When God made the heavens and the earth everything was perfect. The stars and the planets were in their correct order and location and everything was ‘on the move’. Planet earth, the sun and the moon each were set revolving in an orderly manner.
The earth revolves around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour.
The sun orbits at 492,000 miles per hour.
The moon orbits Earth at a speed of 2,288 miles per hour and completes its circuit in just less than 28 days.
But note the following:
- We have no sensation of movement of any kind, other than we can see the moon in different positions in the sky.
- We can trust and depend upon the stability of this order and mariners can plot their course by fixing their location in relation to the North Star.
- We don’t have to worry when we go to bed at night that the sun will rise in the East and bring all the benefits to planet Earth that it requires to sustain life.
