Re: PROOF: Judeo-Christian Bible Inspired of God
Except that your contention is that God gave Moses a description of the Earth and its point in space. Since one would assume that God knows what he's talking about he would not have said that the Earth is "hanging on nothing". Unless again, your contention is that God gave a half assed description? You also seem to be ignoring that Moses and Isaiah both thought that the Earth was the Center of the Universe....do you really think that God would not have included a description of where the Earth was in relation to everything else when describeing the Earth to them? At the very least it would make sense that he would have at the very least mentioned that the Earth was moving around the sun if nothing else.

Exactly, gravity is invisible, thus the viewpoint description given by Moses that when viewed from outer space, earth appears to be "hanging upon nothing" when viewed from outer space
"He [God]is stretching out the north over the empty place, hanging the earth upon nothing;" (Job 26:7)
If an earthbound person looks upwards, they cannot possible see the earth's globe floating in space. It requires a reverse position: someone in outer space looking downwards. Interestingly, the description viewpoint given by Moses was written some 3,500 years before humans mastered space flight. Astronauts in the 20th century confirmed the viewpoint description given by Moses, namely, that earth indeed appears to be "hanging upon nothing."
