If the Earth's axial tilt was doubled, then the Earth would have an axial tilt of 47 degrees. This would cause all 4 seasons to be around 2 times more extreme. All 4 seasons would still be the same length but the difference is that the temperature changes across each of the seasons would be massive, quicker, and more extreme. If the Earth had a 47-degree axial tilt, then the arctic circle would be at 43°N, the tropic of cancer would be at 47°N, the antarctic circle would be at 43°S, and the tropic of capricorn would be at 47°S. If the Earth had a 47-degree axial tilt, then the polar regions and tropical regions would overlap due to the Earth’s axial tilt being greater than 45 degrees and less than 135 degrees. The higher latitudes would then experience hotter summers and colder winters while the lower latitudes would be more temperate. The stars would be positioned differently in the sky.
Human History/Culture/Places
Bible history would still have been the same, On the other hand, human history, geography, human migration to other places, farming, the creationist facts on geography, and culture would have been different. The ice age that happened some time after the global flood around 2,400 years ago would have been more intense. Places north of around 37°N and south of around 37°S would likely experience the aurora borealis. This would mean that places like Virginia, New York, Canada, Europe, most of Asia, half of South America, and New Zealand would be able to experience the aurora borealis. Places in between 43°N and 47°N would be able to experience both the overhead sun and 24 hours of daylight at the same time due to the polar zones and tropic zones overlapping.
Latitudes
The latitude of 47°N would have the overhead sun on June 20, 21 or 22, and the latitude of 47°S would have the overhead sun on December 20, 21, 22, or 23. The latitude of 43°N would have 24 hours of daylight on June 20, 21, or 22. The latitude of 43°S would have 24 hours of daylight on December 20, 21, 22, or 23. The North Pole and South Pole would be able to experience warm temperatures as well. The day and night differences across latitudes would vastly differ, for example, on June 20th, the latitude of 25°N would have around 15 hours of daylight, the latitude of 30°N would have around 18 hours of daylight, and then the latitude of 43°N would have 24 hours of daylight.
Times of moving to places
People would not have moved to places like Alaska, Scandinavia, Russia, Greenland, and southern South America until heating was invented, which was likely around the 17th or 18th century. The northernmost town known as Utquiagvik, Alaska would be able to experience warm temperatures in the summer but also intense winters that makes Minnesota winters look warm. The first people to move to the higher latitudes would have had to be more resourceful.
Geography/Climate
The geography on an Earth with a 47-degree axial tilt would look different, which would result in the creationist facts on geography being different. The mountains on higher latitudes would be covered in snow even more in the autumn and winter due to more extreme temperatures, The deserts would be quite different since the deserts would still have hot summers but also have cooler winters too. People who lived north of 43°N or south of 43°S would have to rely on vitamin D foods like salmon, milk (including plant-based milk), Yogurt, Tuna, Ham, etc. To get vitamin D in the winter when there’s little to no sunlight, and in some places even far north, they would have to wear sunscreen in the summer due to more extreme temperatures.
The Earth is fine the way it is
The Earth is fine the way it is. The Earth has an axial tilt of 23.5 degrees. When God created the sun and all the planets of the Solar System, the Earth was created with a 23.5-degree axial tilt for a reason. Everything has order to it. An Earth with a 90-degree axial tilt would be uninhabitable and an Earth with a 23.5-degree axial tilt is just right. When the Earth was first created 6,000 years ago, The Earth was created by God in 6 literal 24-hour days and then God rested on the 7th Day, as proven by Genesis 1 & 2.
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:1 KJV
When the Earth was first created 6,000 years ago, everything was originally good at first, but then when sin entered the world, That resulted in death, pain, and suffering coming into the world as a result of sin, and because of sin, we now live in a fallen world.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 5:12 KJV
Evolution Refuted
Darwinian Evolution is not true at all, since evolution was just made up by secular scientists who were really false scientists who did a failed attempt of fighting against God. Darwinian Evolution is a worthless fairytale that can easily be refuted by the Bible, and the Bible is 100% true, and if any teaching contradicts the Bible, then the teaching is false teaching, Darwinian Evolution is a damnable heresy that is splitting hell wide open, and Darwinian Evolution is a fraud. The question of what if the Earth had a 47-degree axial tilt has nothing to do with the evolution myth, but I simply wanted to point out here that Darwinian Evolution is a worthless fairytale that is filled with nothing but worthless straw-man arguments that are instantly destroyed by the Bible, and the whole Bible is 100% true since the Bible is inerrant and is clearly the word of God.
This is an interesting topic about the Earth. Any comments that attempt to refute the Bible will be deleted, and any comments that attempt to refute Young Earth Creationism will be deleted, and any comments that attempt to force atheistic nonsense upon others will be deleted as well.
