Baptist Church. It is time to get started this morning. You
would go ahead and find a seat. First song is a handout. He is
mine. So we have copies. Brother Zach has copies of the handout.
If you don't have one, just raise your hand. We should have
enough. He is mine is going to be the handout first song this
morning. He is mine. Two verses there in that handout. Go ahead
and sing that he is mine. They're starting on the first
long. It's with me. Heavenly Father, thank you for this day
for another opportunity to gather together and just that we
can sing out fully our praises and love honor and glory unto
you. Pray that you'd be with us for the services both services
today that you'd open all of our ears and hearts to the message
and that you'd fill the preachers with your spirit. These
things we pray in Jesus name. Amen. All right for our next
hymn number eighteen in your hymnal. Take the name of Jesus
with you. Hymn number eighteen one eight. Take the name of
Jesus with you. Hymn number eighteen. We'll sing there on
the first. Take the name. Raise your hand for bulletin Genesis
chapter one verse twenty one. Memory verse of the week much
longer one this week but definitely doable on the inside
we have our service times listed Sunday morning at ten
at thirty Sunday evening at four thirty and our Wednesday
Bible study at seven o'clock and you gotta come Wednesday to
see the new book that we're going to be studying this
Wednesday. I'll just leave it as a surprise for everyone but
we're looking forward to starting a new Bible study on
Wednesday. Then we have our soul winning times listed there
below all those meet here at the church building. We do have
our year to date soul winning statistics great job on soul
winning. Then our upcoming events of course this evening
is our men's preaching night and even if you haven't signed
up yet, I think there's still some room there on the sign up
sheet so please feel free if you'd like to preach this
evening. We'd love to have you then next Saturday is our
soul winning marathon here in Oklahoma City and we're gonna
be meeting here at the church building at 10 o'clock for our
normal rally. We'll go out soul winning and then we'll meet
back here at 1230 for lunch and then go out for a second
round of soul winning and like I said, if anyone can just make
any part of that, that's great. You don't have to go to the
whole thing. Whatever part your schedule allows you to
participate in. We're happy to have you for that then the next
day. So next Sunday is our one year anniversary as anchor
Baptist Church and we're really excited to be celebrating
that and so we're gonna have Pastor Jonathan Shelley from
Steadfast Baptist Church preaching both services. So
we're really looking forward to having the destroyer of Red
Hot come to preach for us. It's gonna be a lot of fun
and we're looking forward of course to seeing lots of people from Steadfast
to some old even members here. Southerns are coming and some other people so
we're looking forward to seeing everyone for sure. We do have our Pi Fellowship
then after that on the 26th. December 5th is the Yukon Lights
Fellowship evening at Chisholm Park. December 12th is the
ladies Christmas party at 6 30 p.m. Also if I could have the ushers
print a sign-up sheet in our Google Docs that has that already
made up. There is a sign-up sheet that'll be available
in just a few minutes for ladies to sign up for that. We'd appreciate if you could
help us with that. December 19th will be our Christmas
caroling and December 24th will be the cookie bake-off
after the evening service. December 31st our New Year's Eve party
which is again another men's preaching night and just
food and fellowship afterwards so we're looking forward to all those great
events this winter. Although it doesn't feel like
winter does it but hey I'll take it. It was great soul-winning yesterday.
We do have also our visitor card information there and online giving.
On the back there's a place for notes as well as our prayer list.
If you have any updates or requests you'd like us to have in the bulletin
please email the church and I'll be happy to add that for you.
That's going to be it for announcements let's go ahead and go to our third song together.
Our third hymn this morning number 310 footprints of Jesus.
Hymn number 310 310 footprints of Jesus.
310 we'll sing there starting on the first.
Your number Joeth his handiwork day and today uttered speech and in the night Joeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
Their line has gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world and them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun which is a bridegroom which is as a bridegroom cometh out of his chamber and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven and his circuit unto the ends of it and there is
nothing hid from the heat thereof. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise as simple. The statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous
altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey
and the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is the servant warned, and in keeping of them there
is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy
servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me, then shall I be upright,
and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, Frank, and my Redeemer.
All right, we are there in day on today uttereth speech and night on tonight showeth knowledge.
The title of my sermon this morning is biblical cosmology, biblical cosmology. What is cosmology?
It's basically the study of the origin and structure of the universe, the planets, the stars,
the sun, all the things, the beautiful, you know, planetary bodies we see in the sky.
You know, what does the Bible teach about these things versus what the world teaches?
Of course, in Psalm 19, it says the heavens declare the glory of God. You know, we look
up to the sky. We look at how the universe works, at least what our minds can comprehend of it.
And it just gives us, you know, it gives us awe of the Lord. It gives glory to the Lord.
It shows his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech and night unto night showeth knowledge,
right? Everything that we learn about day and night and the sun, moon and stars, it just shows
that God is so knowledgeable. God is so powerful. Now, there's a few things that the Bible teaches
about this. Go to Hebrews chapter number 11. Hebrews chapter 11. Number one, I want to say
this. God created the universe in six literal days. This is a very important foundational idea
as to what the Bible teaches about biblical cosmologies, that God created the universe not
through billions of years of evolution or something like that. God created everything in six literal
days. Here's what the Bible says in Hebrews 11 verse 3. It says, "Through faith we understand
that the worlds were framed by the word of God." Now we also know that the word of God is the Lord
Jesus Christ. It says that the worlds are framed by the word of God so that the things which are
seen, notice, were not made of things which do appear. So what does that mean? That means that God
created everything in this universe from nothing. The universe did not start with this very small
little bit of matter that exploded and turned into everything else. No, God created everything
that we see today from nothing. The things that are made, which are seen, were not made of those
things which do appear. Now, first of all, of course, this goes in stark contrast against the
secular idea of where our universe came from, which is, of course, the Big Bang Theory. Now,
raise your hand if you've heard of the Big Bang Theory. I'm sure some kids in here probably haven't
and that's probably a good thing. But the Big Bang Theory, of course, teaches that the universe,
that everything we see today, came from this really dense small bit of matter that existed
billions and billions, trillions of years ago that was smaller than the period on your page
and in that contained all the matter in the universe and it got really, really hot and it
just exploded into everything and that's somehow how we have life today. This is the conventional
way of thinking among secular people that the Big Bang Theory is how the universe came to be.
But, of course, this doesn't answer the question of where this matter even came from
and even scientists do not know the answer to this question. I found this article it's called
the Big Bang. How could something come from nothing? Pretty good question. So this is from
SciTech.com and I'm going to read part of this article for you. They have a section here called
cycles from almost nothing. Truly answer the question of how something could arise from
nothing. We would need to explain the quantum state of the entire universe at the beginning of
the Planck Epic. Well that sounds easy, right? I mean just explain the quantum state of the entire
universe and then we'll know all the answers of the universe, right? It says all attempts to do
this remain highly speculative. So I at least give credit to this author saying like hey when we try
to scientifically explain the origins of our universe and where all this matter came from,
he's saying let me be upfront we're completely speculating, right? So do not let anyone tell you
like science has all the answers to where our universe came from and you are just so stupid if
you're a Christian and you believe that God created. At the end of the day science doesn't know,
scientists don't know, people who study this stuff don't know where the universe came from
and they're just openly admitting hey any attempt to explain this kind of stuff is speculative,
right? So I give the credit to some author there. It says some of them appeal to supernatural forces
like a designer. So he's saying hey that belief is out there. But other candidate explanations
remain within the realm of physics. Now I do have a problem with that statement because it's saying
like well some people believe in God but there's other explanations that live in the realm of
physics. But here's the thing, God and physics are not against each other because God created the
physical universe and the physical world and physics is just the study of the physical world,
the physical universe that we live in. So I don't believe that these things are at odds one with
another. You could accept physics and accept God at the same time. It says there's other explanations
within the realm of physics such as a multiverse which contains an infinite number of parallel
universes or cyclical models of the universe being born and reborn again. The 2020 Nobel Peace Prize
winning physicist Roger Penrose has proposed one intriguing but controversial model for a cyclical
universe dubbed conformal cyclic cosmology. Penrose was inspired by an interesting mathematical
connection between a very hot dense small state of the universe as it was at the big bang source
trust me bro right so it's like hey he figured out that you know just like how at the beginning
of the big bang the universe was very hot and dense like we're supposed to accept that you
know let's just take that for granted right it's ridiculous and then it says so he's contrasting
that in an extremely cold empty expanded state of the universe as it will be in the far future
source trust me bro right so we're just we're supposed to just accept this guy's mathematical
equations of something that he doesn't know ever existed and doesn't know he ever will exist but
this is what this guy is is you know coming to the conclusion of it says his radical theory to
explain this correspondence is that those states become mathematically identical when taken to
their limits paradoxical though it may seem a total absence of matter might have managed to give
rise to all the matter that we see around us in our universe right so this guy's saying all right
now there's a designer that's out there but we're going to go ahead and stay within the realm of
physics by the way it's possible as paradoxical as it may seem that absolutely no matter created
all the matter in and of itself in the universe how is that within the realm of physics exactly
you know what what's the reality is is that yeah the universe actually did come from
no matter in and of itself because god created it himself the miracle of god's creation is how
we got the universe today but don't sit in here and tell me like i'm going to stay within the
realm of physics and then explain like a miracle to us that absolutely nothing could create
everything of its own self that doesn't make any sense that's not possible right so of course
when it comes to you know science people who deny creation they love to say oh we just always
believe the science we always want to stick with the scientific facts yet they'll just deny the
first law of thermodynamics that energy cannot be created or destroyed right they'll just completely
ignore that then it says in this view the big bang arises from almost nothing so now he changes
it to almost nothing it was nothing now he says almost nothing that's what's left over when all
the matter in a universe has been consumed into black holes which have turned in turn boiled away
into photons lost in a void the whole universe thus arises from something that viewed from
another physical perspective is as close as one can get to nothing at all but that nothing is
still a kind of something it is still a physical universe however empty right so this is just
garbly goop makes no sense they're not saying anything they're contradicting themselves
it says conformal cyclical cosmology offers some detailed but speculative answers to the question
of where our big bang came from but i like again the author's a little bit honest here he says
but even if penrose's vision is vindicated by future progress of cosmology we might think that
we still wouldn't have answered a deeper deeper philosophical question a question about where
physical reality itself came from so okay you know even if you're weird belief that universes
are just like replicating themselves in black holes and somehow that's how our universe came
to be you're still not answering the fundamental question of where did those universes come from
where did matter itself come from and so science cannot answer this question and they never will
answer this question because the truth is is that in the beginning god god has just always existed
god is eternal and the physical things of this world and universe did not always exist god created
those things in the beginning god created the heaven and the earth it says how did the whole
system of cycles come about then we finally end up with the pure question of why there is something
rather than nothing one of the biggest questions of metaphysics but our focus here is on explanations
that remain within the realm of physics there are three broad options to the deeper question of how
these cycles even began number one it could have no physical explanation at all okay so i at least
you know appreciate his honesty here or there could be endlessly repeating cycles each a universe in
his own right with the initial quantum state of each universe explained by some feature of the
universe before or there could be one single cycle and another single repeating universe with
the beginning of that cycle explained by some feature of its own end the latter two approaches
avoid the need of any uncaused events and this gives them a distinctive appeal nothing would be
left unexplained by physics the reason i just read all that to you is just to get you to understand
this is that at the end of the day when it comes to our modern scientific understanding of the
foundations of the universe they don't know the answers they just don't know and any actual honest
scientist honest person who studies this stuff will at least say these are speculative answers
that we're coming up with we don't know these answers it's impossible to know these answers
why because you can't observe the creation of the universe you can't test it you can't make a
hypothesis and go and test the creation of the universe like you cannot know these things from
a scientific perspective which is why Hebrews 11 said hey through faith we understand and at
the end of the day both the atheists that believe in the big bang theory and us we are believing
something they are not you know oh we're standing with the facts we're standing with science no no
they have a religion atheism today is a religion believing in the big bang theory is a religion
and anyone who tells you oh it's a scientific fact that the big bang theory is true that person is a
liar or they're ignorant because people who actually work in these field and are getting
you know nobel peace prizes in in this type of a field they will tell you it's speculative
we don't know and the ones who are honest will even say it could come from a designer
what is that talking about from god of course so look there's no evidence that the big bang
you know theory occurred whereas god's creation is self-evident here's the thing about the creation
that's made by god is that it's just self-evident you just see the creation and the only logical
you could conclusion you can come to is that god created that's why psalm 19 says that the heavens
the things that are made give glory to god that day unto day uttereth speech that night unto night
uttereth knowledge we're just seeing like hey the things that are exist existing today this all
could not have come from nothing the intricacies and just complex nature of our bodies our brains
the different systems that work together in the physical universe these things cannot have come
from an a random explosion folks i mean it's absolute insanity to believe something like that
you know it is a insane religion it's a false religion is what it is go to second peter chapter
number three second peter chapter number three second peter chapter three verse three and keep
your place here because we're gonna come back to it in a little bit second peter three verse three
says this knowing this first that there shall come in the last days scoffers walking after their own
lusts so in the last days the bible's explaining to us the character of the type of people that
are going to be around notice something about them they're scoffers right just oh oh you guys
christians oh you believe that god exists notice walking after their own lusts does it say walking
after a more enlightened mind walking after a higher form of education and having educated
themselves and learn the truth and learn facts no no they're walking after their own lusts you
want to know why a lot of people are atheists is because they're wicked and stupid people that's
why because they want to live whatever type of lifestyle they want they want to eat drink and be
married and do all sorts of abominable sins and be accountable to no one they want to have a subjective
relative morality that is not fixed on the bible that is not fixed on a creator they want to just
what walk after their own lusts right so the bible appears into the heart the bible tells us
what people are really like and scientists atheists people that believe in the big bang they like to
purport themselves as being intellectual standing on truth and facts and they're so enlightened
but really the bible just tells us no they're scoffers walking after their own lusts and look
there's nothing wrong with science science just means knowledge i'm pro science hey i'm pro
learning physics i'm pro understanding the things that exist in our universe because at the end of
the day i know that all it's going to do is give glory to god so we're not afraid of these things
but what pisses me off is science falsely so-called where people want to sit here and say
i'm a scientist by the way did you know that everything that exists came from absolutely
nothing and that nothing just willed itself into existence exploded became these planets somehow
life got formed on earth somehow we evolved from little tadpoles millions or billions of years ago
i mean this is a religion folks what are they they're just scoffers walking after their own lusts
notice verse four and saying where is the promise of his coming for since the fathers fell asleep
all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation for this they notice
willingly are ignorant of that by the word of god the heavens were of old and the earth standing
out of the water and in the water whereby the world that then was being overflowed with water
perished right roman's chapter one teaches that the things of god the things that he created the
creation it is clearly seen it is evident we're able to understand god's power his godhead by the
things that exist and for someone to be an atheist there's only one reason they are that way they're
willingly ignorant willingly ignorant it's not like you're born an atheist or something like that
no no no we all have the law of god written on our hearts god has written us a conscience in our
hearts god's design is just everywhere in this world and for someone to be an atheist for someone
to deny creation to deny the worldwide flood which there's so much evidence for you know for
someone to deny that they just simply have to be willingly ignorant right so again and keep your
place there go to psalm 14 this is why i've said before i don't really agree with creation
apologist ministries because it kind of is just playing to like the worst group in society
of people who are just willingly ignorant people who are fools people who are scoffers people who
are just walking after their own lusts you know people are not atheists because there's a lack
of evidence for god people are atheists because they're willingly ignorant they're just stupid
people and like i would rather reach the catholic who at least has enough wisdom to believe that
god is real and he's just mixed up on work salvation you know or people of even other
false religions i mean i'll tell you what muslims are smarter than atheists that's pretty sad to
say but it's true like the muslims who follow an illiterate prophet are smarter than richard
dawkins and these idiots that believe that the universe came from nothing that's just reality i
mean wow mormons are smarter than atheists that's pretty crazy because they believe some really
stupid stuff and mormons are not the sharpest tools in the shed when they believe that jesus
christ came to the americas to preach to the indians like this is a weird crazy religion
but yet it's still not as dumb as saying that there's no god at all that's that's what the
bible says look at verse one of uh psalm 14 the fool hath said in his heart there is no god
they are corrupt they have done abominable works there is none that doeth good so look i'm not
saying this of my own opinion the bible says that the person who says there is no god is a fool
is an idiot is a moron and so it's like why am i going to sit here and just dedicate my whole life
to explaining to someone that two plus two equals four hey atheist the sky is blue hey atheist you
know the earth is a sphere hey atheist god is real like why am i just going to waste my breath
explaining the most basic obvious self-evident truths that someone has to be a fool to reject
that someone has to be a scoffer to reject and here's the thing even if you convince someone
that creation is real that does not get someone saved even if you convince an atheist that there
is a creator there is an intelligent designer you know what you could still go to hell believing in
an intelligent designer you go to hell if you believe in a god the only way to get to heaven is
to put your faith in the lord jesus christ in the god of the bible in jesus's perfect sacrifice
for your sin there's plenty of people that are creationists who will split hell wide open muslims
mormons all those people i just talked about hey even though the muslims and mormons are smarter
than an atheist they're both still going to the same hell so why would i just spend my whole life
trying to be like kent hoven getting people to understand that creation is real you know or this
guy uh matt powell who was originally a part of a great bible believing church soul winning powerhouse
faithful word baptist church and then he quits it to go live on a compound with like a four time
or five time divorced weirdo kent hoven who believes that christians will burn in hell for
a thousand years that seems like a really normal person right and it's like oh man you know we're
so shocked that he came out against the new ifb well i'm not shocked at all because you have to be
a weirdo to do something like that the guy's a complete freak so anyways i'm against those
type of ministries go to exodus chapter number 20 exodus 20 so that's one aspect of creation of
course the big bang theory is ridiculous it is a religion we believe that god created the earth
in six literal days it got created everything i should say in six literal days as you're turning
to exodus 20 genesis 1 1 says in the beginning god created the heaven and the earth and the earth was
without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the spirit of god moved upon
the face of the water so god created the heaven and the earth that's what the bible teaches
but there's another false doctrine relating to this area of study which is called the gap theory
now raise your hand if you've heard of the gap theory this was popularized by the schofield
reference bible because in the schofield reference bible they have all these footnotes in between the
verses and the schofield reference bible teaches that there's a void in between genesis one one
and genesis one two of thousands of years that basically there was a pre-ademic earth they call
it a pre-atom earth where satan was ruling over this world and that you know in verse two when it
says that the earth was without form and void they'll teach well it wasn't void in verse one
god made it void after he judged satan's kingdom it's like i miss that in those verses like these
people think that this is like a a video game or something it's no the bible says what it says
there's not all this secret esoteric knowledge written in between the lines of verses one and
verse two no god gave us every word of god okay now here is what peter ruckman said who obviously
peter ruckman in the latter part of the 1900s was big into popularizing hyper dispensationalism
and he has a lot of influence on independent fundamental baptist today you go to you know
military getsaved.com and there's churches that call themselves like ruckman like we're a ruckman
type church this guy is a complete weirdo mark and avoid anyone who is a follower of peter ruckman
he believes in work salvation in the old testament work salvation in the future the guy's not saved
he's a false prophet okay here's what peter ruckman said he said i believe the gap fact i
don't care what the young earthers say the bible says okay the bible says that the earth became
without form and void no it doesn't it says that and the earth was without form and void
that's the exact word of genesis 1 2 he gets up and says the bible says that the earth became
without uh form and void he says it didn't start that way something happened lucifer had a kingdom
he lost it god judged it that's your ice age that's your dinosaurs that's your trilobites
so in between genesis 1 and genesis and genesis 1 1 and genesis 1 2 was the ice age the dinosaurs
the trilobites satan's kingdom god's judgment upon satan's kingdom making the earth form and void
folks this is fairy tale la la land nonsense the bible does not teach the gap theory or as he
so pridefully calls it the gap fact what's a fact is what the bible says none of that stuff
is in the bible you know i miss the the ice age in my bible i don't i don't remember a
verse about a trilobite like what are you talking about okay i had to go to exodus chapter number
20 here's a fact exodus 20 verse 9 six days shout thou labor and do all thy work but the
seventh day is the sabbath of the lord thy god in it thou shalt not do any work thou nor thy son
nor thy daughter thy manservant nor thy maidservant nor thy cattle nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates for in six days the lord made heaven and earth the sea and all that in them
is and rested the seventh day wherefore the lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it let the
bible just speak for itself in six days the lord created the heaven and the earth you know you get
into trouble when you start just ignoring the clear statements of the bible and you start just
relying on man's commentary this is why we are so pro people reading the bible for themselves
every day and we're supposed to be checking the bible seeing if whether those things that we hear
are so and when the preacher gets up and says well in between genesis 1 1 and 1 2 there's all
this stuff going on you know you get to exodus 20 it's like well my bible says in six days
the lord made heaven and earth now here's where people start getting in trouble i told you to
keep your place in second peter 3 go back there second peter chapter 3 here's where people start
getting in trouble is either one they start interpreting things that just aren't in the
bible that's obviously a big issue or another thing is when people get to language in the bible
where the bible is clearly being poetic or using a metaphor or using some sort of
literary device and hyper you know interpreting that literally you know there are times in the
bible where the bible is speaking hyperbolically or poetically right psalms proverbs ecclesiastes
job a lot of these books there is poetic language that's not a hundred percent literal okay let me
give you an example second peter chapter three verse seven here's where people get in trouble
it says but the heavens and the earth which are now by the same word are kept in store reserved
under fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men but beloved be not
ignorant of this one thing notice this that one day is with the lord as a thousand years
and a thousand years is one day the lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count
slackness but as long suffering to us word not willing that any should perish but that all should
come to repentance and they'll say see with god a thousand years is one day and one day is a thousand
years it's like hey buddy did you see that word there as as the one day is as a thousand years
with the lord a thousand years is as a day with the lord what is this it's a comparison it's an
exaggeration that's being made to get us to understand the truth that of course god dwells
outside of time god is eternal but it does not say hey one day is a thousand years a thousand
years is one day it's saying that it's like that right so you don't want to see this type of just
metaphor or poetic type language and then just run with that and say well hey i mean maybe six
days is actually six thousand years you know and maybe a thousand is even more than that like people
just run with this kind of stuff no exodus 20 clear statement six days right second peter three
we have a comparison being made we have a metaphor that's being given here go to genesis chapter
number seven now i'm going to show you how silly the bible would become if you started hyper
literally interpreting every verse it becomes a fairy tale it becomes a joke genesis chapter
number seven look at verse 11 in the 600th year of noah's life in the second month the 17th day
of the month the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up notice and the windows
of heaven were open do you think god is like oh good morning opening the windows pouring the rain
out of the window like it's a metaphor folks it's not super literal right god opens the windows of
heaven here's what it means it started raining folks that's what it means right but if you are
just this hyper literal person you come to this like there's windows in the sky and when it rains
you know god is like going to the the hard dome and he's opening up the hard dome and that's the
windows and he's pouring water down it's like you're an idiot it's a metaphor it's poetic
language this exists in the bible okay go to psalm 96 i'll show you another example of this
psalm 96 not everything is super literal psalm 96 when you're there look at verse number nine
of psalm 96 oh worship the lord in the beauty of holiness fear before him all the earth say among
the heathen that the lord reigneth notice the world also shall be established that it shall
that it shall not be moved he shall judge the people righteously and they'll say see this
proves geocentricity this proves that the earth is not orbiting the sun this proves that our earth
is not spinning because the bible says that the earth shall not be moved and you know i just
believe the bible that's just what the bible says okay well let's keep reading verse 11 let the
heavens rejoice the sky is just like the sky is rejoicing no heaven where god dwells is rejoicing
no it's poetic look and let the earth be glad i mean the earth is just drawing a big smile
from the west to the east and earth is just chuckling and slapping its knee and shooting
its pistol in the air because the earth is glad right let the sea roar and the fullness thereof
let the field be joyful you know we got a lot of fields in oklahoma have you ever been walking
through a field you just hear the field start laughing that'd be pretty scary right that's not
a thing folks okay let the field be joyful and all that is therein notice and then shall all
the trees of the wood rejoice have you ever seen a tree that's happy you ever heard a tree start
laughing no folks it is poetic it's metaphors when it's saying that the earth is going to stand
still it's not saying that it's literally not spinning or literally not orbiting and i think
a great verse to help us understand this i'll just read this for you is first corinthians 1558
great verse therefore my beloved brethren be ye steadfast unmovable always abounding in the work
of the lord as much as he know that your labor is not in vain in the lord so notice always abounding
in the work of the lord is the same thing as being unmovable right so let's say that i just have a
manner of life about myself and you have this manner of life about yourself let's say you wake
up every morning and you read the bible every day you pray every day you go soul winning every day
you go to church every week and you just keep doing that then you're not being moved from your
course right or if i'm like running at a nine minute mile pace and i say hey i'm going to stay
at this pace i'm saying i'm not going to be moved from this pace that doesn't mean that i'm literally
not moving right if you're doing all this work for god you know you want to be steadfast unmovable
meaning you're continuing in that path that you're going down right so it's like hey the earth does
have some movement literally the earth is spinning the earth is on an orbital you know trajectory
around the sun and if those things stay constant then it's not moving it's it's consistent it's
steadfast it's unmovable now go to genesis chapter number one talked about number one god created the
earth in six literal days the big bang theory is false doctrine and the gap theory is 100
garbage false doctrine number two this morning god created the universe with the appearance of age
this is super important i believe in this doctrine wholeheartedly and i'm going to show and here's
thing let me be honest there's no verse that says like god created the earth with the appearance of
age but i believe i'm going to show you a ton of bible right now that's going to prove that this
principle is biblical look at genesis 1 verse 11 and god said let the earth bring forth grass the
herb yielding seed and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind whose seed is in itself upon
the earth and it was so and the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after his
kind notice and the tree yielding fruit whose seed was in itself after his kind and god saw that it
was good when god created grass and trees he did not create little saplings that had to be watered
that had to be tended to for 10 15 years before the tree could grow and start yielding fruit god
created the grass and the trees and immediately the grass and the trees started yielding fruit
right so how old is that tree you know a few seconds old when god creates it like it's brand
new it's there but it's not like if we were to get a seed and put that thing in the earth
and have it grow with a certain amount of time no god he put that thing in the ground and it was
already producing fruit was already reproducing was already producing fruit what is this this is god
creating things with the appearance of age it's not that that tree is actually thousands of years
old it's not that that tree is actually millions of years old but that tree has a mature appearance
and if you were to cut into that tree i believe you'd see all the rings and all the signs of
maturity that would exist with the tree that we would see today that has existed for a very
long time okay look at genesis 1 verse 20 it says and god said let the waters bring forth abundantly
the moving creature that hath life and foul that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of
heaven and god created great whales and every living creature that moveth with the waters
which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind and every winged foul after his kind
and god saw that it was good and god blessed them saying notice be fruitful and multiply
and fill the waters in the seas and let foul multiply in the earth notice when god created
sea life and when god created the fouls the birds of heaven notice they were already mature enough
to reproduce right because if he's commanding them be fruitful and multiply then they have
already reached the maturity of their species to be able to reproduce sexually now if those things
were literally just like little tadpoles in the water little baby birds that just came out of the
egg and they're just like you know falling out of the nest and stuff like that would they be able
to reproduce at that time no right so the sea life and the birds they're created fully mature
right even though those that those creatures are maybe a day old or maybe an hour old god's already
telling them be fruitful and multiply because he created a fully mature creation let's look at
another example go to genesis 1 verse 26 and so like it brings brings this question and people
will act like oh this is such a silly unknowable question like what came first the chicken or the
egg it's undoubtedly the chicken that came first it's not even a question right it's like what came
first the chicken the chicken came first and the chicken was a mature chicken right the birds were
mature the fish were mature you know people say does adam have a belly button i am fully persuaded
that adam did have a belly button because i believe that god created a fully mature creation
with the appearance of age and it's like was he literally connected to an umbilical cord well it's
like did those birds grow up their little bird birdy childhood no but god created things with
the appearance of age look at genesis 1 verse 26 it says and god said let us make man in our image
after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the earth
and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
verse 27 so god created man in his own image in the image of god created he him male and female
created he them i believe that adam looked like the lord jesus christ because of course jesus
christ is the express image of god the father's person and the first man adam was made in the
image of god in the likeness of god well it's like did jesus have a belly button yes he did
so would adam have that if he's made in the image of god absolutely he would it says in verse number
28 or i'm sorry uh verse yeah excuse me verse 28 and god blessed them and god said unto them notice
be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of
the sea and over the foul of the air and over every living thing that got that moveth upon the
earth it's like when adam and eve were created they were not little babies okay they were not
newborns they were not infants they were not children they were created as fully developed
mature adults that were ready to reproduce sexually that's why he's saying hey you know be fruitful
and multiply how would this be possible if god did not create a mature creation if god did not
create things with the appearance of age and of course go to genesis 4 verse 1 genesis 4 verse 1
there's a couple clues that we know of course that these were adults one is that adam is walking
around the garden with the voice of god right the voice of god is walking around the garden with
adam you know they're talking can't do that with a baby eve is walking around talking to satan
that's not things that babies do but it is something that some older women do verse number
one of genesis 4 says and adam knew eve his wife and she conceived and bear cane and said i've
gotten a man from the lord folks this is not a child pregnancy this is not a teen pregnancy
this is a fully mature adult woman and they're created and they just immediately start having
babies right why because god created everything with the appearance of age god created a fully
mature world go to genesis chapter number one again now here's the thing i personally just
despise it when christians deny reality i despise it it makes me super angry it makes christianity
look bad it makes us look stupid so there's things that exist in our physical universe
that scientists would point out and they'll say like for example you know the center of
the milky way galaxy is 26 000 light years away from planet earth what is a light year it is the
amount of time that it takes for light to travel in one year of time right and of course we know
that the earth is actually around 6 000 years old so the question is like well how could there be
light emanating from a source that's 26 000 light years away or other stars they'll they'll use
stellar parallax to measure the distance of stars and they'll say this star is a million this star
is a billion light years whatever right and and people who are christians will just completely
deny that reality and deny that science and i'll say i i accept that science 100 you know why
because i believe that god created everything with the appearance of age and so god created
the light already here you know it's not that god turned on the light on the star and it took you
know 26 000 light years to get here it's that god created everything in the universe and he just
created the light already here it's a miracle of course creation is a miracle god's creating
everything from nothing of course it's a miracle but i'm not going to sit here and deny you know
these type of sciences that say you know this is how far away this stuff is there's no need to when
you understand that god created everything with the appearance of age you get other weird doctrines
where if there's any type of physical evidence that'll point towards the earth or the galaxy
appearing to be older than 6000 years old people just hit the flood button you know it's like the
flood is the answer for everything but here's the thing the earth and the universe is truly 6000
years old ish right but i'm not afraid of saying like for example that things are that far away
with stars or that things can appear older than that because i believe god created everything
with the appearance of age where you start getting into weird stuff is like you know kent hovind his
idea is that the moon for example was created with no blemishes on it whatsoever that the moon
when it was created by god that it had no craters that it was perfect whatever that means like it's
perfect to who kent hovind like i think the moon is pretty dang cool how it looks right now you know
but he'll say like the moon was created perfect and the moon had no craters it with no blemishes
whatsoever and he'll say like well then how did how did the moon you know get these craters because
when you look at the moon there's like craters within craters within craters and the thing looks
pretty dang old right when we say this is how the moon got its craters when the fountains of the
earth broke up in the flood the earth you know that exploded from itself basically sent rocks
into space 244 000 miles into space and just started crashing into the surface of the moon
and the rocks that missed the moon went around the moon got pulled into its gravitational field
and went back and hit it somehow with that same force to cause all of those craters like folks
that is stupid that makes christianity look dumb right and what is it it's like well people are
just afraid of science or afraid of discovering this stuff when i just believe god created
everything with the appearance of age and i don't really care how old people say the moon is because
god just made it look that old i know that it's 6 000 years old that's how old it actually is in
reality but here's the thing if i was looking at adam and eve i would say these people are 30 years
old these people are 25 years old just looking at their appearance but really they're one day old
and it's like you know they are having babies at one years old but they're fully adult people
right so i believe this doctrine is just really ironclad um let's talk about this number three
number three this morning the firmament is not a solid dome okay the firmament is not a solid dome
genesis 1 verse 6 let's look at the verses on the firmament it says and god said let there be a
firmament in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters and god made
the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were
above the firmament and it was so and god called the firmament heaven and the evening in the morning
were the second day a lot of people believe that the firmament is some sort of solid dome that's
going around the earth and that we have you know waters in our ocean but that beyond that impenetrable
dome exists just waters this is where you hear online the term like space is fake and gay is
these retards that believe that the firmament is a literal physical structure and that beyond that is
just water right so this is why many people don't believe we've gone to the moon don't believe that
we've sent the Hubble telescope you know into space don't believe that rovers have ever gone
to Mars or these places because it's impossible because we have an impenetrable dome that god
made to separate the waters from the waters so they just deny reality because of their weird
interpretation of this verse and what they're really doing is they're really helping satan
make christianity look dumb because that's not what this is okay look at verse number 14
says and god said here comes that hyperbolic language again and god said let there be lights
in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night and let them be for signs and for
seasons and for days and years so they'll say see we have a local sun we have a lot we have local
moon and local stars and you know i don't know i don't know if nasa went up there and like pasted
the sun and pasted all the stars but they'll say that literally like within this enclosed dome
exists the sun moon and stars that god created these lights because it says it's in the firmament
okay what if i told you that we use language like this today when we're not talking about the sun
literally being in some sort of glass dome like hey look at the moon in the sky isn't it beautiful
hey look at the sunset sinking down into the ocean folks we're not saying that the sun is
literally just like it's going down in the ocean it's just like from our perspective the sun is
in the sky the moon is in the side because where else can we look right i mean we live on a globe
by the way i can't look like through the earth to the other side to see what's going on over there
like i could just see what's in the sky and when the sun is in the sky it's in the sky when i when
the moon is in the sky it's in the dang sky it's not literally saying that it's local to us that
it's right here in the little dome you know that is insanity genesis 1 look at verse 14 again it
says and god said let there be lights hey in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the
night let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years i think that you know this
verse actually gives glory to god and to the bible because the bible is understanding things
about the nature of our physical universe way before people ever understood that we use the
things like the sun for the seasons why because the earth is in orbit around the sun and that
determines spring summer winter fall all those things the bible is literally telling us that that
is for signs for seasons for days of course one rotation of the earth is a day and years so look
we don't have to deny science or be afraid of studying these things because this is like basic
stuff we learn in middle school and the bible is already telling us about it in genesis chapter
one that's pretty amazing verse 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth and it was so just saying let them be for lights in the sky right in the heaven
heaven just means sky firmament's talking about the sky it says in god here again people get weird
and god made two great lights greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night
he made the stars also again don't get overly literal with the language of the bible the bible
is not teaching that the moon emanates its own light because this is another thing that some
christians believe i've heard people say this nonsense in person that well the bible says god
made two great lights therefore everything we know about science is false and even though like we've
been to the moon have taken pictures of the moon and have seen the dark side of the moon somehow
the moon is just giving its own light no we know folks that the moon is a light because it reflects
the light of the sun this is just physical reality and how could you say that because it's not
emanating its own light that that discounts it from being a light when there's a full moon in the sky
folks it is a light when there's a really bright moon and it's a full moon you could walk outside
and literally see your shadow at night because the moon is so bright of course the moon is a light
but that does not mean that it's emanating its own light so again you don't want to just take
everything so literally and the bible says that the thought of foolishness is sin it's like some
people get really offended and upset that i will call ideas like this stupid but some people just
need a man of god to tell them that they're sinning by being stupid that it is a sin to be
foolish and it's not like well let's just respect everybody's stupid retarded ideas that make the
bible look bad no someone needs to say this is foolish this is idiotic stop making jesus look bad
by denying reality verse 17 and god set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth
and to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness and god saw
that it was good and the evening and the morning were the fourth day and god said let the waters
bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life the the and foul that may fly above the
earth notice this in the open firmament of heaven right so the birds are not flying above some hard
dome they're not flying underneath some hard dome they're flying in the open firmament because what
the firmament is folks is it's the sky it's the atmosphere that is what the firmament is look what
it says in genesis 1 verse 6 it says and god said let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters
and let it divide the waters from the waters and god made the firmament and divided the waters which
were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament and it was so god called
the firmament heaven what's that talking about talking about the sky and the evening in the
morning we're the first day so there's water that's being separated under the firmament
over the firmament and some people will again say that's talking about the oceans on earth
and you know space isn't real but beyond the dome beyond the yonder dome up there is all this water
no you know what exists in our atmosphere folks water exists in our atmosphere because did you
know that we could have different atmospheric conditions on earth like rain like fog like sleet
like hail like snow these are all different atmospheric conditions and guess what within
the atmosphere exists water and so it is separating the waters from the waters
but it's not saying that it is a literal dome i'll read for you psalm 148 verse 1 the bible
says praise thee the lord praise thee the lord from the heavens praise him in the heights praise
him all ye all his angels praise ye him all his hosts praise ye him sun and moon praise him all
ye stars of light praise him ye heavens of heavens and ye waters that be above the heavens so in
genesis and in psalm 148 it's talking that water that's above the heavens water that's in the sky
because the word heaven could be understood as a couple different things it could be understood as
our immediate sky it's like i'm jumping in the sky right now okay i just went up to heaven folks
came back already i was i'm already here okay you could talk about outer space as being heaven or
you could talk about the place that god dwells that spiritual place that god dwells as being
heaven all three are heaven so if there's any water in the sky it's perfectly fine to say
that that water is in heaven or that water is above the heavens that water is in the firmament
now i will say this even though the firmament is not some sort of solid impenetrable object
around the earth it is true that the firmament or the atmosphere does have mass it is a real
thing that actually has mass why because our atmosphere is just chock full of oxygen
and nitrogen molecules and those things actually have real weight this is why we have this thing
called air pressure the reason air pressure exists is because air has mass the atmosphere has mass
and that mass is being pulled down to the center of the earth through gravity and so at any given
point on earth you're going to experience air pressure right so when i was in flight school
when i was flying learning how to fly airplanes every single time before we took off we had to
adjust our altimeter based on the atmospheric pressure that exists at that time which usually
is like 29.92 or flight level talk it's the you know what's it called the pressure system that
exists the altimeter is basically just a pressure sensor and if you go to a different you know
airport it might have a different you know thing that you have to tune it to based on its elevation
and the air pressure that you're experiencing otherwise you're going to have a wrong reading
on your altimeter it's like do people just deny that this exists like is air pressure just not
real because like how is air pressure real because the firmament does have mass and it's
being pulled in by gravity that's how we actually have you know air pressure now again it's not a
physical dome it's not an impenetrable object but it does have real mass for example this is why
during apollo missions when they had to make re-entry into earth the spacecraft had to enter
the atmosphere at a very specific angle because if it went too sharp to the earth they're just
going to burn up they're going to die if they go too shallow they're going to literally skip off
the earth's atmosphere and miss planet earth this is why they had a heat shield on their capsule
because they're re-entering earth going 25 000 miles an hour and if you and i were able to run
25 000 miles an hour on the surface of the earth we would just immediately die we just immediately
be burned up we would be incinerated why because when you're colliding with oxygen and nitrogen
molecules at 25 000 miles an hour this thing exists called friction how do you have friction
because something has mass so the earth's atmosphere is not just empty nothingness it is a real
structure it is a real object that god created that has mass but it's not an impenetrable dome
right so again i just how do you deny that this stuff exists it's just literally reality denial
it's just complete reality denial i guess to believe the glass dome theory you just have to
deny air pressure you just have to deny that altimeters are doing anything you know nasa and
every single plane manufacturer in the world are in on this conspiracy to train young pilots
that when you get in the cockpit you got to tune that altimeter to 29.92 it's just all a conspiracy
that nasa wants you to believe to to make you an atheist somehow i mean folks these people
are retarded this is stupid this makes christianity look bad these people deny reality they don't know
anything about anything they just watch stupid conspiracy videos they watched a dumb documentary
they watched a dumb tiktok video and they've convinced themselves that they're smarter than
everyone they were wise in their own conceits but they're just fools that's really what they are
go to isaiah 42 number four the earth is a sphere okay the earth is a sphere and it's so sad that
so many people think that the bible teaches that the earth is flat and even if you just go to grok
or chat gbt and you just ask it like what shape is the earth according to the king james bible
it'll tell you oh it's flat it's just like oh no that's not true look what isaiah 42 verse 22 says
it is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers
that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in so notice
that god is sitting upon the circle of the earth and again what is this this is pretty poetic
right so we're not just saying that the earth is literally just like a two-dimensional circle
or that god is literally sitting down on this two-dimensional circle right and we're not saying
that the in the inhabitants thereof are grasshoppers i mean that's what it says the
inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers it's just saying we're small in comparison to the universe
right that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in very
beautiful language right but the earth is a circle so it's it's not a turtle it's not a square it's
not you know a flat square or something like that it's a circle and when you have a circle
in a three-dimensional world this is called a sphere this is called a sphere folks and that's
what the earth is go to job 26 job 26 job chapter 26 look at verse 7 he stretcheth out the north
over the empty place and hangeth the earth upon nothing right so the earth is just hung upon
nothing it's just in the middle of space and while this verse doesn't specifically say that
the earth is a sphere here's this awesome thing that we could do is we could look out into the
heavens and we could say oh look at the moon you know what the moon is it's a sphere oh look at
the sun it's a sphere every planet it's a sphere all these heavenly bodies are all spheres why
would the earth be any differently right if the moon is just hanging upon nothing and you know
saturn and and all these different planets are just hanging upon nothing and their circles
why would earth be any different doesn't make any sense no we're hung upon the earth we are a sphere
go to psalm 14 you know pastor shelly many many years ago preached a sermon that was called
flat earthers are stupid wicked or both that was a great sermon i agree a hundred percent with that
and honestly i think that it has to be both i really do think it has to be both because i
think in order to be that stupid and to be that foolish there has to be a character issue with
your heart there's wickedness in your heart that's leading you to be that stupid and i'm
not just making that up that's not just my opinion because i'll just read for you proverbs 1 22 the
bible says how long ye simple ones will ye love simplicity why is someone just perpetually simple
because they just love being stupid that's just what they live for they love being a dumb person
and the scorners delight in their scorning and fools hate knowledge hey how long are you
scorners just going to delight in your scorning how long are you fools just going to hate
knowledge why is it that just anything you bring up to flat earther or these nasa deniers it just
it doesn't matter all the evidence that you could throw in their face they'll never accept it because
they just hate knowledge because they just delight in scorning because they're just simple fools that
love their simplicity and it needs to be rebuked and you know what i would hope that anyone coming
to this church that believes these stupid ideas would feel so uncomfortable that they would never
tell anyone about it and that you would just hopefully just privately change in your heart
and realize wow i was simple i need to change look don't go around telling people that the earth is
flat don't go around telling people that we've never been to space don't go around telling people
that there's a physical dome around the earth i will rebuke you for it it is stupid it makes
christians look dumb it really does because it is dumb and guess what some christians though
they're saved though they're going to heaven some christians are just stupid you know christians can
be dumb christians can decide not to read their bible and not to get wisdom and not to get
knowledge and they could be poor representations of jesus christ and that's what these people are
that are flat earthers they're stupid and they're wicked where'd i have you go prover uh psalm 14
psalm 14 verse number four now here's the thing there's a lot of verses that people try to use
to prove that the earth is flat and what they're doing is they're using verses that are explaining
physical reality from an earthbound perspective psalm 14 verse four says this their line is gone
out throughout all the earth and their words to the end of the world in them hath he set a
tabernacle for the sun which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and rejoiceth as a
strong man to run a race his going forth is from the end of heaven and his circuit unto the ends
of it and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Ecclesiastes 1 5 says the sun also
ariseth and the sun goeth down and hasteth to his place where he arose so like you got the sun in
Psalm 14 talking about like it's like a strong man that's rejoicing to run a race and he's going
from one end of the heaven to the other right and some people will will teach like the earth is just
stationary it's not moving but that local sun is just running from one side of you know the dome
to the other but again this is just how the world works from an earthbound perspective right from
an earthbound perspective it looks like the sun is moving it looks like the sun is going across the
sky that's why in Ecclesiastes 1 5 it says the sun also riseth and the sun goeth down
and hasteth to his place where he arose right so the sun is coming up the sun is going down it's
really the earth that is moving and look i don't want to get into a super long dissertation about
the spinning of the earth but i believe that the earth is spinning just like modern science says
it is and it's like well how is it possible for us to not just you know fly off the face of the
earth well there's a couple reasons for that one is this wonderful thing called gravity that exists
and there's this thing called centripetal force when an object is moving in a circle it's the
force that goes towards the center of that circle and anchors that thing there you know if i had for
example you know you ever took your kids by the hands and just spun them in a circle it's like
well how are your kids not just flying off into space because my hands are grabbing them right
well it's like that's what gravity is doing to objects on earth gravity is just pushing us down
towards the center of the earth it's creating centripetal force which is keeping us on earth
and we're also in uniform motion the earth is not speeding up and slowing down and speeding up and
slowing down we're just in uniform motion so because of that we always feel right up even
though you know some days you know the earth is like this and it's spinning and all of a sudden
we're upside down you never feel that because gravity on a sphere is just equal equally acting
on all points of that does that make sense this is just reality sorry for the the science lesson
but this is just how things work but again i have to preach these things because the bible says that
the thought of foolishness is sin oh you're just preaching your opinion oh you're just trying to
make people you know feel bad who believe in the flat earth yeah i am because the bible says that
the thought of foolishness is sin and it is absolutely a sin to be a flat earther it is
because it's foolish it is a sin to deny reality because it's foolish i do not want to be people
that are no we just deny science we deny reality our kids break their leg we're like here sniff
this you know powder and it'll it'll heal it like no we don't deny science we don't deny medicine
we don't deny that diseases are real you know there's people that say that like diseases
aren't real communicable disease is not a real thing the earth is flat we have a dome around us
we've never been to space gravity isn't real it's like ah what is happening it's it's crazy it's
annoying it's frustrating go back to psalm 19 psalm 19 you know i would just advise you not to
let things in the bible that are clearly metaphoric or you know poetic cause you to just deny reality
this is how you should look at things reality is always true the bible is always true if these
things ever conflict you are either not understanding reality or you're not understanding the bible
because the bible is never going to tell you something that's against physical reality yes
there are miracles in the bible and we believe those miracles are real where there's a suspension
of the laws of the universe for a short amount of time you know i can't walk on water but jesus
performed a miracle and he walked on water right but then we don't want to just say like well we're
just going to deny reality we're going to deny truth absolutely not psalm 19 verse 1 the heavens
declare the glory of god and the firmament showeth his handy work i don't know about you but when i
think about something as simple as air pressure i honestly think that that's really cool why because
god created that like it's cool that god just in his infinite wisdom and i don't understand anything
compared to god's understanding of things like my understanding of how the world works and of
physical reality is so just infinitesimally small compared to what actually exists yet i'm blown
away at things like atmospheric pressure and i'm blown away you know at the firmament that god
created and i'm blown away that we figured out a way to go to space and to come back and these
things they all just give glory to god the heavens declared the glory of god the firmament showeth
his handiwork day unto day uttereth speech and night unto night showeth knowledge you know it
just gives glory to god and some at some point in the future i want to preach a whole sermon
just talking about the spiritual pictures that exist with things like the moon and the sun and
the heavenly bodies that god created but you know sometimes i think that we also just need to plant
our feet firmly in reality and just get a reality check and make sure that we're not going off into
these weird crazy ideas that exist out in the world we need to be people that love the truth
and you know i think that's why i get so frustrated with people that deny reality
is because i'm just realizing that either just in whole or in part there's an issue with this
person's heart where they don't fully love truth enough right where they just they love the feeling
that they get of pretending like they have some sort of esoteric special knowledge that all the
dumb plebs don't understand right the kandace owens of this world she thinks she's so smart
and so special because she thinks that space is fake and gay and she thinks the moon landing is
fake and she thinks apollo's fake and she's like bragging in her podcast you know imagine being
married to me where we're laying in bed and i'm reading a book my husband says honey what are you
reading oh just a book about how the earth is flat it's like i can only imagine that for a few
seconds before i want to like drive a pencil in my head you know that'd be horrible but she feels so
special because she's so much smarter than every i mean she's so much smarter than all the aeronautical
engineers and test pilots and people just with all this great education and background that figured
out orbital mechanics and figured out free return trajectory and figured out trans lunar injection
and figured out how to make these things work i mean she's so much smarter than all of them
because she's reading a book about how the earth is flat and space is fake and gay it just pisses
me off it really does because it just shows me that person doesn't love the truth and is it any
coincidence that she's a roman catholic who's gonna split hell wide open don't sit here and defend
this moronic woman to me it just blows my mind how christians they have more of an allegiance
to their stupid conspiracy nonsense that they'll stand with people like candace owen above the
bible oh yeah let's just say oh it's totally cool that she's a catholic but it's pretty awesome
that she denies the moon landing right i mean she's so based about how space is fake and gay
dude you're an idiot you're just making christianity look bad why don't you just
believe the bible i'm not going to stand with some catholic because of her stupid misunderstanding
of reality it's insane and you know by the way you know i'm not saying every single person who
denies the moon landing is stupid but i will say that 99 percent of people who deny the moon landing
are also flat earthers this is just reality so maybe if you believe that dumb thing you should
kind of consider like why do i believe something that all flat earthers champion and love and cheer
for it's not reality it is not reality the you know science is real reality is real the physical
universe is real the moon is real space is real the earth is real we're spinning we're in orbit
around the sun it's not a flat earth okay the earth did not explode and send rocks to make
craters in the moon like please just stop just read a book read the bible believe reality don't
go down this dark path of being foolish let's pray lord thank you for your word and thank you for the
physical reality that you've created and lord help us just to appreciate it and learn about it and
study it and give you the glory for the great creation that you've made we can barely even
scratch the surface of how wonderful and beautiful your creation is i hope that you would never let
us be carried away with science falsely so-called but of course i pray that we would never be people
that deny reality deny science deny the truth help us to love the truth wherever that may lead us
in jesus name we pray amen time we'll turn to our last hymn for the morning in your hymnals number
415 victory through grace 415 415 victory through grace 415 there on the first conquering
