101 Questions on the Sanctuary and on Ellen White

69. The Astronomy Visions

Ford states that “astronomers know nothing of a great open space in Orion, and the planetary moons numbered in an early Ellen G. White vision are no longer correct by modern knowledge” (Ford, pages 620-621). How accurate are Ellen White’s statements in Early Writings, 40-41? QSEW 62.5

We ask, how complete is our knowledge of Orion? And how can anyone say that the number of moons Ellen White mentioned is not correct when there is no way of knowing what planet she saw? No one can prove that her statements are wrong. A thorough discussion of the planetary moons may be found in F. D. Nichol’s Ellen G. White and Her Critics, pages 91-101. QSEW 63.1
