Galileo, the Church and the Scriptures
Psalm 931,2 The LORD reigns, he is robed in
majesty the LORD is robed in majesty and is
armed with strength. The world is firmly
establishedit cannot be moved. Your throne was
established long ago you are from all

Galileo, the Church and the Scriptures
Psalm 971-4 The LORD reigns, let the earth be
gladlet the distant shores rejoice.Clouds and
thick darkness surround him righteousness
and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on
every side. His lightning lights up the world
the earth sees and trembles.

The Expanding Universe
The velocity of expansion is expressed in the
equation v Hr  in which v is velocity, r is
distance between two points, and H, called
Hubble's constant, is a proportionality value
that relates velocity and distance.
