Jesus warned us that the words of God cannot be “broken,” (John 10:35) meaning that they are inviolable and always true. Jesus should know, since his name is the Word of God, the eternal Logos. (John 1:1 and 1:14) He warned the Jewish leaders on another occasion that they were in error because they did “not understand the Scriptures or the power of God.” (Mark 12:24) We learn from these verses of scripture that we fall into error when we fail to understand and believe what God says in the Bible or when we discount God’s words because we fail to grasp the enormity of his power to accomplish whatever he wishes.

We err when we, for whatever reason, determine that God’s words are not really true after all.

Heliocentrism was advanced most famously by Nicolai Copernicus, who used his powers of reason and deduction to formulate a theory that contradicted what the Bible says and what was generally believed for millennia. He deduced that the sun was the center of the “solar system,” and the earth revolved around it. By what has become known as the Copernican Principle, mankind is now regarded as having minuscule importance in the vastness of a very impersonal and dangerous “universe.”

Genesis Chapter One stands in complete contradiction to heliocentrism.

It declares that the earth the center of things with the sun and moon running a circuit or course over it. The stars are fixed in the dome of the firmament. Man is the focal point of God’s creation and God observes and rules from on high. (Isaiah 40:22) The order of creation in Genesis also makes it impossible for a heliocentric system to have ever come into being. This is why the evolutionary Big Bang theory had to be developed to explain how all we see came to be. It must be either creation or evolution, it seems.

Here is the logical failure of the heliocentric system for all who say they believe God’s Word if true.

  1. God’s Word is always true.
  2. The heliocentric system opposes God’s Word.
  3. Therefore, heliocentrism is a lie.

If heliocentrism is accepted as true, then the following must also be true.

  1. Heliocentrism is true.
  2. Heliocentrism opposes God’s Word.
  3. Therefore, God’s Word is a lie.

Which syllogism do you support? Will we pass the test Adam failed?

The Creation Account Cannot Be Harmonized with Heliocentrism

Syncretism is a sin that results from any attempt to combine worship of a false god with devotion to the one true God.

God commanded the Israelites to destroy the idols of the people who lived in Canaan to protect themselves from their deluding influence.

Watch yourself that you make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, or it will become a snare in your midst. 13 “But rather, you are to tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and cut down their Asherim 14 —for you shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God— 15 otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and they would play the harlot with their gods and sacrifice to their gods, and someone might invite you to eat of his sacrifice, 16 and you might take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters might play the harlot with their gods and cause your sons also to play the harlot with their gods. Exodus 34:12–16 (NASB95)

The people of that day recognized what many today do not understand. Demonic “principalities and powers” often gain influence and even mastery over those who live in certain areas because of sacrifices made to those evil beings in an effort to procure favor and blessings from them. This is spiritual blackmail. In order to protect themselves, invading conquerors often made an effort to appease the local gods of the land they defeated. They would not abandon their own gods but would simply add some new ones. This eclectic religion seemed very practical to them and revealed that they believed that there was not one supreme God over all, but many gods whose authority was regional. This resulted in a syncretistic blending of elements from the various religions into something new, a sort of hybrid religion.

Another definition of syncretism is “the attempted union of principles or parties irreconcilably at variance with each other.”

In a previous article, I showed how biblical creationism and evolutionary thinking are hopelessly irreconcilable. Nevertheless, many well-meaning Christians over the years have caved to societal pressure and tried to combine the two. They did not want to seem “foolish” or “ignorant” of the latest “scientific breakthroughs.” We want to hang on to our Bible beliefs while simultaneously incorporating the anti-biblical beliefs of modern so-called science. Doing this will lead to our doubting the truthfulness of God’s Word. This is always Satan’s end game. He uses “science,” otherwise called “knowledge,” to cast doubt on God’s words.

Syncretism always wars against our allegiance to God and his written Word.

Today, many believers have unwittingly become syncretistic. We have tried to blend heliocentrism with the creation account in Genesis. This toxic mix requires us to deny the order of creation in Genesis Chapter One. This is not a merger of beliefs. It is a hostile takeover. This compromise with lies results in two things. First, it teaches us to distrust and abandon the literal teachings of the Bible, and, secondly, it renders God irrelevant and unneeded, which is exactly the goal of every satanic philosophy and “scientific” system of thought.

Once we choose to make a stand on the Word of God, everything becomes simple. Since the Bible is always true, then anything that disagrees with the Bible is false.

Since heliocentrism, evolution, and the Big Bang theory do not harmonize with the creation account, they are by definition false.

The Bible does not always satisfy our curiosity by giving us the “how” or “why,” but it does give us “what” we need to know. Some things relating to origins and cosmos are simply past our comprehension and “need to know.”King David wrote these words of worship as he pondered the heavens.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; 4 What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? 5 Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty! 6 You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, Psalm 8:3–6 (NASB95)

God intends for us to grow in our knowledge and worship of him. He also wants us to understand that mankind is central to his creation purposes.

The Big Bang theory leaves us thinking that we are inconsequential specks in a vast impersonal universe. We can detect Satan’s hand in this pervasive lie. As a result, many today feel quite hopeless and take the escape route of suicide rather than face a lifetime of meaningless pain.

Coming back to a biblical understanding of creation restores hope to us.

The God who created the earth and seas also made us to inhabit it. Knowing the truth about creation provokes us to want to know our wonderful Creator through our Lord Jesus.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16–17 (NKJV)

How Did We Get Here? Genesis Chapter One or the Evolutionary Big Bang Theory?

Our world view affects every area of thought. It determines our origin, values, purpose, and destiny. Satan has worked long and hard to convince people that the Bible is not a reliable source of information regarding these fundamentals.

At the heart of Satan’s false narrative is the theory of evolution.

The theory of evolution holds that everything in the universe, including life itself, sprang from nothingness, completely by random chance, without the help of a Creator, and developed all by itself into the wonderful complexity we see today. In the evolutionary world view, our origin is by chance, meaning we have no intrinsic value, no purpose beyond reproduction, and no destiny after death.

When Darwin first proposed this theory, those who denied God’s existence pounced upon it because it appeared to give an acceptable scientific basis for atheism. Once evolutionary theory became generally accepted in the “scientific” community, like a giant octopus, it wrapped its tentacles around a wide variety of the “sciences,” including astronomy, geology, sociology, biology, politics, and theology. People began to view most everything through the lens of evolution.

The satanic purpose behind the lie of evolution is to make people doubt God’s existence and the truthfulness of the Bible, thereby enslaving us by robbing us of purpose, value, destiny, and hope.

Evolutionary thought led to the invention of the Big Bang theory by the Belgian Jesuit priest Georges Lemaitre. It has generated other non-biblical theories, such as the multiverse of modern string theory. Once a lie takes hold, it continues to give birth to even more deception.

The seed of evolutionary thinking seems to have been the development of the Copernican model of the “solar system,” which revolutionized how people understood our place in the grand scheme of things. The Copernican Principle, as it is now called, says that the earth is an insignificant speck in an incomprehensibly enormous universe, making human beings “sub-specks” in the cosmos. This egregious lie overturned the Bible’s teaching that the earth is the center of God’s creation, with humans being the crown.

Ideas have consequences, and the outcome of evolutionary thinking has been an abandonment of belief in God and faith in the Bible, exactly as Satan planned.

Many, if not most, astrophysicists now believe that the Big Bang universe self-generated and is still evolving. This absolutely contradicts the Bible, which says God completely created everything in six days. Nothing is still being created. It also directly contradicts the Bible’s order of creation by positing a gradual formation of stars from the chaos of an explosion. These stars eventually, over eons of time, spun off planets and other astronomical bodies. The creation account of Genesis Chapter One states that God created the seas and light on day one. Then he created the solid dome of the firmament on day two. On day three he separated the sea from the dry land and created plants. It was not until the fourth day that he created the sun, moon, and stars. On day five he made sea creatures and birds. On day six, he created land animals and Adam. Then God rested.

If the Bible account offends our sensibilities, we must ask ourselves why?

For thousands of years it was perfectly acceptable. It was only after the introduction of the Copernican model of the cosmos and evolutionary thinking that God’s account came to be regarded as just a story without any “scientific” merit.

Can it be that Satan has hoodwinked us as he did Adam and Eve so long ago?

But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent. 2 Corinthians 11:3 (NLT)

Can you not hear the serpent hissing the same words, “Has God really said?”

For many, belief in what is called science has supplanted honoring God’s Word.

If we reject Genesis Chapter One and its order of creation, we have to come up with some other way for everything to appear. The only other way proposed so far is the Big Bang theory.

It appears we have a choice to make: God’s Word or the Big Bang.

Many of us have managed to pretend we have not abandoned the Bible by calling the creation story mere poetry. Imagine that. When God’s Word contradicts the findings of what is called science, many people of God find it easier and more convenient to abandon the Bible than stand against traditions of men. How sad.

We were created to live by faith in what God tells us, without having to know everything for ourselves.

Satan convinced Adam and Eve to abandon their reliance upon God as their source of truth in a quest for forbidden knowledge. As a result of our first parents’ sin, human beings are now even more susceptible to Satan’s lies. We are drawn quite easily toward any supposed system of knowledge that goes beyond or against what God has revealed in the Bible.

Humans now seem to prefer most anything that contradicts God’s Word.

Our minds are useful tools when we are guided by God’s Spirit and protectively fenced in by God’s revealed truth, but when we diverge from God’s revealed truth, we are quite liable to end up being deceived, just as were Adam and Eve. The only escape from whatever fortress of lies in which we may be caged is to fully embrace the Bible’s teachings, even when it makes us appear foolish in the world’s eyes.

Many believers already have made the choice to reject the lies of the spontaneous evolution of life from non-life.

Isn’t it time to fully accept Genesis Chapter One as God’s true account of creation?

Time to Tear Down the “High Place” of Heliocentrism

I believe we are in a time of reformation. God is exposing ways in which we followers of Christ have made accommodations to paganism so that we can repent.

High Places

When the Israelites conquered the land God promised to give them, he commanded them to destroy all forms of pagan worship to protect the people from their deceptive allure.

Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52 then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places; Numbers 33:51–52 (NASB95)

High places were usually elevated locations where various forms of pagan worship took place. Elevation made people feel closer to God, whose throne is above the firmament. That is why he is often called the Most High. Prior to the construction of the temple of Solomon, God allowed himself to be worshiped at such high places. It was a traditional way to worship with which the people were quite familiar and comfortable.This was genuine worship of the true God, but was not meant to last beyond the building of the temple.

Sadly, the people grew so attached to these forbidden places that they refused to renounce them after the Temple was constructed.

The people were still sacrificing on the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days. 1 Kings 3:2 (NASB95)

The Temple alone was designated as the God’s authorized place of worship and sacrifice.

But you shall seek the LORD at the place which the LORD your God will choose from all your tribes, to establish His name there for His dwelling, and there you shall come. 6 “There you shall bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the contribution of your hand, your votive offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock. 7 “There also you and your households shall eat before the LORD your God, and rejoice in all your undertakings in which the LORD your God has blessed you. 8 “You shall not do at all what we are doing here today, every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes; Deuteronomy 12:5–8 (NASB95)

Worshiping God is a good thing, but to disobey him by doing so at high places instead of the temple was a sin. Solomon dedicated the temple in grand fashion, but it did not take long for him to veer off course. David’s son unwisely and disobediently married foreign (non-Israelite and pagan) wives, who turned his heart away from an exclusive devotion to Yahweh. He consequently built unauthorized high places used to worship other gods. This was doubly evil.

The high places which were before Jerusalem, which were on the right of the mount of destruction which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king defiled. 2 Kings 23:13 (NASB95)

It is difficult for us to understand how someone so wise could do such a thing, but such is the allure and deception of sin. Even though very few of us feel a pull toward bowing down before a statue or other idol, we should not assume that we are immune to idolatry.

Today we have other forms of idolatry that are quite pervasive and highly esteemed by God’s people.

God is jealous for our exclusive devotion (James 4:5) and warned Israel that he would punish them unless they removed the high places. (Psalm 78:58-59, Leviticus 26:30) Over the years, evil kings of Israel and Judah were noted for their worship of false gods and devotion to the high places. Even many of the so-called “good” kings of Judah, who loved God, failed to get rid of the high places. For example, Jehoshaphat, a godly man in many ways, was such a ruler.

He walked in all the way of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the sight of the LORD. However, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places. 1 Kings 22:43 (NASB95)

Why would otherwise devoted servants of God accommodate evil in this way? Were they ignorant? Did they view this transgression as a minor thing? Were they intimidated by the people who were greatly devoted to such unauthorized worship? We can only guess. Perhaps it was all of the above.

The Bible notes three kings who more fully obeyed God by eliminating the high places: Asa, Hezekiah, and Josiah. These men had the courage to oppose high-place-loving citizens in order to please God.

God is looking for wholehearted devotion from his people. Our Lord does not want us to accommodate anything that tends to corrupt that devotion.

Instead of looking for some sort of physical idol, today we should think in terms of how we may have allowed our hearts to become enamored with the ways of the world, which are hostile to the ways of God. (James 4:4-5)

Anything that the world loves should be immediately suspect in our eyes.

The people of the world are devoted to that which is hostile to God because they are of the “flesh,” which bows down to the sinful pull of the old Adamic nature.

because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:7–8 (NASB95)

All of us who have been born again, although we were recreated in the spirit, still have a connection to the flesh, as long as we live in these mortal bodies.

It is easy for us to be swayed into loving what the world loves, unless we have our guard up, understand the truth, and resist the pull. This is a very real danger.

Paul wrote…

But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3 (NASB95)

So what does this have to do with cosmology?

The High Place of Heliocentrism

For the first 5500 years or so after creation, using Bible chronology, most people believed the Bible’s version of cosmology, which looked something like the diagram on the right. Most cultures around the world had their version of the Hebrew concept. The ancient pagan Greeks began to develop the globe version of the earth. They did not have the Bible from which to gain understanding.
Christians up until the time of Copernicus had a geocentric view of the heavens and earth as described in Genesis Chapter One. Then came an astronomical upheaval.

Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton led what has been called the scientific revolution that changed the way people look at the cosmos and, eventually, all of life. They revolted against being “hemmed in” by God’s Word and decided to rely on their own intellect and interpretation of what they could view in the heavens with the naked eye and primitive telescopes.

This revolution began in the garden of Eden. It is based on man’s desire to go his own way and make his own decisions without reference to God’s Word. I wrote another article specifically on this topic. This time the rebellion against God gained momentum because it was clothed in scientific garb, which poses as truth greater than the Bible. These enlightenment men believed that the pursuit of truth and “science” had to free itself from religion and, in particular, the Bible. From that time until the present, secular scientists generally scoff at anyone who uses the Bible as a guide or reference in any sort of scientific inquiry. The age of reason pushed aside the revelation of God’s Word.

Worldly people love going their own way in contradiction to God and the Scripture. The sad thing is that, generally speaking, especially when it comes to cosmology, the church has gone along for the ride, seduced by the siren song that, using science, we can figure out things on our own, thank you. We don’t need the pre-scientific Bible to guide us. In order to camouflage what they were doing, people who say they believe the Bible is God’s Word cleverly decided that Genesis Chapter One and other verses and passages that describe the biblical earth and firmament are mere poetry, not to be taken literally. We learn the literal truth from science.

This brings us to the focus of this article. Many, probably most at this point, well-intentioned Christians have gone along with the world by rejecting Genesis Chapter One as a true account of creation and by accepting the anti-biblical heliocentric lie.

In fact, many are absolutely devoted to heliocentrism to the extent that they will attack and belittle anyone who dares challenge it. This is confusing because generally they are devoted to Christ and have a love for God’s Word, which only goes to show how strong the allure of science is. Instead of the Reformation motto of “sola scriptura,” we have adopted “sola scientia.”

Heliocentrism is an unauthorized and untrue version of God’s creation. To say that God made the cosmos after this fashion is unbiblical, untrue, and God-dishonoring and paves the way toward evolutionary astrophysics and atheism.

We should never say that God did something that he did not do. As I see it, this is akin to worshiping God in an unauthorized high place. Both were outside the bounds of Scripture and dishonored God.

In a previous article, I showed that heliocentrism is rooted in the occult and is a form of sun worship.

I realize that this is a “hard pill to swallow” for those indoctrinated in modern astrophysics. We have been taught that the Big Bang expanding universe which contains our solar system is proven science, but, sadly, it does not agree with what the Bible teaches nor has it been proved. It is mere conjecture at best.

This places us in a crisis of obedience. Will we accept what modern science teaches or what the Bible declares, no matter what it might cost us?

Adam and Eve failed their test in the garden when they believed the serpent’s lies above God’s truth. We dare not make the same mistake!

Genesis Chapter One states that God first created the earth, making it absolutely central. On the fourth day he created the sun, moon, and stars, placing them in the immense crystalline structure called the firmament. Nothing is said about other so-called planets. God only made the earth, sun, moon, and the stars. You can read more about this in another article I wrote about the Genesis testimony. 

This means that the sun, for example, serves the earth, rather than the other way around. It also means that the sun runs a “circuit” around the earth (Psalm 19:6), rather than the earth revolving around the sun. Consequently, the sun is much smaller and much closer than we have been led to believe. The image on the left is a cartoon, not reality.

We must either believe the Bible and reject modern astrophysics or accept modern astrophysics and consign Genesis to the realm of scientifically meaningless “poetry.” However, once we start down the road of deciding which words of God are actually true and which can be safely disregarded, we are in dangerous territory.

There is nothing in the Genesis account that allows us to classify it as poetry, except our devotion to the supposed science behind heliocentrism.

In my opinion, this is loving a pagan philosophy more that the Bible.

When Christians put their trust in the dictates and pronouncements of modern astrophysicists instead of in God’s Word, it is a form of idolatry.

Here is a simple syllogism.

  • If God’s Word is true and Jesus is the truth personified (John 14:6),
  • Then, any time we value and honor a lie over the truth (the Bible and Jesus), we commit idolatry.
  • Therefore, if we believe the lie of heliocentrism instead of God’s Word, it is idolatry.

If this line of reasoning is correct, and I believe it is, then many Christians are inadvertent idolators.

One of the high places destroyed by Josiah was devoted to the sun god.

He did away with the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the surrounding area of Jerusalem, also those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations and to all the host of heaven. 2 Kings 23:5 (NASB95)

He did away with the horses which the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the official, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire. 2 Kings 23:11 (NASB95)

When Copernicus published his book that theorized that the sun was the focal point of supposed planetary orbits, he paid homage to the sun god.

When the United States supposedly sent astronauts to the moon, they named the entire mission after Apollo, the sun god. His horses and chariot were part of the mission logo. This is no accident. NASA’s origins were steeped in the occult, and nearly every mission or undertaking is named with pagan allusions. But that is another topic.

I realize that most of us Christians who ascribe to heliocentrism are not conscious idolators. In fact, we are repulsed by such an idea. Nevertheless, heliocentrists inadvertently honor Satan with their pagan beliefs. To claim that God created a heliocentric solar system is misguided at best. No artist would want credit for creating something that is totally contrary to his values and intent.

The Bible says that the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament his handiwork. (Psalm 19:1) Even Christian heliocentrists are able to glorify God when they consider the heavens, but they are doing so despite the godlessness connected with Big Bang cosmology. As I wrote elsewhere, the Big Bang – Heliocentric Worldview is essentially atheistic by design. Jesus said we can know a bad tree by the fruit it produces. It is no accident that most leading proponents of modern astrophysics are atheists.

The Genesis version of cosmology requires us to recognize the handiwork of God. There is no way that we live within the protection of the firmament unless God created it that way. It could never have happened via the chaos of an explosion. Just as surely as the turtle pictured on the left did not get on top of the fence post by himself, neither did the firmament create itself.

It is extremely difficult to be an atheist when God’s true version of creation is recognized, and that is exactly why it is so important for the church to abandon pagan heliocentrism and embrace the truth.

Biblical cosmology can help people turn to God. We need to be different from the world system. We need to stand for God’s truth. The world may laugh at us for holding to our conviction that the Bible is true, but perhaps they will respect us for being steadfast to what the Bible teaches.

I think the world already laughs at us when we try to blend modern astrophysics with the Bible. They know it is a contradiction and an accommodation.

My prayer is that God will lift the veil of deception. May the Lord remove the “scales” from our eyes so that we can finally see the truth about his glorious creation and tear down the high place of heliocentrism. The good news is that the Bible is 100% trustworthy and true regarding everything it says, even cosmology. How gloriously comforting it is to know that God is looking down on us from his throne above the firmament. He is very near indeed. One day that firmament will be rolled back like a scroll, revealing Christ in all his glory. The entire earth, this terrestrial plane, shall see him all at once! Come, Lord Jesus!

The Occult Religion of Heliocentrism

Heliocentrism is regarded as an established scientific fact by most of the church in the West. It will probably come as a great shock for many to discover that, first of all, it is not scientifically proven, and, secondly, it is an occult religion.

Heliocentrism Has Not Been Scientifically Proven

Leading astrophysicists over the last five hundred years agree that it is impossible to prove the heliocentric theory through observation from the earth. Models can be constructed that will explain all astronomic phenomena using either the geocentric or heliocentric position.

People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations, For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations. You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that.    —Cosmologist George Ellis, in Scientific American, “Thinking Globally, Acting Universally”, October 1995

J.D. Bernal stated:

[Copernicus’] reasons for his revolutionary change were essentially philosophic and aesthetic,” and in a later edition he is more convinced that the “reasons were mystical rather than scientific”   —J. D. Bernal, Science in History, 1st edition, London, Watts, 1954; 2nd edition, 1965).

Conversely, empirical experiments, such as Airy’s Failure and the Michelson-Morley experiment,  prove that the earth is at rest.

The data [of Michelson-Morley] were almost unbelievable… There was only one other possible conclusion to draw – that the earth was at rest. – Physicist Bernard Jaffe, Michelson and the Speed of Light, 1960, p.76.

The only alleged proof we have that seems to prove heliocentrism are the images of a spherical earth suspended in space provided by NASA. That agency has lied to us so often that it is unreasonable to accept as true anything it offers.

Einstein, who accepted that the earth’s revolution around the sun was a given, developed his theory of special relativity to explain away the unexpected results of the Michelson-Morley experiment. His conclusion was that it is impossible for us to tell whether the earth is moving or the sun, moon, and stars. How convenient! Satan always has a clever counter argument that defies all sound reasoning but baffles those who accept that the “experts” are so much smarter than we are that we cannot hope to ever comprehend their wonderful insights. That is how brainwashing works.

Heliocentrism Is an Occult Religion

Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: ‘Ye must have faith.’ —Max Planck

[Copernicus’] work, published in 1543, was called On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres. It stated that the center of the universe was a spot somewhere near the sun…The scheme met the requirements of philosophical and theological belief in circular motion. In every other respect, however, Copernicus struck at the heart of Aristotelian and Christian belief. He removed the Earth from the center of the universe and so from the focus of God’s purpose. In the new scheme man was no longer the creature for whose use and elucidation the cosmos had been created. His system also placed the Earth in the heavens, and in doing so removed the barrier separating the incorruptible from the corruptible.  —James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed, p. 135

Both Copernicus and Isaac Newton were devotees of Egyptian “hermetics,” an occult pursuit of alchemy that supposedly originated with Hermes (hence, “hermetics”) Trismegistus from ancient Egypt, according to Masonic author, Albert Mackey. Here are Copernicus’ own words. Judge for yourself.

In the middle of all sits Sun enthroned. In this most beautiful temple could we place this luminary in any better position from which he can illuminate the whole at once? He is rightly called the Lamp, the Mind, the Ruler of the Universe: Hermes Trismegistus names him the Visible God, Sophocles’ Electra calls him the All-seeing. So the Sun sits as upon a royal throne ruling his children the planets which circle round him. The Earth has the Moon at her service. As Aristotle says, in his On Animals, the Moon has the closest relationship with the Earth. Meanwhile the Earth conceives by the Sun, and becomes pregnant with an annual rebirth.  —Nicolaus Copernicus , De Revolutionibus, Of the Order of the Heavenly Bodies

Copernicus uses unmistakable religious language that elevates the sun, Helios or Sol, to god status.

Heliocentrism
Christianity
Sun is enthroned as Ruler of the cosmos. Jesus is enthroned at the Father’s right hand as King of Kings
The Sun has a temple. The church is the temple inhabited by God’s Spirit
The Sun is the Lamp that illuminates all things. Jesus is the Light of the world.
The Sun is the “mind” of the cosmos. God is the Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer.
The Sun is the Visible God. Jesus is the Word of God become a man.
The Sun is all seeing. Only God is omniscient.
The Sun rules the earth and the planets. God is ruler of the earth. The sun runs a circuit over the earth as a servant to it (Psalm 19:6). There is no such thing as a planet, only “wandering (planetes) stars (asters – lights, luminaries). (Jude 13)
Sun sires life on earth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. His light is the light of men. (John 1:4)

The Copernican conclusion is that, via “gravity,” the sun rules the earth and the other “wandering stars,” which are all named after pagan gods and goddesses. Put another way, the sun controls the earth, keeping her in submission to Helios or Sol, which are names associated with Satan himself.

NASA images of the sun make it out to be a raging, threatening nuclear inferno that threatens to engulf and annihilate everyone on earth, another clear reference to Satan and hell. The actual sun looks nothing like NASA’s image.

Sir Isaac Newton’s theory of universal gravitation lends scientific credibility to heliocentrism. He was a secret alchemist, who wrote more than a million words about that occult art of trying to transform inferior substances into gold. Michael White, in his book, Isaac Newton, the Last Sorcerer, quoted John Maynard Keans, who said that Newton was the “last of the magicians, the last of the Babylonians.” (pp.2-3) His theory of universal gravitation, according to Dickson White in his book, A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology, was “destined to be fatal to the old theory of creation.” (Vol. I, 15) Anyone who believes the Bible is the standard of all truth should question the truthfulness of the theory of universal gravitation. Things fall down at a certain rate of acceleration until they encounter a medium of greater density, or they rise until they encounter a medium of less density. In no way does this prove that all masses exert  force on one another. It also assumes the existence of a vast vacuum called “outer space,” which is nowhere taught in the Bible. 

According to God’s Word, all heavenly lights are contained in the vault of the firmament. None of these lights are said to be solid spherical objects that are part of an evolutionary ever expanding universe. When we observe the stars and “planets” through a telescope, they do not look like NASA’s computer generated images.

Newton claimed to have discovered mathematical and physical proof for the principles found in occult hermetic writings.

Newton was also a fan of Hermes Trismegistus and translated one of his books, The Emerald Tablet, into English. One of the quotes from this book obviously influenced Newton’s work regarding gravity. He said, “The sun’s force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.”

Lynn Picknett, writer for the the gnostic New Dawn Magazine, embraces the hermetic roots of Copernican Heliocentrism:
 
“Essentially, Copernicus was claiming to have found mathematical and physical proof for the principles that are set out– without proof– in the Hermetic books. Contemporary Hermeticists certainly regarded him as a hero for vindicating their sacred texts.” (November-December, 2011)
 

Johannes Kepler, another highly regarded astronomer from that period, wrote in his book titled, Of the Harmony of the World:

“a very few days after the pure Sun of that most wonderful study begin to shine, nothing restrains me, it is my pleasure to yield to the inspired frenzy, it is my pleasure to taunt mortal men with the candid acknowledgment that I am stealing the golden vessels of the Egyptians to build a tabernacle to my God from them, far, far away from the boundaries of Egypt…I cast the die, and I write the book.” (translated by E.J. Aiton, 1997, p.391)
 
Trismegistus came up with the heliocentric idea of heavenly spheres orbiting the sun.
 
“For the sun is situated at the centre of the cosmos, wearing it like a crown. Around the Sun are the six spheres that depend from it: the sphere of the fixed stars, the six of the planets, and the one that surrounds the Earth.” (Hermetica: The Greek Corpus Hermeticum and the Latin Asclepius)
 
Newton effectively legitimized pagan sun worship by giving it an apparent scientific basis, much as Charles Darwin provided a scientific rationale for those wishing to abandon the acknowledgement of a Creator with regard to the origin of life.
No lie has has more effectively turned people away from acknowledging the Creator than heliocentrism and its corollary, the Big Bang.
 
A false explanation of creation presents a false testimony of the Creator.
Even Christians have succumbed to this strong delusion and have been willing to abandon the clear testimony of Scripture in Genesis Chapter One regarding the origin and design of the cosmos in favor of what is called “science.” I believe that God is awakening his church to the truth about the earth and heavens and calling us to repent from elevating pagan cosmology above the clear teachings of the Word of God.
