Some secular scientists in Great Britan have postulated outer space is more dense than it is in our part of space and consequently objects in outer space would appear to be much farther away than they actually are.

I do think that preconceived ideas have warped both sides of the argument and that is frustrating because I believe that God is glorified when we find the truth in what He has created.Striderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347436154893544535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643342666676162215.post-22411725534635162842010-04-27T19:33:59.682-05:002010-04-27T19:33:59.682-05:00It is interesting that the focus in Genesis 1 is o...It is interesting that the focus in Genesis 1 is on God creating light... above stars.. hence the aesthetic above the means.<br />3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. <br /><br />14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night.
