All these things are just speculations and assumptions. Before you show us what are in millions of light year away, show us the real video of the earth we are in, moving around the sun 67000 mph and revolving on it's axis 1000 mph. Prove the gravity. The only thing relied upon to say all the these things is the belief in gravity. Search for every where, you will never see "the law of gravity." rather the theory of gravity. That means it remains unproved.


This is not the Africans thing, Even the white men now ask those Scientists to show the video of the earth's footage if it's moving. They now believe that they have been lied to. All the photos of the earth you have been shown are gci.

Earth is moving 67000 mph, yet some people escaped to the moon. They still able to get to the moving earth. In 1969, they claimed that they went to the moon. Now that the technology has advanced much more, why haven't they been to the moon again?

So self acclaimed theists and atheists have jumped in to derail this thread like they do all other like threads? Everything about science keeps pointing to something much greater than man, billions of galaxies with billions of stars in them...couldn't just be for man could it? Maybe we'd never know, because we seek out these things the wrong way, both scientifically & religiously. But I still remember almighty God gave us charge to multiply on earth, not just to multiply but to conquer it, sadly some people prefer to blind themselves and others to roam the earth without knowing anything about it much less conquering it. If God's will for us is the kind of blind faith that's practiced mostly here in Africa, why did he give us any wisdom at all?

johnydon22:
It's a Spiral galaxy

Yes the Milky way is not stationary either within itself or on the inter galactic vacuum of space.

Not withstanding that it is racing towards the Andromeda galaxy, the milky way Galaxy also is spinning within itself.

It's arms are spinning and orbiting the galactic center.

Our Sun and the entire Solar System is on the Orions Arm of the Galaxy and of course is also swirling around the Galactic center with the rest of the Orions arm other parts of the galaxy.

From the position of the Sun and Solar system in the Galaxy it takes it about ±250million years to complete one orbit around the galaxy.

The last time the Solar system was in this exact position in the galaxy, the Dinosaurs still ruled the earth.


Johnydon22 and Explorers, did dinosaurs really existed.

I hope you know there's an international space station in the low earth orbit n people live n work in it, sometimes for months.........
these astronauts escape from the earth n do get back in......
bcoz I don't really understand ur point about humans escaping to moon n coming back.....
also there are so many video footage of the earth's orbital movement......
mostly from ISS or video images of satellites in space.
if u are waiting for the video of the earth orbiting the sun......
then u obviously don't know what u really talking about

Johnydon22, thanks for these, may the Almighty God reward you. This is coming at a time when my faith and believe in the Bible and my creator is wavering. But now, reading thru all this I am convinced beyond measures that indeed, there MUST have been a creator. If the source of the Universe are nebulars and the source of nebulars are hydrogen.... who created the first hydrogen source? The universe and it's habitants on earth and other planets in the great universe (possibly) is too complex to have just happened by itself..

I want to throw more light on what light years is for people outside Astronomy.

Light travels a distance of 300,000km in one second

Light travels a distance of 18 million kilometres in one minute. One light year is a distance that light can travel in one year which is (18,000,000x60x24x365.25)km.

When sun shine it takes the light 8.7 minutes to get to earth with the speed of light 300,000km per second one can easily calculate sun-earth distance. I will contribute more if u are interested ps

[size=13pt]Amazing. Now wouldn't it be weird if we were the only living beings in the universe. Its utterly impossible if you ask me. so aliens are real, we just haven't seen them...

We came from a source science has not been able to adequately explain, maybe some other living civilizations from us billions of light years away have discovered how the universe came about and how evolution happened, maybe they have been able to create the evolution of beings themselves....

This is beautiful. I wish i was alive to experience the nearing of the Andromeda, would be a sight to see..... [/size]

It is possible for you to see it all....beyond what the telescope could...beyond now...beyond the time factor for time is honestly a relative term and factor...

This is not the 'Motivational speech' type of "it is possible"... and you get nothing. Am talking about real adventures...but you must be bold and adventurous, plus you need to put in lots of love smiley love removes barriers, difficulty...

Why do stars(Planets, galaxies) seem to twinkle when viewed from earth?

Sir, you are very confused, in fact too confused for my liking. As time gradually passes down the 21st century you still choose ignorance over knowledge? cry It would be a shame if you studied anything close to physics at any point in time, because u must av learned a few things about satellites (geostationary and polar to be precise) and der functions... if not read up (Google is ur buddy) cool

About gravity, find ur way to the top of a very tall building, now step off.

The Stars twinkle because of the distortion of the star light as it passes through our atmosphere, the light contains several wavelength which are distorted in our atmosphere.

This exactly when religious beliefs becomes dangerous, it diminishes our youths and mars our intellectual evolution keeping Africa in sheepish ignorance that even the whites who brought these religions here have abandoned it.
