Isaiah 44:9 - They that make a graven image are of of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they my be ashamed. Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
The planetarium in Vancouver British Columbia Canada.
I marvel once again at the total utter rejection of God by men. They have set up their own god via cosmological evolution. It was hard to sit through one of the presentations called “Stars”. The presentation was utter propaganda in support of the outright rejection of the word of God. This didn’t surprise me but I was curious to see what they are teaching children and adults alike.
Some of the first words out of the presenters mouth was a quotation from Carl Sagan. I realized at that point that the next 45 minutes would be torture.
Why did we not walk out? I had a few reasons but the main reason was as I stated above, what are they teaching people. I do not recommend anyone going there with out their discernment radar being turned on to high alert.
When ever I go out to Vancouver to visit my family I have always refused to go to the planetarium because it teaches such horrible things.
What spurred me on to go to the planetarium was an interesting time my wife and I had at a bed and breakfast on the Oregon coast. The first morning on the coast my wife and I had breakfast with a couple from Britain that were also staying at the bed and breakfast. We discovered that the husband was a cosmology professor in Britain.
Another thing we discovered is that this professor was a man in which I had seen before. I asked him if he had ever given any lectures on video. He said yes. I then told him I had seen some of his lectures on the internet. I also had watched him in a debate in which I remember him losing but I guess thats debatable.
It was very strange to be sitting across the table from a guy in whom I had seen some years ago when studying into the whole heliocentric vs tychonian planetary models of the universe.
My wife asked the professor an interesting question which went something like...If you could sum up all your learning into a few short sentences what would you tell us? His answer...”Life is always full of surprises”. I then answered him by saying, “yes life is full of surprises. We might just find out one day that there really is an ether”. All I can say is that I would have loved to have had a picture of him in that moment because the look on his face was pricelessly confused. Cosmologists do not believe that there is an ether.
I would have loved to have shared with them the gospel if there would have been more time. Maybe that is my fault because after my “ether” comment it made an end to the breakfast. Hopefully I will be more wise the next opportunity that the Lord Jesus gives me.
