How does that make the Bible wrong? Which scriptures are you basing the claim about the sun revolving around the earth?

I think you can believe in God and science too but when they are at odds the you have to take God as the ultimate authority which he is.

Sort:  

It doesn't prove the sun revolves around the Earth.

  1. The vantage point is relative. If you were to stand outside all day then it would appear that the sun is moving. Which in those verses it describes this phenomenon. The rising of the sun, sun stood still, etc

  2. If the sun revolves around the earth then the earth's gravitational pull should be much stronger and it should have more mass than the sun in order for the sun or other planets to revolve around it.

  1. Biblical scholars who studied the bible believed that the bible said the sun revolved around the Earth.
  2. I don't think gravity was really mentioned or explained in the bible.

The concept of gravity is definetly in the bible. For example when Judas hung himself and later his body fell.

The explanation for gravity is not in the bible. Humans and most animals have almost always known even before the bible that if you jump off a cliff you will fall and possibly die.

There's tons of things that are not explained in the Bible but that doesn't make them non existent.

Correct. I think that includes the creation story.
