The system of stars through out the garments of the universe may be millions of years old with the Gap theory at the center of that debate, but human civilization from Adam to our days beyond the year 2000 AD is approx. 6,000+ years.
The constellations were meant for man and their uses, set in their courses, for times, and seasons, but not for their devotion, inordinate observations, and worship. That has been the outcome of the depravity of man. In their heart, they rejected God and concocted fables and legends, while claiming the Bible is fable and legend.
Jerusalem's and Egypt’s location were not mistakes but by the grand design of God. They were by purpose and providence, perhaps the two most notable cities in the world. Human civilization began there. Much can be learned of the skies in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
Canaanite, Assyrians, (Jews and Gentiles) have worship demi-gods, constellations, gods, and stars since before the Law was given to Moses. In Genesis 6, the sons of God and the daughters of men, the tower of Babel and much more shows us these truths. Through idolatry, they set up images, alters, groves, monuments, high places and images. They set up images of stars, planets and such things of gold and silver, and worshipped them. Kings, and Judges of Israel, and Gentile Nations all partook.
Since before, 2 Kings 11, and 21 (23:11) (Solomon and Manasseh) men have worshipped stars. Babylonians, Kabbalist, and Pagans have carried it on. Sabeism - Worship of the Stars. Philosophers believe that our actions are determined upon the stars. Or the gods. Many Philosophers thought the stars and ruling constellations demanded mans sway and this became their way of rejecting God Almighty.
1 John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Job 8:9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
It is the scriptures only that can remove cloaks of deception and lies. Many false teachings, no matter how popular or accepted can be dismantle upon comparing the Scripture with the Scriptures. If one believe God (Romans 4:3), then it is easy to see evolutionistic teachings as what they are, false, unfounded, ridiculous, unbelievable, religious, and damning.
Sun worship is still alive and well. Idolatry has been in man since Genesis and probably before; and it will continue, even through the great tribulation, with God showing might and works and wonders in the heavens. There will still be images. Even through the millennial reign of Jesus Christ on this earth for a thousand years, there will be an underground rebellion that is idolatrous towards their creator.
Evolution is another form of intellectual, pagan worship, it exist ONLY to deny the one, true, Creator of all, God the father. Pagan worship has evolved in to a more modern sophisticated form of teaching. Whether it is a NASA scientist or a Harvard Evolution -leaning professor, the religion they preach is what pays their bills. They will never leave it, and will defend it harshly, and quite thoroughly.
1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
There is so much proof out there that there is a God. Yet, man will resist them because of their education or knowledge. With all these proofs, with all these witnesses that God exist, yet man still denies him. I could literally take a month studying this point. The Scientific proof of the Bible is amazing. It’s all compassing. I know some of this may be boring, and I know I could talk on more interesting things.
1 Peter 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
I want to give you the thought pattern of man. Why man rejects God, or any knowledge of God. God has witnesses. He knew how man would be. He knew man would be skeptical of him, so he left us unexplainable witnesses that show his handiwork. God knew man would be obstinate, and stiff-necked.
Isaiah 48:3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
People know about God, and they can find out about him in the book. That book that has sold 6,000,000,000.
Jeremiah 9:23 ¶Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.
13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
It’s not that man can’t know God, they don’t want to know God. People always have a funny idea about who God is and what he is like. God didn’t leave it to mans vain imagination. God left us a book, that tell us who God is, and what he is like. A SPECIFIC REVELATION ABOUT HIMSELF!
Jeremiah 9:6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 13:10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
You are without excuse!
Psalms 10:4-11 shows us mankind will not seek God. Job 21:7-15 teaches us that mankind has no Desire for God. Romans 1:28 shows us that mankind at certain points does not even retain God in their knowledge. Hosea 4:1-6illuminates the evident fact that mankind because of their sin wants no knowledge of God.
As if the written revelation about God wasn’t enough, God left behind other natural witnesses. A evolutionist can’t answer the earth, and creation. A Scientist can’t answer the Universe. A intellectual can’t answer the Prophecy of the book. Psalms 14:1 says The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God…. Why would a man say that, all the revelation, all the proof of God, and his book are irrefutable? They say that because…They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
A person who does not believe in creation, which all and all takes less faith then believing in evolution has a corrupted heart. Be it from your own obstinate heart and stiff neck, or the worlds deception. What will your education amount to when you stand before the “terror of the Lord” in judgment.
