Well, you are welcome to go back in time to some era that knows nothing about space, the planets, the atmosphere, etc. The diagram is overtaken by factual discovery. (By the way, we SEE that the lights in the sky move. But the reason is that the Earth rotates. Ever been on a carousel?)
You mean like the era when job (and the rest of the bible) was written?
They knew a whole lot more than we give them credit for! There is some amazing stuff hidden away in the bible - for instance did you know that they knew that mountains have roots (it is in one of the subsequent passages from the one you cited, I came across it while doing further research.)? That’s something very few people know today, and even fewer know why!
So we are taught! However, it ain't necessarily so - sportin’ life
Would you care to discuss and explore that perspective further?
I disagree! Would you care to discuss the reasons (and science) why?
I have!
Because we experience the accelerations of rotation. Because we observe it from orbit. If you knew science at all, you would know this. I'm not interested in debating with ignorance. The creation is God's Word as much as scripture, and he has given us reason with which to understand it. There is no conflict.
Yes, and we experience (measure them; they are too subtle to experience) them when we aren’t touching the (presumed rotating) ground too...
We do no such thing! And even if we did - merely looking is not how science is conducted. We require measurement in empericism!
I know a lot about and study science quite a bit, because I enjoy it! One of my favorite things is discussing and evaluating it further; perhaps you are the same way?
Me neither! Though we can’t completely avoid ignorance (it is our lot), we can certainly avoid the mindless base pageantry of debate - and we should! I prefer rational discourse instead.
Ah, a fellow heretic! I might even go so far as to say that reality (the creation, of which we are a small part) is VASTLY more important, and that what is found in the bible is to be tried as a blacksmith tries gold - by fire! However, this is a radically heretical view. I am a heretic to all religions, most especially scientism.
I have not found that to be the case, however I agree with the spirit of your statement. Truth does not contradict truth! If the bible is always true, then the world is fixed and immovable. So says the good book!
Sorry, but your delusions of science are not working well. We (the world) experiences the equatorial bulge due to centripetal acceleration. We also "experience" the Coriolis acceleration that results in cyclones and gives us hurricanes and tornadoes (and even the swirl of water as it goes down the drain).
Yes, we observe it from orbit. We depend on it for our photo-reconnaissance satellites to repeatedly pass over targets of interest when in polar orbits. The Earth rotates beneath the orbit (which is inertially fixed in space). If you want to deny this fact, you end up throwing your "science" credentials in the trash.
And we certainly see it in other heavenly bodies, of which we are one.
You seem impervious to facts, so I don't know what there would be to talk about. I think it is a matter of great interest that the primary discoveries in astronomy were made by devout Christians.
