Download or read book Flat Earth written by Christine Garwood and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-08-05 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular belief fostered in countless school classrooms the world over, Christopher Columbus did not discover that the earth was round. The idea of a spherical world had been widely accepted in educated circles from as early as the fourth century B.C. Yet, bizarrely, it was not until the supposedly more rational nineteenth century that the notion of a flat earth really took hold. Even more bizarrely, it persists to this day, despite Apollo missions and widely publicized pictures of the decidedly spherical Earth from space. Based on a range of original sources, Garwood's history of flat-Earth beliefs---from the Babylonians to the present day---raises issues central to the history and philosophy of science, its relationship to religion and the making of human knowledge about the natural world. Flat Earth is the first definitive study of one of history's most notorious and persistent ideas, and it evokes all the intellectual, philosophical, and spiritual turmoil of the modern age. Ranging from ancient Greece, through Victorian England, to modern-day America, this is a story that encompasses religion, science, and pseudoscience, as well as a spectacular array of people and places. Where else could eccentric aristocrats, fundamentalist preachers, and conspiracy theorists appear alongside Copernicus, Newton, and NASA, except in an account of such a legendary misconception? Thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating, Flat Earth is social and intellectual history at its best.

Download or read book The Case for a Creator written by Lee Strobel and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-05-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the astonishing evidence for intelligent design in this New York Times bestselling book by award-winning journalist Lee Strobel. "My road to atheism was paved by science . . . but, ironically, so was my later journey to God," Strobel says. During his academic years, Lee Strobel became convinced that God was obsolete, a belief that colored his journalism career. Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant--or so Strobel thought. But today science points in a different direction. A diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason. Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost, as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of our universe. Join Strobel as he reexamines the theories that once led him away from God. Through his compelling and highly readable account, you'll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness that present compelling evidence in The Case for a Creator. Also available: The Case for a Creator small group video study and study guide, Spanish edition, kids' edition, student edition, and more.

Download or read book The Flat Earth as Key to Decrypt the Book of Enoch written by Zen Garcia and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-09-26 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after accepting the flat earth as a model for the world, I decided to revisit the Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries to see if my new understanding would somehow mirror what Enoch was sharing as the motion of the sun and moon. As I began to read chapters 71-82, I found to my utter amazement that I was able to grasp those passages. I knew then that the vision that the angel Uriel had shown to Enoch could only be deciphered if one were to imagine Enoch's description of the revolution of the sun and the moon. As seen from above the flat circular plane of the earth as described by Isaiah; and that Enoch must have been taken up to perhaps where Polaris is, centered directly above the North Pole, and while looking down at the backdrop of the earth, was instructed on the motions of both the sun and moon. Without such conception, it is in my opinion impossible to apply these descriptions to the model of the earth as a spherical planet.

Download or read book The False Doctrine Of The Flat Earth written by David Nikao and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're a flat earther, have you studied the context of the verses which are being cited to proclaim that 'the Bible says flat earth'? This book goes through the 240 flat-earth verses that people like Nathan Roberts cite, to show you the proper context; because if you're promoting these verses, then you're accountable for the explanations. It gives a fresh perspective about the 'firmament' of Genesis; the 'circle' of Isaiah 40:22; the clay turned to the 'seal' in Job 38:13-14; the 'pillars' of 1 Samuel 2:8; the sun going forth in his 'circuit' of Psalms 19:6; and much more. If you know someone who believes that the Bible describes a domed, flat earth; I will help you understand their rationale in citing these verses. If you're a believer who's researching the flat earth, this book is critical for you. If you believe in the heliocentric universe, have you read what Moses, Job, David, and Isaiah; declared about the earth, the sun, and the stars? None of my pastors taught me what Scripture says about astronomy. The cosmology that's described in Scripture may surprise you. This book gives the context to see if Scripture describes a flat earth, a heliocentric globe earth universe or a geocentric globe earth universe. It's intellectually dishonest for people to not include the Tychonic geocentric globe earth model as an option in this discussion. Has the enemy created a false dichotomy, by making the debate only between the flat earth and the heliocentric globe earth? Satan is using the deception about the design of the universe and earth, to attack the authority of Scripture, to discount the Genesis creation narrative, and to promote the lie of evolution. This book is about much more than the flat earth debate. It's a Bible study which will open up your eyes and show you how the stars, which our Heavenly Father calls by name, are declaring the redemption plan of the set-apart. HalleluYah!

Download or read book Evolutionary Creation written by Denis O. Lamoureux and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-06-15 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative book, evolutionist and evangelical Christian Denis O. Lamoureux proposes an approach to origins that moves beyond the "evolution-versus-creation" debate. Arguing for an intimate relationship between the Book of God's Words and the Book of God's Works, he presents evolutionary creation--a position that asserts that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained and sustained evolutionary process. This view of origins affirms intelligent design and the belief that beauty, complexity, and functionality in nature reflect the mind of God. Lamoureux also challenges the popular Christian assumption that the Holy Spirit revealed scientific and historical facts in the opening chapters of the Bible. He contends that Scripture features an ancient understanding of origins that functions as a vessel to deliver inerrant and infallible messages of faith. Lamoureux shares his personal story and his struggle in coming to terms with evolution and Christianity. Like many, he lost his boyhood faith at university in classes on evolutionary biology. After graduation, he experienced a born-again conversion and then embraced belief in a literal six-day creation. Graduate school training at the doctoral level in both theology and biology led him to the conclusion that God created the world through evolution. Lamoureux closes with the two most important issues in the origins controversy--the pastoral and pedagogical implications. How should churches approach this volatile topic? And what should Christians teach their children about origins?

Download or read book Genesis 1 and the Creationism Debate written by Steven DiMattei and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern readers often assume that Genesis 1 depicts the creation of the earth and sky as we know it. Yet in an appeal for textual honesty, Steven DiMattei shows that such beliefs are more representative of modern views about this ancient text than the actual claims and beliefs of its author. Through a culturally contextualized and objective reading of the texts of Genesis 1 and 2, this study not only introduces readers to the textual data that convincingly demonstrate that Genesis' two creation accounts were penned by different authors who held contradictory views and beliefs about the origin of the world and of man and woman, but also establishes on textual grounds that what the author of Genesis 1 portrayed God creating was the world as its author and culture perceived and experienced it--not the objective world, but a subjective world, subject to the culturally conditioned views and beliefs of its author. In the end, this book clearly illustrates that the Bible's ancient texts do in fact represent the beliefs and worldviews of ancient peoples and cultures--not those of God, not those of later readers, and especially not those of modern-day Creationists.

Download or read book Firmament Vaulted Dome of the Earth written by Zen Garcia and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While researching information for the publication of my 9th book The Flat Earth As Key To Decrypt The Book Of Enoch, I was led to understanding that not only does the Bible support premise that the earth is a flat circular plane but that it is covered by the firmament as a solid transparent dome like canopy. This led me to revisit the canonical and extra Biblical texts such as The Book Of Enoch, The Book Of Jasher, The Book Of Jubilees, and myriad others, to see if not only did they affirm such idea but if they contained other little known insight which might expound upon this matter in some detailed manner. This book is the end result of that search and compilation of all of those source references. And because I include in this study much extra Biblical material which few are familiar with, I doubt one will be able to find a more complete investigation of the firmament as topic than that which is presented here. The seeker of lost paradise may seem a fool to those whom have never sought the other worlds
