The night sky is full of stars which they tell us are not just stars but galaxies. But the night sky is still dark. The only star that makes our sky light is the sun. The rest of the night sky is more like a calendar than anything.
"Then God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth; and it was so." Gen.1:14-15
The earth spins on it's axis at 1037 mph as it zooms around the sun at 67000 mph. All of this motion and high speed and on earth we feel nothing. We have no sense of moving at all.
Science asks questions for which no scientific answer is needed. The night sky is light enough and as interesting as you want to make it. The planet we live on is moving but it is so big and the distance is so great that no instrument on earth can measure it. Pride makes God's place for us seem small and insignificant.
We live in a world that is perfect for us. God made the place first to make sure it was right before He put man in it. And one day He will make a new heaven and a new earth to be perfect for us for eternity.
"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea." Rev.21:1
So if you think that Heaven will be like your favorite spot on earth I hate to disappoint you. Heaven is where we go until we return to the new place that God will prepare for us.
Oh how He loves us!
