Then that's on you.

I take the comment:

To be a pretty explicit that he cares more for what the Bible says than what God's creation shows.
Well, I don't agree with him that because the bible doesn't specifically mention planets that God didn't create them, but that doesn't mean he cares more for what God says in His word than what He shows through His Creation.

Again; then that's on you. I read his comments how I read it, and since he's not alone in the whole "The Bible doesn't say this, therefore it's not part of the world!", I'm putting him in that same boat.

God is a perfect communicator, so just like The Gospel of John. Which is the only book of The Bible written specifically to tell people how to have life (eternal life) John 20:31.
God did not include the act of repentance in The Gospel of John when stating what a person must do to receive God's free gift of Eternal Life salvation. Just belief in Jesus

Why because repentance is not a condition, just belief in Jesus. So just like the example found in John about repentance. God is perfectly capable of having communicated that in Genesis 1, if He had created planets to include them in Genesis 1

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,

or in Psalms

To Him who made great lights,
For His mercy endures forever—
The sun to rule by day,
For His mercy endures forever;
The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His mercy endures forever.
------------------------
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!
Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!
Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,
And you waters above the heavens!


Praise Him all His Host - sun, moon and stars

And yet that doesn't change the fact that the Earth is round, as God created it and all the countless multitudes can see for themselves.

Also in The Bible the sun is never called a star and stars are never called suns.

The Bible also doesn't talk about the internet, cars, the Americas, Japan, Russia, Coca-Cola, plastic, rubber, deep sea animals, dinosaurs, pandas, penguins, statuary defence, football, rugby.

I never said The Bible addresses everything in existence and because of this this. If it is not in The Bible then it does not exist.

But The Bible does address God creation and what was created up in the sky/heaven. Why because this area as stated in Psalms.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.

And yet the sun is a star. That's a fact. Just because the Bible doesn't say something about it doesn't make it false.

This is why I say that you're worshiping the Bible.

I believe The Bible, if you want to label that worship that is your prerogative.

It decidedly comes across more as worship that believing in it when you say stuff like this:

And act like you have some serious point to make.

Just pointing out observations from The Bible, that a casual reader of The Bible may not know.

And that means nothing, since just because the writers of the Bible didn't know what the sun were stars and stars are suns does not mean that they aren't. Human knowledge has progressed MASSIVELY in the last few thousand years.

And in the end, the Earth is still round. As God created it.

I notice when googled "round" no images of a sphere show.

That is something that person who is from dude perfect stated after his trip up and back down. He said the earth is round, a perfect circle. Nothing about the earth being a sphere.

You must have a special Google that doesn't work.

cuemath.com - Sphere - A sphere is a three-dimensional round-shaped object.
- In geometry, a sphere is a three-dimensional solid figure, which is round in shape.

As God created it.

And I'd call you guilty of intentionally not looking correctly.
Good thing that I can pull screenshots as well:

Note the second definition of round, but hey. It's not like round is synonymous with sphere or nothing.

Do you think that means the Sun is not a star? That it is not like the other stars such as Sirius or Alpha Centauri or Mintaka?

Does it impede your daily life to be that wrong that often?

The Sun is made of the same stuff as other stars.

I also believe the stars are going to fall to earth, so they are not very big or far away.
