IX. HAVE WE PROVED OUR POSITION FROM THE BIBLE?

I BELIEVE that every one who has faithfully followed our reasoning from the beginning will admit that the Scriptures do indeed appear to show that Jehovah was to come into the world, as already indicated, in the limitations of a man, and that this fulfilment has been realized in Jesus Christ; thus, if God is one, as the Scriptures claim, then Jehovah must be Jesus expressed in the terms of time and space.

In order to accept the fact of the solar system as it really exists, not as it appears, it is not necessary for us to know how the sun and our earth and the other planets are suspended in space, nor what law governs their activities. They are suspended in space; they move and act as we see them. We can demonstrate the facts. We perceive them to be unassailable.

Why did false conceptions concerning the earth and the sun exist for so many thousands of years? Why was the theory of Copernicus rejected for so long after it was demonstrated?
