If that's what you got out of it, you're certainly free to retain your reliance on the propaganda.

Eric Dubay's "200 Reasons the Earth is Not a Spinning Ball" (and most FE's unthinking reliance upon it) is the purest load of single-sourced propaganda existing today.

When you can show that the Bible describes the same creations that science states in their theories, then you may have something to crow about.

Other wise it is just a matter of time till this issue will be put to rest. The closer the clocks ticks to the return of The Messiah and the setting up of the Messianic age.

Then the lie will be exposed, until then christians (the majority) will continue to place science above the truth of The Bible.

The Bible, never has to agree with science, to be true.

Science must always agree with the Bible, in areas of creation, that the Bible speaks on.
For the science to be true.

What you mean is...

Science must agree with your limited and flawed understanding of the Bible...

however the problem is you are 100% convinced that you understand the Bible to a high enough degree to hold science in contempt for not agreeing with what you think the bible says...

There is no conflict between the bible and science because God did NOT write the Bible to be a scientific journal and dictionary detailing all the physical processes of the universe.

For some reason, there is a breed of Christian that simply must pit Science against their flawed and limited understanding of the Bible and I for one get so tired of it.

One of my favorite quotes from Bart Simpson is "What you don't know could fill a wharehouse"

Well, in terms of matters of the Bible, science, and the physical processes of the universe, what you don't know could literally fill the universe...

ANd I'm not just speaking about you, but myself as well. Our perception and understanding of God and the universe is so small and pathetic we might as well be two fleas on the head of an elephant arguing who gets to carry the elephant home for dinner...

The purpose of the Bible is to facilitate our relationship with God
The purpose of Science is to explain observations made of the universe

The two are Not in conflict

What is to understand about Joshua 10:12-15 the verses are straight forward.

No where in the Bible does, the Bible state God created a universe. Heaven and earth is stated as God's creation.

So you accept evolution, globe earth and any other idea science creates

Science doesn't create these ideas, it discovers them by examining God's creation. The act in Joshua was a miracle- miracles, by definition, involve the suspension of the ordinary laws of physics. And nothing in those passages indicates the earth is flat anyway.

No, they are not. Not in the context of understanding the intricacies of the universe.

For instance, in your limited understanding of the universe, you think time is linear when the reality is time is NOT linear.

In your limited understanding of the universe you think "to stand still" or "stood" involves standing in place but the reality is that every object in the universe can be described by the wave equation in which we are part particle and part wave and that our positions and velocities are only known to a certain degree with real world consequences to the degree in which our positions and velocities are known...

See? See how flawed and limited your understanding is? Things you think are "simple" are so complex that you can't even fathom the amount you don't know...

So then, when you try to argue the bible and the universe you are doing so from a position of profound ignorance which is only compounded by your confidence.

And again, not just you, myself as well. If I had to hazard a guess as to my level of understanding of the actual universe, I'd guess I understand less than 5% and that is being generous by probably a factor of 5 :p.
