To observers on the earth, if the earth turns, then the sun or the moon and stars, appear to move across the sky.
But the earth doesn't move.

@prodromos said:
The earth rotates once every 24 hours and orbits the sun once every 365 days, while the moon orbits the earth approximately every 28 days..

This is a belief which is not inconsistent with the scriptures.

If the the earth moves then there is no way we would see the the same consultations night after night

all of them.

Why? Because we're not stuck being beholden to mere, kindergarten level observation, and to say things that misconstrue the epistemic limits we have to mean instead that we have no real knowledge of the physical universe around us is the height of solipsistic reductionism and irrationality.

We're also not stuck to being beholden to the casual ruminations of any one single Cosmologist; no, Science requires the ongoing interactive and critical analysis by the world community of scientists, not some one individual who tells us a semantic statement that we happen to like most.

If we want to assert as Christians that God placed us here and that we also find it doubtful as to whether there is any other life in the universe, then fine. We can say this in a theological vain, but to say that this spiritual, anthropocentric intuition we have therefore translates directly into physical science and means that the earth IS literally at the physical "center" of the universe is a conceptual conflation and fallacy of the first order.

At a flat level, these just comes down to a 3D monitored contingency, we need a better way to ambient transitional mobility of the celestial & a better upgraded model which offers a digital approach & maybe more of an explanation.

And which books or sources did you use to arrive at this insight?

what part of the fallacy of quote mining don't you understand?

you said earlier: "PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you not take singular quotes out of context?" and I wanted to try give you the context in which the quote was made. My error for even trying. Bye.

And you see what ? Exactly what we all see, the moving sun ,the moon & the the stars rotating around us on daily basis.
I see constellations that you can't see and you see constellations that I can't see. The constellations I see at night rotate clockwise around a South Celestial Pole while the constellations you see at night rotate anticlockwise around a North Celestial Pole. When I lived in Greece, the moon appeared to be upside down compared to how it appears in Australia. The horizon drops more and more below eye level the higher up I'm viewing from. I've watched huge ships disappear bottom first as they pass beyond the horizon. I've watched the tide go in and out. I've seen clouds lit underneath by sunlight at dawn and dusk.
All the things I've personally witnessed only make sense on a globe. Many are impossible on a flat earth. I don't need a scientist to tell me anything.

It isn't consistent with your interpretation of the Scriptures
If the the earth moves then there is no way we would see the the same consultations night after night
That does not follow.

Heliocentrism holds no truth to it, not in the Bible.

Who you gonna believe some scientist or God ?
That's a rather false choice built on a faulty understanding of Scripture that would be a better fit within Islam than historic Christianity. We need not consider the worldviews that are present within the Bible as absolutely true simply because the texts themselves are inspired, and we need not give the qualities that belong to God alone to a book.

If it's not inconsistent with the Scriptures, it's consistent with them.
Two negatives make a positive.

The coriolis effect, all been explained

The horizon drops more and more below eye level the higher up I'm viewing from

How ever high you go the horizon is always at eye level.

I've watched huge ships disappear bottom first as they pass beyond the horizon. I've watched the tide go in and out. I've seen clouds lit underneath by sunlight at dawn and dusk.

Are you sure all these aren't mirages.

Only in your febrile imagination. You don't even know what the Coriolis effect is, but it has to do with the direction air currents move in the Northern and Southern hemispheres respectively.
How ever high you go the horizon is always at eye level.
Trivially false. It sounds like you define eye level as anything you want it to be.
Are you sure all these aren't mirages
Are you sure you aren't the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz?

Revelation 20:8 : And will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.


Revelation 7:1 : "And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth".


Isaiah 11:12 : "And gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth".


Deuteronomy 28:64 : "He'll scatter you to the four winds, from one end of the Earth to the other"
So that's where that joke came from about finding the corner in a round room. . .
