Just had a thought about my "God's assembly line" thing. God said He'd never again destroy the Earth the way he did with the Flood, so what if the assembly line is going toward the sun? It makes more sense the other way though (as much as it can I guess).

Well, He said He'd never again destroy the world with a flood. If it were to turn into a cold, barren desert, its not the same thing.
But following that train of thought: what if Venus were Eden?

One word:
Perelandra.

If it's going toward the sun, then the polar ice caps would melt and the world WOULD flood again.
Besides, we know Mars was once wet. It couldn't have been wet in the distant past if it used to be much farther from the sun. It would've been all frozen.
Still, it's your idea, so do it whichever way you want!

Solar flare could evaporate it all...something nasty like that article I read about a solar geyser...

Jeff, I really like that idea. Reminds me a bit of Demon, A Memoir...Tosca described the fall of the demons so wonderfully...it seemed like they were on another Earth...could have been similar for Eden! **Chills** You could go far with this one!

Thanks, fairieswriter, and I'm thrilled by the reference to Tosca's book, the acquisition of which I was part of at NavPress.

I need to read that one; the one about Eve looks like a real winner.

Good job bringing that post back from the ages, it is a cool concept. C.S. Lewis' "Perelandra" did touch on Venus being a "live world" that didn't fall like Earth. But I also like his idea of space being the actual world where spiritual beings live and battle. The planets are "voids in space" that the beings can descend into and visit.

Here's another idea to throw into the kettle....what's God planning to do with all those billions of galaxies and "empty" unformed planets out there? I don't have the exact figures (because I'm no earthly good with numbers), but I remember reading somewhere that if we divided the number of galaxies among people, every man, woman and child on the earth would get around a hundred. Kind of exciting, no?
And I love the idea of Mas being Eden! Isn't there a reference in scriptures about the deserts blooming again in the end times? Well, Mars has more deserts than earth!

"In my Father's house are many mansions." Who's to say that each star system isn't a mansion in the great house of God? And in regards to God never destroying the Earth with a flood of water again, the Bible explains itself when writings about the end times show that He will destroy it with a flood of fire. I think it's an interesting concept that the planets are being birthed from the sun and we would be able to spend all of eternity watching the birth, life and death of planets along with the many other wonders of God. Perhaps Pluto was a great planet at one time as Earth is now and then the life went away to form deserts, then more and more ground "evaporates" into a gaseous mix that clings to the planet as it gets smaller and smaller and further and further away from the central star of our Sun and then the planet just got so small the gravity no longer could hold all the gas and it just got released into space to reveal the now smaller planet beneath. Just some thoughts bouncing off the ideas presented herein. |

The estimated number of stars in the universe is the number 7 followed by 22 zeros. And yet, we can see only 6000-7000 of those with our naked eyes from the Earth. Sort of brings into perspective how little of what is truly happening we can perceive, huh? |
