1. Science is pigheaded
2. Scientists sell their souls to satan
3. Scientists work for the Devil
4. Science is fraudulent
5. Scientists lie
6. Scientists will falsify data as a matter of course to get more money (greedy)
You can add this one to the list: 245

Aristarchus, Seleucus, Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo didn't have access to the information about our solar system that is now available to us here in the 21st century, but they did have access to enough information to see that it made better sense for the Sun rather than the Earth to be at the centre of the system, with all the planets revolving around it.
What happened to the Bible in this conversation all of a sudden?

Where'd It go?

Didn't you say this a moment ago?
Why did Martin Luther, John Calvin and the Inquisition agree that the motion of the Earth around the Sun was contrary to the Bible?

You didn't mention the Bible in post 1179, and I edited post 1180 to get back to the point that I was making, about Luther, Calvin and the Inquisition agreeing that the motion of the Earth around the Sun was contrary to the Bible, and Voliva saying the same thing about the sphericity of the Earth.

And they were wrong, weren't they?

Just like those today who say the motion of the Earth around the Sun is contrary to the Bible are wrong.

Nice!

Does Jesus like it when you guys "tell it like it is" so you can slag other people? Is this another crown for you in Heaven?

If the Bible reflects the OBSERVER's Point of View with regard to the sun it reflects a HUMAN POINT OF VIEW. Not God's point of view since God is outside of all of this.

Why were they wrong? And where does the Bible say that the Earth is in motion and that it revolves around the Sun?

Like others do, when they call His chosen people "ignorant, bronze age, goat herding, desert nomads"?

How does it feel?

Ya ... imagine that?

And what is the human point of view?

The sun rises, the sun sets, the sun stands still, the sun goes dark, etc.

Why were they wrong?
If they said it was contrary to the Bible, they were wrong.

Where the Bible speaks of the sun rising, setting, and going around the earth, it is the same language as if it was in today's newspaper saying the same thing.
Astrophile said:

It doesn't.

That's [probably] an easter egg God embedded into His creation for later discovery by scientists.

You mean those modern-day witches who sold their souls to Satan and are working on behalf of the Serpent? Those folks?

As far as I know, you haven't.

You're just caught in the crossfire.

Oh, well, good. Do continue slaggin' the scientists. Tell 'em what's what! And make sure to invoke all manner of evil your faith has on offer. Don't let 'em just be people you disagree with, but make sure to characterize them as people who are actively in service to the most evil things you can conceive of!

The above verse is speaking of the end of the present 6th Day when ALL of the heavens and Earths are finished, which in Hebrew means brought to perfection.
You need a reason to claim it was not referring to the creation that was outlined in detail. Trying to make it a prophesy just to fit with a planet of the apes philosophy to fit some strange idea of what science requires is a great mistake.

Notice also that Heaven is filled with ALL of it's "host" which includes ALL Christians
Notice the sun and moon were the great lights in the heaven...not flying, non breathing people!

So why does the Statement of Faith of Answers in Genesis say
The bible is right and no evidence contradicts it on creation issues. As for the web site you cite, they seem to agree.

Why did Martin Luther, John Calvin and the Inquisition agree that the motion of the Earth around the Sun was contrary to the Bible?
Not too bright? The bible never says that the worl was created with the sun the way it is, or that the sun now revolves around earth, does it?
Why did Wilbur Glenn Voliva insist on Biblical grounds that the Earth is flat, saying,

(quoted from 'Flat Earth: The History of an Infamous Idea' by Christine Garwood (Macmillan 2007), p. 207)?
Who knows? Never heard of him.
