ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC ERROR IN THE BIBLE:The Stationary Earth The idea of a stationary earth has been touched on by nearly every mythological tale. There was Atlas who held the earth on his back, and lets not forget the turtle and elephants in Terry Pratchetts Disk World series. It seems like this inaccurate belief found its way into the Bible also. Job chapter 38 has a lot of mentions of a stationary earth, and as direct quotes from God. Quotes like the following: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. - Job 38:4 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; - Job 38:6 Really, do these sound like descriptions of a world that spins on its axis, while at the same time revolves around the sun? First off, everything I have seen foundations on are stationary. Buildings, walls, towers, etc. Then God says that the foundation is fastened to something. Again, does your car have a foundation attached to something? Your house has a foundations which attaches it to the ground. Hmmmm, If you believe these verses, you must have a hard time finding your house whenever you go out, because it probably moved away while you were gone. Thats not all. 1 Samuel 2:8 states that For the pillars of the earth are the Lords, And He has set the world upon them. If you go to any seashore, you are bound to see houses built on pillars, and yet the houses dont move. How strange. Psalms 93:1 flat out says that the world doesnt move. The Lord reigns, he is clothed with majesty; The Lord is clothed, He has girded Himself with strength. Surely the world is established so that it cannot be moved. Again, earths foundations (as well as the skys windows) are mentioned in Isaiah 24:18- And it shall be That he who flees from the noise of the fear Shall fall into the pit, And he who comes up from the midst of the pit, Shall be caught in the snare; For the windows from on high are open, And the foundations of the earth are shaken. ANYWAY I PRESENTED BOTH SIDE & LEAVE TO THE READERS WHAT THEY THINK///?
