"I keep thinking about the “big picture” and how to express it, while trying to keep faithful to what the Bible has told us."

Same here and boy oh boy is this picture big!

The minutea that I can sort of begin to grasp is mind blowing.

John 6:29 is a verse that has shouted (so to speak) to me for a long time now.Seeing many swirling points nutshelled such as you have done is very helpfull in that regard and is,I think,of paramount importance.

Grace and peace to you both.

The speed of our planet that you reference is relative to another body in space, it is not an absolute speed.

You have no way of knowing how fast the planet is moving in “absolute” speed, because so far as we know there is no such thing as “absolute” speed, only speed relative to other bodies.

If a train is moving at just under speed of light, and it has a headlight, what do you see? If you are on the train, you see the light from the headlight move away at the speed of light.

If you are watching the train you see blackness in front of the train, because the beam does not move in front of the train at all. We explain that by saying the train has time-dilated, so while the light is moving at the speed of light in the train’s point of reference, we are seeing it moving at 1/c time-rate.

If we had the technology to travel that fast. Otherwise, the only way to travel through space is through worm holes. Any other way is purely a pipe dream.

Perhaps I put more emphasis on Adam and Even that planned as the article was more about letting go of a failed relationship. The emphasis was to encourage those in such a relationship to seek the counsel of God and not the flesh.
