Psalms 104:7 makes it very explicit that the earth is fixed and does not move...

It doesn't say that in my Bible, nor any other that I have ever read.

The verse is Psalms 104:5. The Hebrew word is "mowt" and means removed. So the verse says,"[Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever."

If you are going to play the" pick at a verse" game at least get it right and know what you are talking about.

What does "removed" mean, in this context, other than "moved" then?

Sorry about the incorrect verse. However, how does this make a difference. I'm sorry, but it still seems that if the earth is moving that the foundations of the earth are being removed. As far as the "pick a verse" game goes, I am only doing what I have learned from the Biblical literalists who do so all the time to argue against points that I have tried to make. Keep in mind that I only have a problem with a LITERAL interpretation of this verse. Don't give me any symbolism-type arguments here. My argument here is only with those who say that every word in the Bible must be understood literally.
