    So you claimed to be intellectual but clearly are not. Ok, I'll be more specific since you want to wordsmith me. Do not use science as proof when science cannot prove something 400,000 years old.

    Prove what is 400,000 years old, exactly? Horses for courses, you know.

        Provide some references from the Bible to back up what you are saying about the earth and sun.

        The Genesis creation story says the earth is covered by a vault (firmament) and that the celestial bodies move inside the vault. (See Genesis 1:6-8) This makes no sense unless one assumes that the earth is essentially flat. Joshua 10:12 puts the Sun and Moon over the earth. Isaiah 40:22 - the heavens are a curtain spread like a tent over the earth. Now I know you're going to say it's OT so it doesn't count, so herre's some NT for you. Revelations 1:7, they'll only see Him from everywhere if the earth is flat. Revelations 7:1 talks of the four corners of the earth, that sounds like a flat finite area to me. There you go, five references.

          Extra points: Genesis 1:6-8, Joshua 10:12, Isaiah 40:22, Revelations 1:7, and Revelations 7:1.

            I don't believe I would get lost. I know the bible as well as you do, trust me. You won't get into that argument because you have realized that you have talked yourself into a corner.

            I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

            Unfortunately, you have proven that you do not know the first thing about the Bible. If you did, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

              Well, not each plague, only a selection. Pharoah's heart hardens of its own accord sometimes. Can you tell me what a translation of the Hebrew version of Exodus actually says, and how it was mistranslated.

                Good effort but way off. I do not know what version of the Bible you are reading but some of those are VERY different than the King James version. 1. Genesis: Wow, what an assumption by you. 2. Joshua: "puts the Sun and Moon over the earth" These are YOUR words. That means the earth is flat? Are you insane? Please go look outside and tell me where yo see the sun and then tonight the moon. Seriously? You can't possibly have meant this but for the life of me I can't follow you on this one. 3. Again, what in the world version of the Bible are you reading? 4. OT does count. Don't twist my words. If what you say is true then Christ did not walk on water either. I don't know how it will be but yes I do know that everyone will see Christ when he comes again. Everyone, even on a round world. There is a law of physics you 1137s don't even know about. 5. Even modern language uses this term. That's because of maps being flat. Really? You don't even seem like you are trying.

                  "I will not believe anything on faith alone." You contradict yourself. Faith is believing in something you cannot see. You believe some guy in a white coat who told you that something happened 400,000 years ago. That is much more far stretched than believing in the Bible.

                  I can see the guy in the white coat because I can visit him if I so choose and I can prove they existed from multiple reliable sources. Can you say the same for your toga wearing hippie pixie?(No offense to hippies, or pixies)

                          12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. Again, read the text. It specifically puts the sun and moon over a specific places on the earth. The ONLY way to interpret that is to assume that the earth is (at minimum) at the center with the sun and moon above the flat earthly disc. There is certainly no way you can twist these words into being a sun centered solar system.

                                Thanks. I didn't notice the copy-paste issue with my tags until after I submitted.

                                I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                                  Then why does the bible say that god did it? Read the stories carefully before responding.

                                  I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                                    Unfortunately, you have proven that you do not know the first thing about the Bible. If you did, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

                                    Ah yes. The old "You can't understand the bible because you're not a believer and the spirit hasn't revealed it to you" argument. :sigh:

                                      I can see the guy in the white coat because I can visit him if I so choose and I can prove they existed from multiple reliable sources. Can you say the same for your toga wearing hippie pixie?(No offense to hippies, or pixies)

                                        Everything you have said proves you don't know what you are talking about.

                                        Cyclical reasoning. You're wrong because I'm right doesn't wash in this man army. Neither do a lot of the troops, but that's another story.
