This gives credence to the idea that the sun and moon revolve around the Earth, which is exactly how the cosmos would look to an Earth-bound naked eye. The deity had a perfect opportunity to demonstrate his divine omniscience and he blew it.
The church has known for over 500 years that the biblical creation story bears not the slightest resemblance to the universe we live in. Yet, the Christian lie persists because there are too many people making too much money to let it die.
I have already come to terms with the fact that even if science ever finds a way to undisputedly prove that god does not exist, people everywhere will still follow religion and make excuses. I can see it now…between the outright denials and the claims that god is simply testing us.
