You missed the issue. The Bible indicates in hundreds of places that the earth is central to all creation.

>>You missed the issue. The Bible indicates in hundreds of places that the earth is central to all creation.<<

I recognize in the Bible the trueness of the encounters with God. But I don't see any indication that God used those encounters to impart scientific knowledge beyond that already known in that time.

For example in Chronicles 16:30
>>Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved.<<

But we know the Earth spins and we know the earth circles the Sun.

That doesn't trouble my faith at all. It doesn't mean the author, the Chronicler didn't write truly just because God did not reveal astronomical knowledge to him. I think it means we are to explore and learn of the world with the resources we have been given.
