That was amazing. The singing of the cosmos. And here I thought God enjoyed only the beauty of it all.

Humans have been looking to the stars for a long time. In ancient times priests would stay up all night and study the starry sky. Then when something out of the ordinary and unpredictable happened, they'd interpret it as : The King and all his court had to be killed and replaced. We have both mythological and archaeological evidence of this.

And of course there's astrology. Or the idea that the arrangements of planets at our birth effect us here on earth. There was a time when astrology was dominate and even informed scientific astronomy. Even in the NT it is said that the image of the goddess Diana came down from Jupiter (Acts 19:35)

And now we're looking to the stars for their music. The whole cosmos is singing. So the earth is singing. And those vibrations sing in the cells of our brains. Methinks our music comes from that. And we make beautiful music.

In Revelation God has "the harps of God." Obviously God groves on music.

Thanks for posting for me bro byHismercy. It was wonderful.

Only if a star leads the way.

That's exactly what happened ... for the few who were watching.

See astrology ruled the day. Back then they believed the stars effected them ... and even guided them.

But if a star is going slow enough to guide a walker, it had to be a space ship. Not a star. Cuz we know stars don't do that.

or... the star thing did not happen.

Astrology pretty much held sway, and even guided astronomy, up until the Enlightenment, or the Scientific Revolution. Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and even Newton, believed in astrology. But eventually earth as just another planet killed astrology ; astrology depended on a stationary earth ... as stated in Psalms :

Psa 93:1* 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.*
