Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun.
(Psa 19:4)
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.
(Isa 40:22)
See when the Bible says that God hath set a tabernacle for the sun, Tabernacle being tent, what he is referring to is space, as you can see in the above verse. To understand the Bible fully, you need a thorough knowledge of it. Taking one verse and resting all your understanding on that, is like trying to understand all that is in a large room by peeking through the keyhole. Tent for the sun mean space. (Isaiah 40:22) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Gen 1:1)He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. (Job 26:7) See so both the Earth, sun and stars are seen to be in this tent known as space, or as it is called in the Bible, heaven. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. (Gen 1:14-16) The sun dwells in this tent, however big it is, space houses not only our sun but all of them. And they are of infinite number.

Actually, factual modern astronomy must be consistent with Biblical truth. I really don't care to make God's Word match up with human "science".

The reality of the Cosmos is entirely inconsistent with the Bible.

Um, no, not in the least. In fact, were it not for the perspective that the universe is an ordely place whose workings can be understood by means of discovering the consistent principles that govern it, there would be no reason to believe we could know anything about it at all.

I'm unsure what profit there is in saying this with no backing. Perhaps you would like to share what led you to this conclusion?

The universe is orderly relative to what?

No, not really. There are myriads of possible explanations to this, which I would go into, but I leave for work in two minutes!

Do you believe it is disorderly? That it is not cosmos?

Relative to our ability to be able to comprehend it's laws and the mathematics that represent them.

How cryptic.
Why would the distance of a star, or the fact that it ceased to exist, have anything to to with being 'inconsistent'with the Bible; or more specifically what exact portion of the Bible would this fact be inconsistent with?

Well said DrMark. I don't know of *anything* in astronomy that is in the least bit incompatible with the Bible.
