Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

The reason we have seasons is because the earth is tilted and during the summer, the top half of the earth (The part in which we live) is tilted towards the sun so we get more light and therefore more heat. during the winter, it is tilted away, receiving less light resulting in less heat.

Don't be silly. The reason we have seasons is because the LORD blesses us with them by His Will.

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
And 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.
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good.
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Genesis 1:14-19

And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding
Daniel 2:21

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:3

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Acts 1:7

I am a strong christian and i believe that God and Science can co-exist. For example, sir Isaac Newton was a strong believer who contributed much to science.

Nonsense. If you understood what the scientists actually say, you'll see they leave no room for Christ in any of their calculations. At the very best, they'll suggest God can exist in the "gaps," but they'll continue to decrease the gaps. First they did with physics, removing the Hand of God from the movement in the solar system, then they did with geography, removing the Hand of God from the age of the earth, they're doing it now with biology, removing the Hand of God from biodiversity.

They're just hoping Christians don't take the time to really comprehend what it is they say, and it looks like you've fallen for their tricks.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

You are relying on the calculations of the pastor in the faith that he did the calculations correctly. The place where the pastor messed up is that he assumed that the temperature gradient went all the way to the sun. The temperature gradient is how much the temperature changes the farther away you get from the EARTH.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Rubbish. You are relying on secular science, God hates science;

1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
1 Timothy 6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

And God changes the seasons;

Daniel 2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Read the Bible (KJV only), you might learn something.

God created the tilt in the earths axis and therefore created the seasons.
God doesn't hate science! Nothing in the Bible has never been disproved and historians and scientists continue to prove the bible without meaning too. ask a scientist to scientifically explain the cambrian explosion! He can't! God uses science to prove the existence of a creator. I am a strong christian and i believe that God and Science can co-exist. For example, sir Isaac Newton was a strong believer who contributed much to science.

Oh, and I take it that all of your knowledge was gained from your own personal research? Or are you relying on your FAITH in others?

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

That's interesting. It could also be that the sun gets hotter in the summer and colder in the winter, so that the light wavelength is closer to 570nm in the summer but closer to 580nm in the winter. I'll get my secretary to put in an ad on Craigslist to see if anyone is willing to make a tax-deductible contribution of a new or gently used spectrometer so we can test this out.

Ummm, i don't think anyone disproved any of the FACTS that i posted. i was simply refuting the "proof" that stated that the sun was only 500 miles away. If you can contradict anything i said i am open to correction.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Dumbass, DID YOU READ THE MATHEMATICAL PROOF PASTOR POSTED? Can you refute it?

THEN SHUT UP, ignorant twit!

First things first, yes, i can refute it. The pastor is assuming that the temperature gradient continues into space. the temperature gradient does not continue on into space. Second. the diameter of mercury and venus are way more than 500 miles. The Diameter of mercury is 3,032 miles. the diameter of venus is 7,521 miles. Mercury and Venus are between the earth and sun so it would be impossible for a planet with a 7 thousand mile diameter to fit in 500 miles. Third, THE SUN IS NOT COAL. The sun is made of gas. fourth, the moon is 238,900 miles away from the earth. we have seen the moon pass in front of the sun many times so it must be more than that. The sun's circumference is 2,713,406 miles around, which is plenty big to be seen from a distance. Mercury is 35,980,000 miles away from the sun and has a surface temperature of up to 800 degrees! Venus is 67,240,000 miles away from the sun and has a surface temperature of up to 870 degrees! If the earth was only 500 miles away from the sun we would be roasted alive. God created everything the way it should be, in perfect order. The earth is the perfect distance away from the sun to provide us with life.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

My grand daughter told me that the heat is not directly projecting through an atmosphere, but is being manifest from the Majesty's magnificent rays on our upper atmosphere to produce heat, thereby this color heat distance calculation is quite wrong.

Sir, do you understate how much God has created?

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Not sure God wants us to give the physic numbers. Like electricity: Electricity works when I press the button of the television. I don't need to know that 300 electricity are now behind the screen.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

What's that supposed to mean? Anyway, isn't all of this a bit

JAMES 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. KJV

You would actually have to read the passage to see what it said. I know you don't understand what that means so next let's take a look at your post.

If you were on trial, and the only evidence you could present to defend yourself was 'I didn't do it'

So as you can see what you're suggesting is the Biblical standard.

If you were on trial, the onus is on the prosecution do demonstrate guilt, not on you to prove innocence.

and the prosecution not only flatly contradicted you but did so in many ways using many sources of evidence

well by charging you and the matter actually going to trial is in itself "the prosecution contradicting you" because if you atmitted the charge there would be no trial would there.

God explains about the world He made, all the stars, the fruit trees (designed so as not to poison you), the sun and moon, what to do if your daughter becomes a witch, correct instruction for infants, the route by which Jesus arrived from and returned to Heaven, the reality of angels (including fallen angels), the expedient by which punishment is delivered to Eve and all her descendants, means of locomotion for snakes which is enough to be going on with but there is plenty more and the heathen blurts o yeah wot wurld? wot snakes? starz I'll give you starz! and so on I am beginning to think the stuff you eat IS poisonous, as any Christian knows just look around.

There it is! The world and everything in it! Just as God explains so it is.

God tells us not only how He made the stars but when and where He put them and what will happen to them in the future. You'd have to be mentally ill to deny it.

Is this what passes for jurisprudence in your assylum? I'm glad I don't live there.
