  • Contemplating the awesomeness of God!  We are told that the Sun is an average size star and that there are trillions and trillions of stars.  It is also said that if you were to put the Sun and the Earth on a map where one inch equals 93 million miles, the Sun would be one inch away from the Earth whereas the very next nearest star after the Sun would be approximately one and a half miles away on that map!

  • They say, "Genesi nihil pulchrius, nihil utilius". If it's hard to remember what happened in the first days of creation, by chapter 2:1, it says, "So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them". 

    Igitur perfecti sunt caeli et terra et omnis ornatus eorum.

  • On cloudy days and eclipses it's easy to recognize that the Sun has the same angular diameter in the sky as the Moon. The reason the Sun appears bigger than that is because of the Earth's atmosphere which captures and magnifies sunlight. If the Earth had no atmosphere or not the one that it does, the Sun would not appear so big.

    There's no proof for it other than the Foucault pendulum and that is a hoax that is driven, damped, and tuned. The fact that that gravity is not at all a lateral force ruins heliocentrism's insane attempts to find some justification in space or nutcase math.

  • My understanding is that Focault pendulum is proof E rotates on axis. It is James Bradley( along w/ Newton) who proves E rev around S... :popcorn:

    Am i the only one in the Forum who has ACTUALLY READ Copernicus? :confused:

    Foucault's pendulum is driven, damped, and tuned. Copernicus had more epicycles than Ptolemy and no proof. If you read Newton's "Principia", you may conclude that he was insane, and Newton was chiefly an alchemist who suffered from recurrent bouts of insanity.

    Copernican theory in terms of the Sun as some stable center is abandoned, and they have moved on to acentrism, which doesn't make any good sense either. But we can call "acentrism" "heliocentrism" for the sake of the same difference in error, which is the idea that the Earth, a simple body and a sphere, is moving at various astronomical velocities at once to orbit the Sun, because of so-called "gravity", which is not even at all a lateral force of the least measure.

    Besides common sense and universal experience, the Bible contradicts Copernicus too.

  • First, let us see where this image of the sun and Earth originated.

    http://destroyerofheresies.blogspot.com/2022/06/a-short-theology-of-climate-change.html

    That done, now doesn't the image look like the heretical heliocentric solar-system of Pythagoras, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and roscoe? Now who would use a heretical picture to warn us that climate change is caused by man's sins. Surely the greatest sin was brought about by concession to Galileo's heresy from 1741 by churchmen themselves. Once popes allowed these changes to Scripture Modernism entered the Catholic Church leading to its demise today.

  • Size doesn’t matter when you can make something from nothing. 

    Size of creatures doesn’t matter when you’re already infinite in size and power yourself. 


    Contemplate the actual Divine attributes instead of fairy tales. And if you want to be impressed by a creature then contemplate the Blessed Virgin Mary.

    While wondering with great awe at the God of all creation whose attributes are infinite, we may still stand back in utter amazement when we contemplate the sizes of things in our material world, this material world which is a reflection, albeit limited, of the infinite greatness of God.  Perhaps, you will find as I do, the following site to be quite amazing as an aid in that regard: https://www.htwins.net/scale2/.

    True.  Anything of a finite size is infinitely small compared to God.  Even if there were a star that were a hundred billion times the size of the sun, it would make no difference and would be no more difficult for God to create.  That is a good meditation on the infinite greatness of God.

    God is Truth and everything you posted after the sentence above is utter nonsense.

    Using terms like small/large/size in reference to the Almighty -- Who is pure Spirit and created all things great and small out of nothing -- seems out of place.
