Could you please tell me what verse you are getting that from. Perhaps I would be able to explain it.
1 Chronicles 16:30: " Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Psalm 93:1 "The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.
Psalm 96:10: Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously...."
Psalm 104:5: " Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever."
The sun goes around the earth in a circuit and heats the entire universe:
Ecclesiastes 1, 5:"The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose."
Psalm 19:4-6 Their line [the heavens] is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."
And of course Joshua stopped the sun, not the rotation of the earth.
Joshua 10:12-13: "Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
Then there is Isaiah 38:8
"Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees...ten degrees backward. So THE SUN RETURNED ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down...." (Isaiah 38:8)
What about Job 26:7?
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
He hangeth it fixed and immobile as well.
Ecclesiastes 1:6
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to its circuits.
Circulation of the atmosphere?
Or just the fact that the wind changes directions from time to time. This seems more like a personification of the wind to me.
Job 28:25
to make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
The fact that the air has weight was not proven until about 300 years ago.
So you never walked against the wind and felt the "weight" of the wind pressing against you?
Genesis 2:7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 3:19
...till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Was that a lucky guess that everything in our body is from the earth?
Well a lot of our body comes from eating plants and plants use carbon dioxide from the air as a carbon source.
Psalm 135:7
He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
I thought we gave up the idea Gods throwing lightening bolts some time ago.
Job 36:27-28
For he maketh small the drops of water: the pour down rain according to the vapor thereof; which the clouds do drop and distill upon man abundantly.
Wow they figured out that rain came from clouds! There's a great scientific relevation.
Ecclesiastes 1:7
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
So they observed that rivers flow in to the sea and the seas are not overflowing the land. What's so special about that?
Job 38:16
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
Springs in the ocean? Job was written most likely around 2000-1800 B.C.
What incredible insight they had. I do not think, IMHO, that this would have been written without divine inspiration.
Or they observed springs in lakes, streams and rivers and extrapolated that such thing existed in the ocean.
If the Bible said that Joshua said, "Earth stop thou rotating so that the day continues" I would be a lot more impressed.
