Ok, that story of Job you've been rattling on about? It is a story showing the importance of perseverance and commitment to faith, even under the most trying of circumstances. Why lose sight of this in favor of trying to prove that he might a statement that may or may not be scientific discovery?

Oh so the fact that Job offered this tidbit is trivial because ...... his real message was about some other bigger picture theme that had nothing to do with time, space, gravity and so on? Are you suggesting this as a general criteria for selectively discarding portions of the Bible? What if Job's passage had of said 'He hangeth the earth on the back of a tortoise'? Would you still hold that same view? On the other hand, if you are suggesting that Job just 'lucky' on this one by getting it right, point all the passages where Job was unlucky if you will.
