Lol the space heresies serve no biblical purpose, in fact they run contrary to the Bible, that's why they are heresies. Only purpose they serve is to the heathens to try to attack Christians as stupid whilst ironically they themselves believe in one of the most absurd myths of the modern time. Fun little fact, Galileo actually recanted his heliocentric heresy. That means heliocentricism is admitted to be false by its principle founder. So nothing against Galileo, at least he admitted it was lie
It is no wonder then that only the heretics, pagans, and atheists adhere to this absurd doctrine as it is a lynchpin in their neopagan ideologies from everything pertaining to old earth mythology to alien/ufo cults. Let the heathens mock, I'll take the side of the Bible and what I can test and observe, which is the definition of science.
Only the true biblical cosmology serves a biblical purpose obviously.
Genesis 1:14-19
[SUP]14 [/SUP]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:
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]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.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
[SUP]18 [/SUP]And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Psalm 93:1
1 The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
Psalm 96:10
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
Isaiah 40:22
[SUP]22 [/SUP]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:
Ecclesiastes 1:5
[SUP]5 [/SUP]The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
Psalm 19:4-6
[SUP]4 [/SUP]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,
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Joshua 10:12-14
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.
Isaiah 45:6
[SUP]6 [/SUP]That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

[SUP]33 [/SUP]Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
Isaiah 40:26
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
Matthew 24:29-30
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
[SUP]30 [/SUP]And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
