“Easter occurs on different dates each year because, like the Jewish Passover, it is based upon the vernal equinox, that dramatic moment when the hours of the day-light and the hours of darkness at last draw parallel and then the light finally and triumphantly wins out. Thus Easter is always fixed as the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. It's a cosmic, solar, and lunar event as deeply rooted in religious traditions originating from sun-god worship as one could conceivably imagine.” YearsFirstsDifferentMomentsLightLastsWinningHoursReligiousDarknessSunImagineEventsMoonWorshipSpringDrawsTraditionFollowingFixedDramaticSundayCosmicRootedEasterParallelsFull MoonReligious TraditionsEquinoxSun God Author:Tom Harpur
“One of the things that sets the Bible apart from all other ancient religious writings is its scientific accuracy. Without exception, every other ancient religious writing contains certain scientific errors. For example, Muhammad taught in the Qur'an that the sun descends down into a muddy spring. The Hindu Vedas state that the Earth is flat and triangular, that earthquakes are caused by elephants shaking themselves under it. You'll never read absurd statements like those in the Bible.” WritingStatesEarthCertainReligiousSunExampleTaughtSpringBibleErrorsAncientStatementsAbsurdExceptionFlatsElephantsShakingMuhammadEarthquakesAccuracyMuddyVedas Author:Charlie Campbell
