Version 1.3 August 2015Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (Previous
Version)
These are the questions we ask in the introduction (Section 0.1.6 –
paragraph 9):
If god did not make them, where did the sun, the moon and
the earth come from? How come we have day and night, tides, months, seasons,
years, continents and seas, wind and rain, drought and dust?
We may refine these as we develop this Chapter.
This chapter covers how the solar system was made and how
the earth formed (geology), in just enough detail so that we can work out what
to believe and why, so that we can decide what to do, in our day to day life,
and in the big decisions of life.
We plan to look at how we know what we know under the
following topic headings. For now, we have indicated below the questions we
intend to address and the main topics we intend to cover.
|
1. The Solar System:
|
Where did the Sun and the
Earth come from?
|
|
2. Inner and Outer Planets:
|
What kinds of planets are
there?
|
Is it
reasonable to break down this area into these topics at this level?
Click on
feedback, or add a comment below, to tell us if you agree or disagree, or
suggest improvements.
|
|
3. The Moon:
|
Where did the moon come from?
|
|
4. Earth’s Structure:
|
How did Earth’s surface form?
|
|
5. Atmospheres:
|
How did we get our atmosphere?
|
|
6. Oceans:
|
How did the oceans and seas
arise?
|
|
7. Continents:
|
How do mountains form?
|
|
8. Terrestrial Forces:
|
Why do we still have
volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis?
|
|
|
9. Seasons and Tides:
|
Why do we have tides and
seasons?
|
|
|
10. Weather and Climate:
|
What makes the wind and rain,
droughts and floods?
|
|
|
11. Long Cycles:
|
What are the long term cycles
that affect us now?
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the current summary of our conclusions in this
area:
Our Sun and its planets – including
Earth – and the Moon developed from clouds of gas and dust left over after
other stars exploded, and now we can explain night and day, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, mountains, the air,
winds, rain, rivers, oceans, continents, tides, seasons, weather and different
climates.

The detailed sections explain how we
justify these conclusions.

Do you know of any great music that would go well with this
page?
Or any of the other pages?
IF
YOU DO, CLICK FEEDBACK.
It could be in any language, or have no words, or just be
instrumental. From pop, to classical, a cappella to orchestral!
Examples of the
music we seek:
● On
the Tenets page, accessed from the main menu, our current choice is a Song
Without Words from Mendelssohn (who died in 1847), Opus 14 Nbr 4, called Contentment. Check it out: the Tenets
conclude most
times, I have a measure of content.
● Chapter 2.3 covers the solar system
and Earth’s development. In there somewhere, surely we should be
hearing Gustav
Holst's The Planets, which premiered 100 years ago. There is a movement for
each of the planets.
Please tell as
much identifying information as you can: a link, and/or the name of the piece
and a person’s name may be enough, but if you know it please also send
the artist/performer, composer/lyricist, year written, year recorded, record
label, copyright owner, or similar details.
We have to worry
about copyright: acknowledge it, and not infringe on it. Music that is
out of copyright, or was never copyrighted (eg like real, ie very old, folk
music) is good. Some material is ‘open source’ allowing others
to use it for free. For newer restricted copyright music we may have to
seek permission to play it, but we can’t afford to pay for it. It
depends on the circumstances. In general, copyright in text, images and music lasts
for 70 years after the year of the creator's death, even if the creator does
not own copyright.
