A recent video has come out depicting Christians or those who believe in God to be wrong again. But the video they use is pretty one sided and doesn’t make a lot of sense in fighting an argument about creationism vs. somehow it was always there.
Watch the video by clicking the title.
First off, it starts by saying that we are in a “Goldilocks Zone” Where if we were too close to the sun, we’d burn up and if we were too far away, we would freeze. The way this video speaks of it, it sounds like he believes that it’s in the bible that it was perfectly placed. The biggest part of this fad saying came from a Carmen music video in the 90’s that talked about the science behind it.
“Creationists can’t ever say it again.”
We never could say it to begin with! The bible does not say anywhere that “God placed the Earth within such a mass of the sun so that we wouldn’t burn up, or we wouldn’t freeze.” Simply put, God created the heavens and the Earth. The word “heavens” first off is not capitalized so it’s not a specific place. Look at the Hebrew word for heavens.
הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם (missing some of the Hebrew vowel markers…but that’s Arial for you.)
This word in English is, “ha·sha·ma·yim”
This word has a few multiple meanings, heaven or sky. That was the belief, in Hebrew, that it was the sky during the day, heavens at night. To keep with that,
You’ll find the same word used again in Genesis 2:4
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
And the word “heavens” was used in more than one translation of the bible, keeping it close to the original word, hashamayim.
That being said, you’ll hear the next part when the rocket flew into space it immediately found 1,235 planets. When God created the Earth, he created the heavens with it. Every star in the sky, the universe…basically the whole expansion beyond what you see past the sky or what the bible refers to as the “firmament” which is a different use of heaven (no ‘s.’) and is used to say, “sky.” The Hebrew word is שָׁמַ֫יִם
Or shamayim, which only refers to what, you see as the “sky”
So since the beginning we knew that there was more out there than just Earth. In fact the video says that 54 are in their own Goldilocks zones of their stars. 5 are the same size as the Earth. God created the heavens and the Earth. So it’s ignorant even for Christians to claim that God only created the Earth and it’s the only planet that can support life. No where did God say, “I will never create another rock like this one. No other rock will support life and if it does it’s where I’ll hide the mermaids and the unicorns.”
The video goes on and on about how it will only see a tiny fraction of space in the entire universe. Well by that definition so could the Jews. Except they didn’t have any fancy telescopes or shuttles or rockets or even a stinking pair of binoculars to tell that “oh. There are other planets like ours.”
They concluded that everything beyond what you could see was, “heavens”
Moving on…
“We’ve been trying to tell Creationists that this is the case, but they just didn’t listen.”
Really? Who did you talk to? The crazy lady with 300 cats holding a Bible and a shotgun? I’m pretty sure a TON of creationists would agree with me that God created the heavens and the Earth. Can I say that enough? That was the heavens and the Earth. No specific place. No specific chunk of space. Simply, “heavens”
And he goes on and on even more about how, “You think this was made just for you?” NO! Get off your high horse!
WE were created for God. THAT’S what the bible teaches. God put us here on Earth and created us to worship him. That’s what I believe and no one has been able to counter it in any way shape or form.
So remember. If you happen to watch this video, it does not disprove Creationism. It doesn’t prove it either. It’s just an angry individual stating fun facts about the universe.
