ADVERTISEMENTS

Tina Brown

... is a Christian who is married to a pastor. Together, they have 7 children and homeschool 6 of them. They reside in Richardson, TX.

She also has "reviewed" The Astronomy Book by Dr. Jonathan Henry which is "written from a God created viewpoint ... and not an evolutionary one." Some of Ms. Brown's wisdom that she, no doubt, passed on to her children as she homeschooled them:

We learn about the moon's phases and how to identify the features on the moon's surface. I didn't realize there were four phases or that the moon's features had names. I may have learned it in grade school but that was a long time ago. ...

I learned that some people use the lunar calendar while others use the solar calendar and that all clocks are set by GMT which stands for "Greenwich Mean Time."

Of interest was the topic of constellations and how that most cultures recognize the same constellations as we do and that maybe it all started at the tower of Babel when all the people of the earth were in the same place. That makes a lot of sense, otherwise, why would so many people refer to the same stars as the same name that we do?

It's quite bad enough that she is presumably taught her children grade school topics when she has forgotten most of her own and obviously not bothered to systematically learn what should be taught to them. But she also cannot seem to understand her own Bible. If people had common names for the constellations and stars at the time of the tower of Babel, wouldn't they have lost them when God confounded their languages?

But the kicker is this:

I also do not agree that the sun is a star, which the author seems to believe. Genesis 1:16 says: "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." If the sun were a star, wouldn't God have said something different? I guess we'll find out one of these days.

Unfortunately, if she has her way, her children probably won't learn much either before they die.
