Genesis 1:6
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Psalm 8:3
When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place--
Yes, and? I read those same verses and they do not lead me to reject what God gave me eyes to see.

That's good, then you too will see the sun., moon & the stars moving in the sky every twenty four hours.
The earth does not Orbit the sun - Sorry.

Because the earth rotates once every 24hrs

It totally does.

You should be.

I'll say it again. the earth does not orbit the sun, how on earth could Joshua have stopped the sun if the earth was orbiting the the sun ?
He would have had to stop the earth. :eek:

You don't have a problem with God stopping the sun from moving, but God stopping the earth from rotating without any loss of momentum is an impossibility? So you do believe in an limited God afterall.

The God I believe in has no trouble suspending the very laws he put in place.

No I don't, I believe in God Almighty who is wonderful & who is limitless in all of his creation of the heavens & the earth.
What I will never believe is that the earth is a ball spinning at a ridiculous speed & hurtling through space.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune which are all named after different god's are really just stars & not plane t's.

Yet you put limits on what He is able to do in His creation. What you say does not match up with what you claim to believe.
What I will never believe is that the earth is a ball spinning at a ridiculous speed & hurtling through space.
One revolution per day is not a ridiculous speed, and the rotational velocity of our sun around the centre of the milky way galaxy is several orders of magnitude slower than that.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune which are all named after different god's are really just stars & not plane t's.
and I am the rightful King of Spain.

Have you ever read Exodus ?
Of course. He parted the Red Sea and when the Hebrew slaves had all crossed over, the waters flowed back.
That doesn't explain how he divided the water and firmed some of it up so that it became solid ground.

And what about my other questions?
There is no Biblical instruction/detail on how God created - that is not the purpose of the Bible.

Neither will anyone else.
Rotating on its own axis and rotating around the sun - which takes a year, is nothing like "spinning at a ridiculous speed and hurtling through space".
I failed all my science exams 45 years ago, and even I know that. Either you are deliberately over exaggerating, or you know even less than I do.

They say that the earth is spinning at a 1000 miles an hour and is hurtling through space at 66,627 mph, absolutely bonkers :tearsofjoy:

The circumference of the Earth at the equator is approximately 40,075 kilometers. Rotation of about 1674 kilometers per hour is not unbelievable.

The rotation of other planets:
  • Mercury: 10.8 km/h, 58.6 Earth days
  • Venus: 6.5 km/h, 243 Earth days
  • Earth: 1674 km/h, 1 Earth day
  • Mars: 866 km/h, 1.03 Earth days
  • Jupiter: 45,583 km/h, 0.41 Earth days
  • Saturn: 36,840 km/h, 0.45 Earth days
  • Uranus: 14,794 km/h, 0.72 Earth days
  • Neptune: 9,719 km/h, 0.67 Earth days

They say that Japan's bullet trains run at 200mph, but I've seen people walking along the carriage with a glass of water and not spilling anything, so that can't be true.

That's nothing! It is alleged that people can eat and drink while on an airplane hurtling through space at 500mph. What's more, these planes can remain suspended in midair 1000's of feet above the ground for hours on end, with nothing holding it up.

There's a reason "Flat Earth" is in the conspiracy theory section of a Christian forum.
And it's not because the Christians are trying to hide some false "truth"
.
Simply put Satan is pushing Flat Earth to discredit Christianity.
And it's working.

If the earth is a spinning globe , answer me these questions.

1. How does water stick to a spinning ball ? Water always finds it own level.
2. How do Rockets get through the firmament ?
3 How come Joshua stopped the sun & the moon ?
4. why don't we feel the spin of the earth ?
