WHY NOT? WHY NOT LEARN SOME GEOGRAPHY? - David Jon Hill - September 1978

When our astronauts went to the moon they returned with striking pictures of the planet on which we live. For the first time in history we could view our entire beautiful blue orb-a virtual God's - eye view. Seen from halfway to the moon, our good Earth is a sparkling jewel of life etched on the black background of lifeless space. It truly "hangs on nothing," as cited in the Bible record thousands of years old. It is desirable, cherished, regarded as "home" to those who have sailed the void of space. Political borders are not visible. Only continental outlines surrounded by the blue waters of life show any apparent "division." Unlike the globe map in the schoolroom or study, specific countries are not clearly identified in tones of pink, red, green, blue, orange or yellow. All those tones are there, but they softly blend into one another on closer view. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
