   what I love about what teacher did and I I love the fact that you know as a as a PhD in physics that she showed you how she came to realize that the two models the model that we have been taught and indoctrinated with that we live on a sphere that is 24 901 miles in circumference and that it's spinning and tilted on an axis and that it's flying through an ever-expanding Universe at 500 000 miles an hour within the Milky Way galaxy which is also moving through an ever-expanding universe I'm going to ask some of you who may be on the fence or you may be not a believer in this and even though you may be a Christian you need to understand something you're going to have to either choose to believe God's word and the evidence that you can see or you're going to have to choose to believe a bunch of people who created a organization called NASA there was originally a CIA organization that was started by former SS Nazi officers and three and 33 degree Freemasons I mean it really comes down to that now let me say this if and I don't have this in the PowerPoint but I'm going to say this one of the most obvious observations that we can all see and acknowledge is true is that the North Star never moves all the other stars move in a complete perfect Circle around the North Star and if we were flying spinning and traveling for thousands of years through an ever-expanding universe that what that view would change those Stars would be all over the place it is it is to me it is the most obvious thing that we live on a stationary Earth that is the North Star is the center of that Circle that God engraved God's Throne is directly above it and every night I can walk out at the same time and the constellation Orion is in the same place of the sky every night so if you if you see that with your eyes yet the government agencies are telling you no you're on a spinning water ball flying through an ever-expanding Universe of vortexing through that over thousands of miles and yet your view never changes what makes more sense God's word says the Earth is still and at rest that's Zechariah 1 11. God's word says the Earth is immovable and fixed God said he said the Earth

   upon the face of the deep the face itself means a level he set the Earth on the face of the deep upon its pillars and it is immovable God's word says the sun and the moon and the stars move in a circuit around us that we are The Sinner of his universe and why would he not make us the center of his universe just think about that let's get into this day I've just entitled this today's simple biblical cosmology we could call it biblical cosmology 101 back to the basics I remember anybody remember the the old football coach Vince Lombardi you remember him you know for that's what the Super Bowl trophy is named after I remember he said when when they started his guys they started getting a little too fancy playing football and I was a football player you start getting a little too fancy with a little too little as they called it in football trickeration right too much of that and and a lot of times we get too complicated things start going downhill and so Lombardi got sick of it and from what I hear I guess it's a it's an old Legend it may be true by not but I like the point he took his team in for a team meeting and he held up a football and he said this is a football and he just kept saying this is a football and all the guys that yeah we know it's a football he goes and what our job is to do is to take this football and move it down the field until we cross this line down here called a goal line and what he was pointing out to them is that they were going to get back to the basics and sometimes we need to get back to basics so that's what we're going to do this morning Back to Basics but here we go I just looked this up just to see you know cosmology we use that term and I like that this little definition here but cosmology is the science of the universe and it says cosmology is the study of the universe as a whole from its origin and we're going to scratch out Evolution there from its origin to its structure and fate the end game so you see that cosmology is a study of now you heard from a PhD in physics this morning that basically what they have is a bunch of theories I didn't when I say a bunch of theories you saw how many theories she put up here and talked about how they fight and argue with each other about their theories they are theories that means the they are just ideas that they cannot prove you know what I you know what I say the definition of a theoretical physicist is somebody who makes crap up right I mean that's their job just to kind of make up stuff and then teach it to our young people as if it's truth this is what's problem our young people have accepted theories and ideas possibilities as truth instead of

   looking at what real science is real science is something that you can observe is it it's an experiment that you can repeat and you get the same result so I'm going to just challenge you right now and say something very clearly to you if you hadn't been to what they allegedly call space if you have been high enough to see then you're believing the men in the white coats and it's a religion because you're trusting what they tell you you're either trusting the astronauts or you're trusting the word of God it's that simple and if you trust the astronauts over the word of God then you have another religion other than Christianity go ahead and chew on that one for a second Bible cosmology and the world's cosmology they don't agree now let's look at this right here now this right here is the concept of what's called Hebrew cosmology or biblical cosmology now what I appreciate how many of you heard of Dr Michael Heiser you know he just recently passed away from cancer um as sad I remember watching early on his entire teaching and he's a PhD and taught in Theological Seminary and he taught an entire course on Hebrew cosmology basically the three-tiered system and I'm gonna just show it to you real quickly right there number one is that there is the Earth and it is a flat plane it is a circle that God engraved upon the face of the deep he put a boundary there that is Antarctica at 200 foot ice walls that hold the water in okay and that over that God made the firmament that's in Genesis 1 the firmament throughout the scripture we'll see in a minute is a solid crystalline glass that he put over the Earth basically making the earth a terrarium above that firmament and he called the firmament heaven so there's three heavens the heaven is the atmosphere that we live in created by the firmament and then there's the firmament is the second heaven and then Paul talked about going the Apostle Paul talked about going to the third heaven which that is above the firmament where God's Throne sits upon that and there's also Waters there above that firmament according to Genesis 1. so this is your three-tier and of course below the Earth you have the underworld or sheol or uh there's really what I've taught you guys know about the the series I did on the Mountain of God in the north and Paradise under the Earth is a real Hollow open place and there are two places there divided by A Great Gulf one is Paradise or Eden is there

   under the Earth and hell is also there and then hell has different compartments to it hell goes down the deepest part of hell is Tartarus all right and then under that you have the great deep the Waters of the great deep that broke up and came up and helped to flood the Earth in the days of Noah now Dr Michael Heiser PhD in theology one of the founders of Logos Bible Software taught this is what Moses and Joshua and all of the Old Testament people and Saints and Prophets believed now you're either going to say that we have figured out things better than Moses who was up on the mountain with God for 40 days and when he came down his face was glowing and scared everybody to death or we're going to believe a bunch of people that have big fancy degrees but only a bunch of theories but Pastor Dean I've seen pictures from space Have You why does the guy who did the Blue Marble picture that was on your Apple iPhone when it came out why did he admit publicly that it's photoshopped he said it's Photoshop because it has to be there's pictures from NASA that I'm not I'm not showing that I can't show you everything there's pictures from NASA of different time periods you'll have a picture from 2000 say 2008 and then a picture from 2012 with the same cloud formations you have pictures from NASA uh from different years that'll have the United States this big and then another one where it's covering the whole circle I've spent a lot of time studying NASA's nonsense and again it's really going to come down to are you going to believe God are you going to believe the theorist of NASA now let's keep going as I said a minute ago and I'm just going to put it on the screen you have to pick one of these now there are Christians that try to live in that little white space right there in the middle but you really have to pick now don't get me wrong you know when I was running for governor of Alabama and I got interviewed by a Huntsville news media and one of the questions they asked me because in Huntsville Alabama it's a big NASA Space Center right talking about putting space force there they said how do you expect people in the Huntsville area who are a part of NASA to vote for you and I said well I said I happen to know what NASA does and what they don't do I said I spent hours
