Winter solstice

RE: Winter solstice
(August 13, 2010 at 6:37 pm)Captain Scarlet Wrote: After moving steadily southwards in the sky the sun reaches an end to it's winter cycle on the 21st of December, the shortest day in the northern hemisphere. For 3 days the sun appears to stand still in the sky before apparently rising again on the 25th. Thanks to our understanding of celestial mechanics we understand why. Does this trouble christians? On the face of it it offers an explanation of the resurrection myth. Instead of a miraculous event it was really mysticism that the resurrection refers to

What makes you think something like that would ever bother christians we do study science, even have evolutionary science forced upon us in public schools.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
