    What percentage?

    In your opinion, what percentage of the astrologers and astrophysicist, that work on the Hubble, and the new James Webb telescope, believe that stars fell to earth like figs, or the sun stopped in the sky?

    Where does the Bible mention that already happening?

    "It was then, on the day that Jehovah routed the Amʹor·ites before the eyes of the Israelites, that Joshua said to Jehovah before Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, And moon, over the Valley of Aijalon!” So the sun stood still and the moon did not move until the nation could take vengeance on its enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jashar? The sun stood still in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to set for about a whole day. There has never been a day like that one, either before it or after it, when Jehovah listened to the voice of a man, for Jehovah was fighting for Israel". ~ Joshua 10:12-13

    "And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake occurred; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the entire moon became as blood, and the stars of heaven fell to the earth as when a fig tree shaken by a high wind drops its unripe figs". ~ Revelation 6:12-13

    In the Joshua account mentioned above, it may have actually happened or at least appeared to have happened to the viewers from earth.

    In regard to the Revelation account mentioned above, the Book of Revelation starts by stating: "A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent his angel and presented it in signs through him to his slave John," ~ Revelation 1:1

    Often in the Bible, things are not to be taken literally but are actually Symbolic (presented in signs) and have another explanation or meaning such as, "stars falling to the earth" or "stars being dragged" as mentioned in the verse below.

    "Another sign was seen in heaven. Look! A great fiery-colored dragon, with seven heads and ten horns and on its heads seven diadems; and its tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and it hurled them down to the earth". ~ Revelations 12:3

    In the above verse, the Fiery-colored dragon with its features of ten horns and seven diadems whose tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, all those features represent things.

    Another example of this is the immense image described in Daniel the 2nd Chapter. The immense image's body parts all represented different human governments.



    Hope that helps those searching for the Truth ~ Lenny B

    Whether they believe or not, it only affects the individual in their journey through life, and make no difference in any ones life, therefore, what matters is where are you in your walk with God? since that will have eternal consequences.

    The very scientists and engineers that worked and designed the Hubble made a very critical error in the lens rendering it useless, until millions had to be wasted to correct their mistakes.
    What benefits has that contributed to the living standards of mankind?

    If we have to use a percentage, I'm going to have to go with 99% of the ones that have found the edge of the universe (there's always that one doubter ).

    Rev 6:13 hasn't happened yet. As for joshua, that would be a miracle. Doubt any non christians would believe either. You already know that though :) there have been plenty of meteorites recorded in history.

    They will never find the "edge" of the universe. We are talking numbers too big to truly comprehend.... in one direction

    Rex, I honestly don't worry about the opinion of "experts" that think the universe and all life in it was an accident. Probability is zero of that happening. Think of the most complex thing man had built. Could it have happened from nothing by chance? Then compare that to the human body.

    Yep - what a waste of time, money, and effort - until they realize there is no end.

    If you, or a loved one needed a brain tumor removed, would you want an atheist, that had hundreds of successful surgery's, or a surgeon that just got out of school but believed the Lord would guide him through?

    Why not use the surgeon with hundreds of successful surgeries but always prays before surgery. That is an apples to apples comparison and my choice the one I brought up.

    Do you realize that the atheist had " just got out of school" at the beginning of his career so your comparison is severely flawed.

    How did "edge of the universe" come up?

    I would take the surgeon with the best track record. Would you select a Christian surgeon with hundreds of successful surgeries or an atheist who just graduated? :)

    Something to think about....During Jesus's crucifixion the sky went dark from 6-9 . This is found in the gospel account of the crucifixion (Matt. 27:45; Mk. 15:33; Lk. 23:44). Thallus (hostile Christian ancient source who's writings predate the gospels) quoted by Julius Africanas confirms the dreadful darkness over Judea, but appears to play it off as an eclipse of the sun. The problem is a solar eclipse can not happen naturally during a full moon when the Passover is celebrated. They only occur during the new moon phase. Solar eclipses only last minutes as well, not hours. Something outside of nature must have been the cause like a supernatural or miraculous event.

    No I don't guess I did. You answered a question with a question.
