A friend of mine just called and had a question on what the Bible says about the age of the Earth. I said, “nothing.” He was in the car with another guy who had some questions about all the other ‘virgin born, dying & rising, savior gods’ like Mithra, Dionysus and Osirus, et. al. I simply pointed out that when one compares the accounts, the similarities are pretty weak, and are often trumped up by imposing Christian concepts and terms onto stories that don’t resemble the Christian definition of these concepts and terms. I recommended a couple of books, and then the guy started in on astrology.
He was telling me how the children of Israel were in the age of Taurus when Moses descended from Mount Sinai and found them worshipping the golden bull, but that they moved into the age of Aries when they blew the ram’s horn as a warning. Now apparently we’re getting ready to move into the age of Pisces for God only knows what reason. The three kings that visited Jesus align with three celestial kings which are constelations of stars, or some other such nonsense.
He kept telling me how perfectly everything matched up and how much sense it all made, to which I replied, “umm… no.” :-| You can make anything fit anything if you try hard enough. But all this atrology nonsense is fishy, and seeing as how it is so fishy and we’re getting ready to enter into the age of Pisces (the fish), I am declaring this the Age of Aquariums. Make sure that your moon is in the seventh house and then enjoy it!
