How do you know that's correct?

Your move.

God never made a retraction.
The simple reality is that everything is exactly as defined in the Bible. There has not been any other books about it because, it would be pointless. How many numbers do you have on the curb in front of your house identifying it? Just one, any more would be simply redundant and pointless.

Do you know why 'scientists' had been compelled to 'invent' all this hokum about the speed of light, planets, stars, gravity and on and on and on? Jealousy. Pure and simple.
James 3:16
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

James 3:14-15
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

I stand corrected on the judgement front. I apologise for my ignorance there. I still feel it is rather a pretentious thing to do but as you take guidance from the Bible and it says it's alright then it's not my place to contest.

And I don't believe it would be twisting God's words to turn science to reflect the Bible. There have been many great scientists who have discovered many great things and when questioned on the conflict between science and religion they have said that they are only discovering the workings of His creation. Many Big Bang theorists say that only God could have initiated that first spark that created the Big Bang as there was nothing before and, it is my personal belief, that it is still a literal interpretation of the Bible to say that God created Man through evolution as eventually the apes etcetera came to be mankind. He could have guided it that way too. Though, I understand that the theory of evolution contradicts the Bible on the issue of timescale as well but I present it only as an example.

Fence-sitter or not, I was raised Christian (Anglican) but I had too many issues with the Bible to put my faith into it and live my life by it. I don't rule out God etcetera. I merely doubt the authenticity of a book written, published and distributed by man. Thank you for the replies. May your God bless you. :-)

Do not apologize for being correct sir. He who is who is without sin cast the first stone. Meaning that all these people who are judging people like us, are in fact doing more harm than good, and are in fact sinning. So as jesus said, Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. These "christians" obviously completely disregard Jesus' teachings.

How do you know God said "Let there be light"?

That sounds like the so called biggest bang: where God said 'let there be light'.

Oh honey, you tried...the think your thinking of is a light switch, and the Universe doesn't have on of those. The light stays on.

Light does don't travel. That is just silly. I cannot put light in my car and drive it somewhere and then release it.

Oh honey....its called a push button night light....you could release it into the wild. But only if you want too. If you do though, make sure you teach it how to fish because then it'll learn to survive on its own.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

What kind of logic is this. Light is either on or off.

If it contradicts the Bible, then it's proof that the Bible is incorrect.

No, you've got it backwards. Anything that contradicts the Bible is incorrect. If I observe something that seems to contradict the Bible, I will believe God's Word over my eyes every single time.

2nd Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" away?

Is English your first language? I ask because these two sentences don't make sense:

...The star light from the galaxies are millions of light years away. Most of them you would need to see from telescopes...

[Brother Harold Porter]

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" away?

In a sense, yes. The star light from the galaxies are millions of light years away. Most of them you would need to see from telescopes. If it contradicts the Bible, then it's proof that the Bible is incorrect.

Why are you here?

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" away?

So the. You agree that secularists claim that star light is millions of years old in direct contradiction of the Bible.

The Andromeda galaxy is the farthest object we can see naked-eye.

Galaxy's are built of stars so if you you can see the light from the Galaxy it must be from stars.

Did you even read my post?

The most distant visible star is probably no more than 2500 L

I'm talking about individual star. The Andromeda galaxy is the farthest object we can see naked-eye.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" away?

Seriously, the answer is in the wording.

Andromeda isn't a star. It's a galaxy. 'Andromeda Galaxy'

Galaxy's are built of stars so if you you can see the light from the Galaxy it must be from stars.
