Human understanding of cosmology has changed through the years and these changes are reflected in Scripture and in the writings of Christians over the last two millennia. This is fundamental to our belief that the Bible is the word of God.īut is there a scientific concordance or correspondence between statements about the physical world in Scripture and physical reality as we understand it today? Denis's answer, and mine, is not necessarily. There is a spiritual correspondence between the teachings of Scripture and spiritual reality.

" The primary purpose of the Bible is to deal with our relationship with God and to make us realize that we have damaged it though our own sinfulness." (p. When reading the Bible when and where should we expect to find correspondence or concordance with fact? Lamoureux argues that the Bible is a book of redemption. Is the universe expansive, with stars and galaxies light years away from us?ĭoes a 21st century vision of the solar system or the galaxy shape your reading of Genesis or the Psalms?ĭenis Lamoureux digs into these kinds of questions in the next couple of chapters of his book The Bible & Ancient Science introducing concepts in biblical interpretation. Is the earth roughly spherical, orbiting around the much more massive sun, with a far less massive moon orbiting the earth? In the following video you will see experiments done with water being repelled by magnets and creating a ripple affect.The skies proclaim the work of his hands. When the sun and moon are perfectly aligned on flat earth the tides are highest. If you look on a flat earth map, the path of the sun through the year (tropic of cancer to the tropic of Capricorn) is exactly where all the most and extreme tides are found on earth. They work together like a perfectly designed machine.

The close sun is a positive electromagnetic energy repelling the water in the ocean, creating low tides and and the moon is a negative electromagnetic energy causing high tides. It creates a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field. Water Is naturally diamagnetic, which means it repels a magnetic field. The sun, actually being close and small, has an immediate and local affect on the ocean.

The electromagnetic energy of the sun and moon directly creates tides because of the diamagnetic properties of water.
