New Science Baloney: The Sun Will Explode

[Johny Joe Hold]

When we True Christians^tm get control of the news media, the first thing we need to do is stop these myths that the sun will one day explode and earth and all people and all life here will be burned to a crisp. God talks in the Bible about eternity. That means forever.

Some pointy-headed scientist claims to have spotted a former "star" that he claims was once a "sun" like ours. Then this atheists says, he has seen in his telescope a piece of ash circling the former star. The circling piece of ash is about the size of a burned-up earth and was burned up when its sun exploded.
Professor Pointy Head then concludes this is the future of our sun and earth. We have a billion years. Then poof, we're toast.

No, Professor Pointy Head, you and your atheist friends may be toast but God has given us an eternity of luxury. Sorry you cannot come along.

I fail to understand, if the sun explodes, how any remaining humans would be available for repentance? Heretics will announce that planet is a former earth, in the article they say as much without commenting on flying octopuses or whatever was supposed to live there, but heresy is stronger than that. It demands that WE now live on THEIR new earth with NEW HEAVENS and NEW STARS and REGENERATED BODIES teleported by God to Eden either as Adam & Eve or in job lots as spouses for their children. Peter's observation applied retrospectively to that planet, they'd tell us.

II PETER https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/2-Peter-3-9_3-12/
3:9 The Lord is not slack . . . not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10a The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night
10b The heavens shall pass away with a great noise
10c The elements shall melt with fervent heat
10d The earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up
11-12 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Christians are not scientifically illiterate. There are primordial elements, stable and unstable elements, even elements of very short duration which physicists are trying to generate now – bringing the basket up to 120, including eka-francium and eka-radium, a nice round number. If the sun explodes, presumably some new primordial elements will emerge of even shorter duration, perhaps up into the two hundreds? Whatever. So far we know that Oxygen is a primordial element, as is Hydrogen, both existing before there were any stars.

Back to the heretics: Peter described events on that planet. Its heavens passed away; its elements melted; it itself was burned up. A new earth popped into being but conditions for its population were very specific.

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Adam qualified. Later, although God had already created them, plants were introduced. Could they have been held in abeyance on this planet pending their relocation to earth?

GENESIS 2 https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Genesis-2-4_2-5/
4a These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created
4b In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens
5a And every plant of the field before it was in the earth
5b And every herb of the field before it grew
5c For the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth
5d And there was not a man to till the ground

It was at Lowell that the only consistent observations of canals, originally termed canale by Secchi (1858) and Schiaparelli (1877), were made. The Encyclopedia Brittanica 11th Edition (1910) doubts their being waterways, noting that their breadth of many miles made it absurd to to call them canals, but believed that the oft-noted seasonal changes were evidence of blue-green vegetation. Lowell maintained that the linear features were indeed of artificial origin.

To what extent does what they see through their telescope align with what they want to see? After all, there used to be "canals on Mars" that today, using a similar instrument, are never identified as such because (they tell us) there aren't any. And in another century or so, using whatever they have for telescopes then or even one of our own antiquated devices, will there be new heresies NOT requiring stellar explosions and incinerated planets? Who knows. Meanwhile, technetium requires 4,000 Fahrenheit to properly melt giving us a ballpark figure for Peter's incineration event, an event for which every Christian yearns, after which OUR new earth will manifest, flying octopuses notwithstanding.

I'm so glad I'm not a heretic!

Everyone knows prophesy is discouraged in the Bible (hint: it's soon though), but talking of the earth ending in a grand fiery explosion is pure fiction. When Jesus returns there will be a lake of molten fire that will not explode except with the fantasies of athiests that thought they were going to get away with it.

Amen, dear Brother Mayor Hold, and — thankfully — when that time comes and when we are dancing in the street, it will be to decent, white music — the type of dignified, refined music that is worthy of the Glory of the . None of that indecent, screaming stuff from Jigaboo Junction!

There will be dancing in the street when Trump is triumphant in November. I cannot wait! (Actually, I can, since I do not possess the ability to make linear time proceed in an accelerated manner. But it is very difficult.)
