But physically, the earth rotates on it\'s axis. Do you know what would happen if the earth did stop rotating on it\'s axis? The mountains would collapse, the seas would probably flood (gravity ) , the sky\'s probably would fall. It\'s simple physics. Not to mention the constant sun beaming on the earth. The temperatures would rise because there is no night or darkness. Basically to put it so you would understand, we would be screwed up the bum.

The bible didnt say the sun stopped rotating,  it said the sun stood still.  If the sun stoppped in the sky today wouldnt you say the same thing?  Look, the sun is staying still!  I dont see you saying the earth stopped rotating.

You think its out of the power of God to control his planet?  Well you must not believe in the flood or parting the red sea.

If the sun stopped in the sky, doesn\'t that mean it stopped rotating? But the sun doesn\'t rotate. If the sun stopped in the sky, i\'d be scared because the earth did stop rotating on it\'s axis and physics would kick in.

It said the sun stood still  I still dont see you saying oh my, the earth stopped rotating,  rather,  the sun has stood still, or stopped moving or somthing of that order.

IF THE SUN STOOD STILL IN THE SKY, THEY EARTH HAD TO HAVE STOPPED ROTATING ON IT\'S AXIS. What you said is a synonym to what I said. The sun stopped=the earth stopped rotating. The sun doesn\'t revolve around the earth, otherwise, then it would be a different story.

Exactly.  The synonym that I said is what Joshua said.

Then why are you saying that I was saying something entirely different?

You tryed to say he said the sun stood still because he believed the sun revolved around the earth.  Im saying you cant prove that.

I think I read it that they thought it revolved around the earth because the Bible was written before it was proved that the earth revolved around the sun. Pretty much everyone thought that the sun and stars, ect. revolved around the earth because we were "special". Like I said in the post, I\'m not 100% sure that it\'s true, just what I read.

The inspired writers of the bible knew that the earth was a circle, (God is seated above the circle of the earth) and that God hangs it upon nothing which means the earth just floats in space.

They knew quite a bit more then man did of that time through God.

But the earth isn\'t a circle, it\'s a sphere.

This is from the standpoint of a human.  If you were in space looking at the earth,  you would say its the shape of a circle.  Sphere,  circle its basically the same thing.  What shape is a basketball?  I would say its a circle

Do you think Job would say the circle that is slightly flatened at the poles?

EDIT:  Job wasnt in space,  in case you took it that way

um...duders...didnt ryu just close the other thread...i think we should stop with this debating.  Just get along damnmit.....

Nice to see all your great evidence Clowd. Ehem.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

ok. This is getting outta hand.

Everyone start backing up your facts with something other then your word. Otherwise this thread will end up closed.

Give us some kinda DOC or URL...

I\'m still waiting for this to happen.  The thread has become bogged down by opinionated crap. :o
