Or they just the first line that reads: "Both the Sun and Moon are guided by angels on the wings of the winds." And then they realized he was talking straight out of his ass... or better yet, a bull's ass.

No wounder you couldn't disprove Einstein, you were to busy writing more BS.

Even the religious among us would hardly count that as cannonical.

Are you saying that the works of Enoch as well as Dionysios the Areopagite are merely not parts of the Canon of Scripture (i.e. the Bible)? 

If that is the case then I would concur, but so what?  They never pretended to be part of the Bible, but they are part of sacred tradition.  They are legitimate books authored by saints, and their content is true.  If you restrict yourself exclusively to the Bible then you shut out tradition, and by the same logic you would be restricting yourself from such things as this website as well.

Or are you close enough to the unbelievers to disbelieve that these reknown men are the actual authors of these books?

 Be aware that the very same Book of Enoch which I quoted concerning the details of the twelve storehouses of the winds is also quoted in the New Testament by Jude in his Epistle.

As to Dionysios the Areopagite, he is mentioned by name by Saint Luke in the Book of Acts 17 when Paul is preaching to the Greeks in Athens on Mars Hill next to the Acropolis:

"So Paul departed from among them.  Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them."

John Parker wrote an irrefutable historical essay confirming that the biblical Dionysios of the Book of Acts is indeed the actual author of the famous and important cosmological and spiritual books known under his name.  http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/areopagite_11_objections.htm

He is the greatest non-Apostolic theologian in the history of the Church.  Even Lorenzo Valla whom Erasmus, Luther and all the reformers learned from called Dionysios the greatest and Prince of the Theologians.

In reference to cosmology you might also check out his 'Celestial Hierarchy' from which book we have the greatest knowledge of angels and their nine orders.

For many, if not most Christians.

Science > religion.  Keep religious threads to the proper sub forum.

The Bible is as much corrupted as this FE organization.
