I'm not clear on that.....

Why? Just read it. Literally. The sun (subject of the sentence) ariseth. The sun (again the subject) goeth down. The sun (once more the subject) hasteth to his place where he arose. What could be more clear? You're not one of those Satanic followers of the heretical solar system theory, are you?

You forgot to explain the part about [Clear, unambiguous description of the sun's orbit around the earth.]

I figured that I gave you enough hints for you to figure it out, but I guess I'll have to explain it.

The Sun does not orbit around the Earth, the Earth orbits around the Sun. And it doesn't take 24 hours, it takes 365 and one quarter days.

The verse you gave actually describes a fixed Earth that is center of the universe, and everything else revolves around it. The same argument, I believe, used by the Catholic church to attack Galileo. They were just as wrong about celestial mechanics as you are about evolution.

Dear PH; Did I mis-interpret your ideas about Crevo??

If so, I apologize. These threads get so complicated, I can't tell the players without my scorecard.

Note that the Keplerian system fails in a geocentric system.
