Man or Monkey

Another idea that I find totally absurd is the "Big Bang Theory". The notion that everything came from nothing...that something exploded and everything came into being...and they call Christians stupid for believing in an intelligent creator. I much prefer to think I had a loving creator than believe I somehow evolved over time from a monkey. 

I have yet to see something explode and create anything but devastation. I have never seen a pile of anything develop into a complicated piece of machinery with intelligent design. Anyone would agree that a beautiful skyscraper requires engineers, architects, and skilled laborers working for months or years, and yet we're expected to believe that the most complicated piece of machinery that exists (the human being) required no creator at all... not to mention all the variations of animals, flowers, trees and birds.

I have not seen or heard of any new species of animal. Nor have I heard of a human being evolving from a monkey or anything else. There are still monkeys and they are not anymore evolved than they were. And yet people still cling to that belief, vehemently defending it while calling anyone who doesn't agree with them "Stupid". I'm sorry, but that theory requires that you throw out all common sense...it's more of a fairy tale than the Creation account.

They are teaching this to our children in schools as absolute fact. Forcing them to accept it whether they agree with it or not. Some kids have been taught and believe in the Bible's version of how we got here. They are not even allowed to mention Creation as an alternative viewpoint.

Why would it be so hard to imagine that they have done the same thing with knowledge of the earth's shape? They do it with everything else. They've taken prayer out of schools and any public events. You can't mention, God, Christ or Christmas. Does anyone see a pattern here?

What are they trying to hide or promote, and why? If God isn't real, why is it such a threat to them? What would it matter what we believe? It seems to me that they know God is real, otherwise why would they try so hard to keep people from knowing about Him or believing in Him?

I would much rather believe in God, than put my faith in a Scientific theory for which they have absolutely no proof. What does one gain from believing in evolution or a big bang. I know what I gain from believing in God . . . Eternal Life!

God Said it and That's Good Enough for Me

Does God care about the shape of the earth, whether it's flat, round or pear shaped? I think he does. It's his creation. Does he want us to know what the truth is about this earth he created especially for us? All I can say is, the very first chapter in the very first book of the Bible, Genesis, is devoted to this very topic. "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth" and then it goes on to describe it in vivid detail. So, yes, I think he does want us to know. If we've been being lied to about God's creation, I think we should try to find out just what the truth about it is.

Satan is the father of the lie. That's what he does...he lies about everything God says and turns it backwards. Why would what God says about his earth be any different? Why do people find it so hard to believe that they may have been lied to about this? Why is it so hard to believe that the earth we live on may indeed be flat and not spherical? I think it will be the same way with evolution in a few years. People who grew up only knowing evolution as an explanation of how we got here, will find out one day that they've been deceived their whole lives and will try to cling to their monkey ancestors rather than listen to any logic presented.

God created the earth and everything in it for our home and placed us in it. I think he should know more than anyone what the shape of it is and about it's placement in the heavens and the placement of the Sun, Moon and stars, and their function.

I would take God's word before I would take the word of Scientists or Evolutionists. They would do or say anything to discredit God or the idea of a Creator. They want to take people's minds away from God. They are always trying to disprove Creation.

It's important, because, I think if people found out the truth, that they live on a flat, enclosed (dome, firmament) earth, that is "geocentric" and not "heliocentric" therefore making it the center of God's creation and not just one of billions of Planets and Universes, they would realize, that there is a God, that we were created, that the Bible is true, and Satan, the world, scientists, governments, Nasa, etc are liars. So there's a lot a stake for them. They have a lot vested in this lie and will do anything to keep it from our discovery.

They've done a pretty good job of it so far, but people are starting to wake up and see beyond the lies, and question things that don't make sense.

*But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. (Hebrews 1:2)
*Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. (2 Peter 3:3)
*Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies. (Exodus 5:9)
*Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (1 John 4:1)

My thought process on this is, it certainly can't hurt to look into the matter. What do we have to lose . . . do we have anything vested in the globe except maybe our pride? I for one want to know!

All this I tested by wisdom and I said, “I am determined to be wise —but this was beyond me." (Ecclesiastes 7:23)

Flat Earth Proves Creation

There are so many components to "Flat earth". I know I've been on this topic for a while now, but I think it's important to know if we have been walking around for the past 1500 years under the impression that we live on a sphere, that we revolve around the sun, believing it to be the center of the Universe and that the sun is supposedly 93 million miles away. Wouldn't you want to know if that were not the case...that we have in fact been lied to all of our lives and the complete opposite is true? What do your own senses tell you? Not what you have been taught and brainwashed to believe, but what your own common sense dictates. When I look up at the sun it seems so close. I think, How could it possibly be 93 million miles away? Just how big would it have to be for us to see it as large as it appears down here? Truth is, it actually is the size it appears and is probably around 3,000 miles from earth. The moon also is the size and distance it appears to be. The earth is the center of the so called "Universe" and the sun and moon revolve around us. The moon gives off its own light, not reflected light from the sun. Experiments have proven that the moon's light is a cold light, not hot like the sun.

It is exactly as stated in Genesis, in the Bible's account of Creation, which says, and I'm paraphrasing:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void. God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light...and God divided the light from the darkness.  God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.  God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,  and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. I also see no reference to planets in this account (does not mean God did not create them) just saying.

Other places in the Bible where the earth is referred to as fixed, Immoveable and stretched out (flat) This is but a few, there are more:

*Job 37:3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. *(Speaks of the ends of the earth, a round globe doesn't have ends.)
*Job 37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? *(Speaks of the sky, firmament as being hard perhaps like a dome).
*Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? *(Again the ends of the earth are referred to.)
*Job 28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; *(Ends of the earth ...a globe has no ends.)
*1 Samuel 2:8: For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, And He set the world on them.  *(speaks of the earth being on pillars)
*1 Chronicles 16:30: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable." *(Firm and immovable)
*Joshua 10:13: And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. *(This is one of my favorites, because it states the sun (and moon) stood still, inferring that it is the sun that revolves around the earth, not the other way around.)
*Proverbs 8: 27 When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep. *(Inscribed or etched a circle not a sphere . . . the writers knew the difference of both words.)
*Proverbs 8:29: When He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth;
*Psalm 93:1: "Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm"
*Psalm 96:10: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable"
*Psalm 104:5: "Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken."
*Psalm 136:6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy(Stretched out, as in flat . . . how do you stretch out a globe?)
*Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
*Isaiah 45:18: "...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast"
*Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth... *(Four corners...a globe does not have corners).

Of course, if you don't believe in God or the Bible, then these scriptures would mean little or nothing to you. However, if in fact it turns out that the earth really is flat, that in and of itself would prove the Bible to be true and in turn confirm the existence of a Creator God.

In summation the Bible states that the earth is fixed and immoveable, stretched out as in flat, a circle, as in flat not spherical, having four corners and that he placed the sun, moon and stars in the firmament and determined their paths. It does not say anything about a sphere, planets or outer space. It really puts things in perspective. It places us at the center of creation and makes us not some random accident.
