• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

"Over time, the Moon has stolen Earth's rotational energy to boost it into a higher orbit farther from Earth," Ross Mitchell of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Uwe Kirscher of Curtin University in Australia explain in their published paper.

As a result of the Moon's outward movement, Earth's rotation slows, and our sunlit days lengthen ever so slightly – not that we notice the itty-bitty addition to our 24-hour-long daily spins."

God created the moon 400 times smaller than the sun, and placed it 400 times closer to Earth than the sun.

This results in the diamond ring effect.

You mean the effect before and after a total eclipse of the sun, in which one of Baily's beads is much brighter than the others, resembling a diamond ring around the moon.
That diamond ring effect?

And that also addresses the OP topic how?

It is something I never did think of until I see it brought up, but it does make sense that an object with a gravitational pull of it own can be effected by another object's orbit.

Though a 19 hour day.... I honestly can't imagine that.

It shows that nothing got "boosted into a higher orbit," but came into existence there.

Except that it doesn't. All you are doing is saying that God put the moon the distance it is between the Earth and the sun at the size it is, just because He did it.

That's all you said.

You can't see that I'm saying the Chinese Academy of Science is wrong?

I know you are. But all you are is just bluster and sound, nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks for the insult.

Is that what they said to Roger Boisjoly too, after they voted against his advice?

It's not an insult at all to describe as that because that is what you are.

You're not even in the same league as him. Though your 'Let no tragedy go to waste' ideals pop up again when its convenient for you again, I see.

Stop comparing yourself to people who actually tried to do good. You're a guy from Guam with weird takes on the Bible. You're not the same.

I'm not dismissing your faith in the slightest. I'm dismissing your attempts at pretending to be scientific when you're clearly just using your faith.

Your faith, I will not dismiss or disparage. Your interpretations on the Bible on the other hand....

I say GOD DID IT, and that's me "pretending to be scientific"???

Wow.

Well, despite what you think, I'll get back on track here.

God created the moon 400 times smaller than the sun, and put it 400 times closer to Earth than the sun; and the result is the diamond ring effect.
