The Transit of Venus

The transit of the planet Venus across the Sun is occurring today and tomorrow...but don't worry if you miss it...the next transit will be in 2117...during the Millennial Reign!  We have solar filters that fit on our old theodolites and total stations. We used them (back in the old days!!!) to do solar observations to determine astronomic or true north.  I set up one of the total stations, attached the filter, focused on the sun and the result is the pictures below.  I took my old digital camera and pressed the lens against the eyepiece of the total station and it took some good pictures!  You can faintly see the cross-hairs of the total station in the pictures.  Venus is the little spot in the top right part of the Sun.

Our God is an Awesome God!  We do not live in a world of evolutional-schmevolutional chaos.  Our Creator brought order to chaos!

Gen 1:1-2  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  (2)  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  And at the end of every day of creation, God looked at his handiwork and declared it to be GOOD!
 
Don't worry about the idiots that say global warming will destroy the earth, that the ozone layer (or lack thereof) will change the seasons or cataclysmic climate change is coming (see below)

Gen 8:22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Amen!
