I take it you didn't watch it then :tearsofjoy:

Why should I watch a video that I know is founded on an untrue and false idea?

The earth is a globe, affected by gravity and has no firmament covering it. Such as was God made it and will keep it.

Of course he didn't mention gravity in the Bible, why would he ?
This is what we keep telling you.
Why would God tell us the shape of the earth?
Why would he explain gravity?
Why would he tell us how the leaves of the trees change colour, or teach us about comets, marine biology, astronomy or fossils?
That is not God's purpose - not his purpose in writing the Bible nor his purpose for us, salvation, our becoming his children and so on.

He has given humans the ability and the gifts to explore his world and universe - to discover his awesome creation, mighty universe and tremendous creative power. What God created in a moment, or second, takes us years to discover and understand - but he allows, and wants, us to do that. There are some people who would not be impressed by Jesus and his miracles, or the OT characters, or the truth, and beauty, of the Bible - but they do believe, or have come to faith, by what they can see through telescopes and microscopes. They are rational, scientific and logical and may come to believe in God through what they can see, measure, photograph, film and so on. And God is very happy for them to do so. The Psalmist says, "the heavens declare the glory of God", Psalm 19:1 and Paul says that God's invisible qualities can be seen in what he has created, Romans 1:20. As creation points to |God and everything we have was made through Jesus, of course God is happy for people to investigate, discover and experiment to find out more about his world.

Yet you call them liars.

I have no idea what you just said. Seems pretty random.

If the moon goes in front of the sun to darken it, this would make the sun & the moon the same size, Yes ???

No I call them fairy tale tellers now :sweatsmile:
Same difference.
They are using the gifts and abilities that God gave them to discover more about the world, and universe that he has made. Some of them may even be coming to faith as a result - think of that; scientists and astronomers becoming Christians, just as you are. And all because they have been studying, or investigating, the world that God made.

And your response is to call them liars, fairy tale tellers and deluded people and mock with laughing emojis.
You may not understand what they do or what they have discovered, but surely you can admit that Scripture says that creation points to God and declares his glory - and that some people are finding that out for themselves.
