Genesis 1:14 16 The lights of Heaven
The Sun, Moons and Stars are made on the 4th dayof creation and not on the 1st day like the Earth.
They are portrayed as minor entities that are ofsecondary importance to the Earth as they aremade to serve the Earth and three days after the
Earth. The description implies that they are much smaller
than the Earth.
Despite their actual size, they are only a couple of
sentences are devoted to them indicating theirrelative importance.
There is no reference to other Worlds in the Solar
System since such a concept did not exist.

Geocentric Cosmology & the Bible
1. Before Copernicus, everyone believed that the Earthis fixed at the centre of the Universe and does notmove.
2. The Sun, Moon & Stars were believed to be littlelights moving around the static Earth.
3. They believed this because the Ancient Greeks suchas Aristotle & Ptolemy had said so.
4. The Bible agreed with these views.
5. Copernicus resurrected the Heliocentric views of
Aristarchus which said that Earth & other planetsmove in orbit around the Sun.
6. Both Catholic & Protestant Church leaders wereextremely hostile to the views of Copernicus sincethey contradicted the Bible.

Pope Paul V condemns Copernicus
for contradicting the Bible (1616)
The 1st proposition, that the Sun is in
the centre and does not revolve
around the Earth is foolish, absurd,
false in Theology and heretical
because it is expressly contrary to
Holy Scripture.
The 2nd proposition, that the Earth
is not the centre, but revolves
about the Sun is absurd, false inPhilosophy, and from a theologically
point of view at least, opposed to the
true faith.
