Space, Planets? Click here for something special

Dave in Tenn:
In English.  I'm betting before English became the dominant language of science and borrowed the names from the Greeks and Romans, other cultures called the known planets by other names.  I think they probably still do, in their own languages.

When you consider how knowledge has increased and technology has advanced, it should be no surprise that mankind is learning things that are not specifically mentioned in the Bible. The Bible may not mention black holes or supernovae, but it doesn't talk about automobiles and computers either.

Automobiles here?

Isa 2:7  Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

I suspect computers are also alluded to somewhere. We just have not seen it yet.

John from Kentucky:
Ezekiel 1 describes the throne of God carried by the four Cherubim.

Ezekiel 1:15-21 describes 4 wheels next to the Cherubim.  They were described as a wheel within a wheel.  Sounds like a gyroscope.  Some type of directional device that went with the Cherubim as they changed direction.  Like Ray once said, God has a very high I.Q.

Musterseed:
Job 31-33.   About the constellations

Can you bind the chains of the PLeisdes
or loose the cords of Orion?
Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season,
or can you guide the Bear with its children?
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you establish their rule on the earth?

Excellent observation!
