Answers in Genesis against September 23 Sign

Joel, I read that earlier today and burst into tears. I’ve been weary and this article didn’t help. Sorry I don’t have more to add about it. Just...I know how you feel.

It's true that there are many stars in Leo, beyond 9....however, Alexandre Ruelle in the 1700's was the first to represent constellations as "stick" figures, and in his original, he only had 9 named stars...his stick figure is the basis for all stick figures, which suggest 9 stars by a large majority.....It really doesnt matter what Ptolemy thought who didn't use stick figures, or what a 50 year old planisphere portrayed as the article explains. What matters is who was the first to use stick figures, how were they represented, and what is the overwhelming majority of depictions....as a result, I find the author of the article lacking in Bereanship.

However, that doesn't mean I am right, and he is wrong. Events on earth will tell if the signs are legitimate or not, not opinions based on 50 hear old planispheres, or what Ptolemy thought. If we see an agreement to divide the Land, then all bets are on...if not, keep looking for the covenant to divide the Land.
