Yes like the Morley experiment which they aggressively refute, by saying the aether does not exists when in fact it certainly does.
Michelson–Morley type experiments have been repeated many times with steadily increasing sensitivity. These include experiments from 1902 to 1905, and a series of experiments in the 1920s. More recently, in 2009, optical resonator experiments confirmed the absence of any aether wind at the 10−17 level. Together with the Ives–Stilwell and Kennedy–Thorndike experiments, Michelson–Morley type experiments form one of the fundamental tests of special relativity.
They say that 'ignorance is bliss' which is true in this case, most people can't except the truth as it's what they have been indoctrinated into all of their lives.
Projecting again :oldthumbsup:

Well, they shook him (and me and others) a little here and there..... but that has nothing to do with the subject.
So the earth is not immovable then, right?

Tesla ( the genius ) didn't think the aether was absent.

Yep since He created the earth including seismic activity and earth rotation to define a day.
btw, in the past days, years, decades, I had not considered rotation of the earth while realizing the earth is set in place by the Creator and is the center of His Plan. The view points, perspective, of earth (a round earth yes) not orbiting the sun was once known/ believed and afaik , the truth, first before science or man's fairy tales and imaginations. It is not popular, to believe truth, nor to seek truth, let alone to give up one's life for Yahshua as He Gave His Life for His children.

From the world's/scientific/mathematical view , it is similar to someone standing at the train station watching a train go by. Someone in a train car passing by the station, watching the station go by, can/could be thought of as seeing the station move by, and the train , as it were, stationary, for purposes of seeing how everything thus seen is relative. No sense, no point, in any arguments one way or another , btw, as only God is able to grant anyone truth, and it is in seeking God, not in applying math or science or human/fleshly /carnal constructs to figure something out. It is beyong the fleashly world, and not even possible for the unredeemed to understand.

I absolutely agree with this, do you agree there is a firmament or better known as the raqia above the earth ?

The term "raqia" (or "raqiya") is the original Hebrew word for "firmament," which refers to the "expanse" or "solid surface" of the sky in biblical cosmology, as described in Genesis. This concept represented a solid dome separating the waters above and below, but it is now seen as a metaphor by many theologians, as modern science views the sky as open space rather than a solid structure


KJV
And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. Ezekiel 1:22

Good News Translation
Above the heads of the creatures there was something that looked like a dome made of dazzling crystal. Ezekiel 1:22

The verse you quoted says nothing about the solidity or otherwise of the firmament. The KJV says that the firmament was "as the colour of the terrible crystal," not that it was as solid as crystal. The Good News Translation for some reason chooses to mistranslate the word meaning "colour" or "eye" as "dome," but even that version says that the firmament looked like a dome, not that it was a dome.

But the word 'Raqia' which is another word for firmament does.

You keep saying that, but the Hebrew word has two meaning, "expanse" and "solid surface."

Yes I know but I'll go with the latter as it states in the Bible.

can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze?

he makes the skies reflect the heat like a bronze mirror. Can you do that?

Your post shows the vital importance of looking at the context. The verse you quote is part of the speech of Elihu, one of Job's false friends. It is not God telling Job that the skies are solid.
