The moons, eclipses, and timing

Seeing as how I'm a newbee in every sense of the word here, I'll waste a little time.As usual, nice presentation.From the NASA link regarding an eclipse at the time of the death of Augustus: We are no longer the "soldiers ignorant of the cause" of eclipses. We know exactly what happens that results in their ocurrence. You would seem, however, to want to continue in the 21st century to take this as some kind of omen, of Almighty God reminding us of his ever present stewardship.If this story of the "eclipse at the heart of the Ram" is meant to be your first "stunning example" of why it is your contention "that all events and occurrences happen according to a perfect timing by the providence of Almighty God", I would only point out that upon looking at the constellation of Aries (a series of unrelated, unconnected stars at vastly varying distances from our solar system) I am not immediately struck with the thought "Hey, a Ram!" - and thus even if I found any of the events leading up to it to be of divine origin, I still don't see any sort of smoking gun here like you do.Regarding the notion that an eclipse at the moment of crucifixion reveals "Perfect timing by the God who ordained it all" - do you mean to imply that when your God set the universe in motion he arranged the orbits so that an eclipse would occur at that precise moment, or that he influenced the orbit at the last minute?Edited by Briterican, : I never get it right the first time.

Adiminnneoususouous wiped the post because it just had a silly picture and added nothing to the discussion, and I don't blame him in the least. He warned me to behave and I shall heed that warning, as so far I feel like a grade school kid amongst a bunch of college students hehe. Guess I just thought I was being funny, but was actually being a twit hehe.Anyway, got that off my chest (in this unmoderated corner). Thank you and back to the topic...

Calypsis4 said: What attitude? The attitude I demonstrated just now when I apologised for getting a bit silly in another thread after having recognised my error?My response in a regular thread (which this topic didn't warrant) would be "I'm sorry if you feel I am so undignified that you don't wish to address my posts. I did tell you that I felt your presentation was nice, and I did ask you a specific question that was very on topic at the end of my post."But since it is a free-for-all thread, I think I shall respond by saying:You make me sad. Briterican sad. Briterican no like silly moon-god man no more.
