The Fourth Day - Let there be luminaries in the heaven

Regarding Augustine and astronomers who assert various theories of how the sun, moon and stars are lighted.

AELW1:41
"For me it is enough that in those bodies, which are so eloquent and necessary for our life, we recognize both the goodness of God and His power, that He created such important objects and preserves them to the present day for our use. These are the views which are proper to our profession; that is, they are theological, and they have the power to instill confidence in our hearts."
