Heliocentricity or Geocentricity?
Which is right? Why is it important to even consider the matter in this day and age when anything can be researched, sought out and proven?
Paul cautioned Timothy to avoid the oppositions of science, falsely so called.
1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 1Ti 6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.
We learn some things from the above verse. One, there is a type of science which opposes scripture. Paul classified as “science, falsely so called.” Secondly, it’s a false science, which, if a man professes, will cause error concerning the faith. Logically, we conclude there must be a true science, which will compliment, and confirm the scripture.
Finally, we conclude only one type of science can be true.
History tells us medical science, in the process of advancing transfusions, discovered as recently as World War II, that the life force of man resides in his blood.
Lev 17:14 For [it is] the life of all flesh; the blood of it [is] for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh [is] the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
The bible declared that fact several thousand years earlier, but man's science doesn't use that book as a source material.
It took men a long, long time to figure out the earth wasn’t flat and resting on the back of a huge turtle. But the scriptures told us all along if we would only carefully heed.
Isa 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:
And the fact the earth is wider at the equator than at the poles? We can deduce from the verses in Psa 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
You can travel to the North Pole and once you get there, if you continue on the same path, you will soon be traveling South. However, you can journey West forever and never change directions. You will never arrive at a point on the same direction where you are suddenly on a eastward jaunt.
The scriptures have a lot to say about the earth and its position in the universe. And those verses are likely to spark more than a little discussion.
No matter what stand science and the world takes, we confidently rest on what the scriptures declare. While man may debate whether the animals needed to continue life could all be contained on Noah’s ark, we understand by faith the ark was sufficient to accomplish the instructions God gave to Noah. When man says the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, we stand on God’s word and say nay, but 6000 years.
Evolutionists will insist our universe is ever-expanding and we are the result of transformation over millions of ages. We point to the scriptures and tell one and all the Heavens declare the Glory of God – and they were declared in six, twenty- four hour days.
So we do stand strong against the fallacies of science, when we know the scriptural facts. But now we have a controversy before us about which few have been educated. Wait – let me state it this way: We’ve been educated incorrectly, in clear defiance of the scriptures.
For nearly a century, science falsely so-called has caused many of us to err concerning the faith. They have dictated an agenda clearly in contrast to the word of God. They have taught a science designed to support and uphold Evolution.
In order for evolution, (which is a “science, falsely so-called” and moreover, a religion unto itself) to be true, the Earth must be older than the 6000 years the Bible declares. In fact, the Earth must also exist in an ever-expanding universe, created from a Big Bang billions of years ago. It is only that expansive theory which allows time for the permutations espoused by false science.
Within these pages you'll see the scriptural references to the sun's travels and see how many times the Bible talks about the earth traveling around the sun. We'll talk about the scientific rule of observance, the seasons, moon phases, tides, eclipses, satellites and history.
Start your study, and come to your own conclusion. There's plenty to think about.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second, it is violently opposed, third, it is accepted as being self evident.
