This is the first installment in the series that will review Danny Faulkner's book Falling Flat to see if it academically honest. The front and back cover make audacious claims and leave one questioning why choose a straw man to represent the Flat Earth?
Romans 1:20 (actually 1:18-23 and frankly the rest of the whole chapter) was a seminal scripture for me. I was introduced to it through presuppositionalist apologetics when dealing with atheists, who denied the existence of God. The chapter basically says, we ALL KNOW God BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING HE CREATED, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE. We don’t have any excuse to know that God IS. And the only difference between believers and atheists is that though both camps KNOW (in their hearts) that God exists, the atheists simply withhold the truth in unrighteousness.
Enter the idea of our CREATION and our cosmology... and that chapter points out that we KNOW God because we see His creation... everything He created. We can’t help but know that the God of the Bible is the Creator. We see and experience it, and He describes it in his Word.
Skip ahead to reading Genesis one day, and getting hit over the head with the thought: ALL OF THIS IS TRUE. I can have absolutely no idea WHAT the “firmament” is and how it works, but at the very least, I can KNOW that God made it, and it exists. It is tangible, not ethereal or conceptual. It is spread across the sky like a tent to dwell in. I could go on. But once I humbled myself and repented of my disbelief that God knew what he was doing and His word was true, scriptures came alive to me. It was literally like my eyes were opened and the scales torn away. Light was shining on the lies of the world, making them easy to see. IF the firmament is true, then men going past it into a 10^-17 Torr “near perfect vacuum” and landing on the moon... is FALSE.
I’ve been thinking about the firmament today. This is something Will Duffy and other globe believers flat out deny. Yet, how can it be other than a solid sky?
I haven't watched this series yet, but it includes over 8 hrs. of content responding to Dr. Faulkner's claims: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtZOGLN0TElhAo2RZx7ofKiKKHHbI-Phx&si=MbG91Qhc9xZaH8aj
This pastor did a good job as well addressing some of the seriously egregious Scripture twisting by Faulkner in this book: https://youtu.be/cLVWV0K0HUU?si=mxq9MLdCCId3nvc_
Thank you. I have not seen this. I appreciate you sharing. It will be very helpful as I dig in.
This is an excellent playlist. BibleU is a channel worth subscribing to. Thank you.
