  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

(Of course this goes against gravity)

No it doesn't.

Either that or god magically stopped everyone from flying into space.

- Ectezus
That is a common misconception and would not happen. Earth's gravity is due to its mass, not its rotation. If rotational acceleration had an effect on gravity, gravity would decrease from 9.8 m/sec at the equator to nearly 0 m/sec at the poles, which we all know doesn't happen. :)

Explain how an object moving along --- or stopped in --- its ecliptic path so violates science that a miracle-performing, omnipotent God cannot allow it to happen.

Use Joshua 10:13 as your example.

More than likely it was an extremely overcast day where the position of the sun could not be determined at all. Therefore, the sun appeared to the observer not to move. Hey! I just explained your embedded age phenomenon. Isn't that cool? :cool:
