God is great! This event shows the magnificence of His creation once again. Give credit to God.
As someone pointed out yesterday, what are the odds that the size of the moon and its distance from the earth would cover the disc of the sun so perfectly during a solar eclipse?
Praise God for his never ending wonders and miracles!
I never understood this logic. Don’t you have to take the bad too? God also created an earthquake that caused a Tsunami that killed 100,000 people.
Amen.
Amen!
God is greatest...
ECLIPSE TRIVIA:
Can you have a total eclipse of the sun, when the moon is waxing or waning?
When God needs to call souls home, things happen
‘what are the odds that the size of the moon and its distance from the earth would cover the disc of the sun so perfectly during a solar eclipse?’
don’t know, but the odds that in the distant future eclipse totality will be impossible as the moon moves further from the earth...and odds are pretty good that millions of years ago, when the distance to the moon was measured in tens of thousand of miles instead of hundreds, the solar eclipse was totality on the entire face of the earth...
‘I never understood this logic.’
logic has nothing to with it...never did...
‘Don’t you have to take the bad too?’
yes, of course you do, thus, the lack of logic...
Imagine if your tag, “MeneMeneTekelUpharsin”, appeared in the great dining hall in Babylon and King Belshazzar. Then, instead of being startled and alarmed all of his guests were amused and giddy.
It is a stupid shadow!
Yes, it is a shadow. Wonder who else could duplicate this event?
Flashlight, baseball, basketball. I win!
‘It is a stupid shadow!’
praise for the nearly total cloud cover that prevents my area from seeing any of it...
Jay W Richards discussed this on few days ago Freepers and another site, check out his co-authored book The Privleged Planet. Also available on DVD of same title, very interesting. He and his collegues have other books, DVDs out on related science topics.
Now you’ve made me really jealous.
NO. can’t have.
Genesis chap 1 verse 2: And the Earth was formless and void, and Darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Verse 3: Then God said, “Let there be Light; and there was light. Verse 4: ...and God separated the Light from the Darkness....
“I never understood this logic. Don’t you have to take the bad too? God also created an earthquake that caused a Tsunami that killed 100,000 people.”
Fear the Lord, His power is mighty, He makes the heavens and the earth shake. He blesses and He takes away - He is GOD.
Praise Jesus Christ for reconciling us by His blood to our mighty and awesome creator, without Jesus I would be hiding in a bunker.
