P.S. what a beautiful picture

Looks like one of those hippie lava lamp shades.

Yes, because it proves God.

How many miles is that in American units?

Do you want to buy a nice bridge from me? It's real cheap.

You want to see some real beauty in the Heavens?



That is the Whirlpool Galaxy. How could a cross form by chance? Simple answer: It couldn't. This is proof that Jesus Christ died for our sins and God has imprinted this as His signature upon the Universe. You don't see the symbols of Islam or Judaism being represented in the night sky, do you?

Looking for the cross in star pictures, or toast, or in everyday life is a cheap shot. Its a really easy shape to make. Its just two lines crossing at a right angle.

[Rev. Jim Osborne]

It's clearly a crucifix though! You can see Jesus's head, then his knees bent and everything.

Seriously, it’s all hogwash, isn’t it? Nevertheless, there will be atheists coming along and telling us it’s real! Ha! Their delusions and credulity amaze me.

Every single point sounds a lot like your god.

Its easier to believe in conspiracy than hard work by scientists isnt it. I wish so very badly i could guide you through an intro kinematics course at a college, it answers all your questions.

The only bodies attracted to each other are young men and women, (except in San Francisco where like attracts like).

As I explained elsewhere, GPS, and other geo-stationary satellites are stuck in the firmamment above the earth. That is why they are called 'stationary'.

Correct. And not , as some people believe, becausethey are made of paper.

oh here we go, in 1631:

Wicked Bible on free public display in British Library, London.

How'd this one get by His editor?
The world is either flawed or perfect, and im not seeing a lot of perfect.

Did we say we follow KJV 1631? No, we follow the only true form of God's word which is KJV1611.

At least do a little research on something you're researching, jeeez!

Just to mention, the GPS satellites aren't geostationary. They pass across the sky once every 12 hours, so don't remain stationary relative to the Earth.

Special satellites that broadcast correction data for WAAS & EGNOS are in geostationary orbits above the equator.

You atheists certainly have a lot of faith in prevaricating false scientists.

Indeed they are. But the GPS sattelites are in a lower orbit that results in them moving reletive to the surface of the Earth, so they probably aren't stuck to anything.

I'm not suggesting you people are wrong or anything. Geostationary satelites may well be attached to the firmamment. I'm just pointing out that the GPS satellites are not geostationary.

Please explain how you can tell whether the satellites are moving or the firmament is moving? It would look the same. And the bible tells us their is a firmament and that the earth is a flat circle. What was it about my explanation about the Hebrew words that you did not understand? I covered this in detail.

It just so happens we accept God's inerrant Word as found in the 1611 King James Bible where each of those words were God-breathed. You on the other hand are willing to put your faith in lying atheist scientist and you do not have the background to tell their lies from the occasional truth.

Have you ever been in space to see exactly where those so-called satellites are, or even if they exist in the first place? Or is it a leap of faith on your part?

Well, even if some GPS sattelties were attatched to the firmament, not all GPS satellites are in the same orbit. There's 6 different planes on which the GPS sattelites orbit, so if the firmament is going along the path of one, it can't be going along the other paths.

Besides, this sidesteps the main issue here. Saying that simply means that instead of the GPS satelites moving against the firmament, the geostationary satelites now move against the firmament

Well, I haven't been to see them up close, any more than I haven't been to see Hawaii. Although it's nice to watch them go overhead on a clear night.

Besides, I'm not denying your firmament model, which is no doubt true to God's word. I just wanted to point out that GPS satellites are not geostationary. you can watch them crawl across the sky, if you have a suitably powerful telescope or something that can here in the microwave range. Prehaps you could have chunks of the firmament moving around separately to the main disc.

Why are you bothering us then? This is a Christian forum. Are you even a Christian?

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

TBH, all this yattering about satellites is so much bunkum. As the earth's flat, satellites aren't required; just a tall antenna or two.

Because I enjoy discussing things such as this. It's excellent mental exercise.
