[P-Marlowe]

If God said the foundations of the Earth are solid and cannot be moved forever, would you conclude that the Earth does not move?

No. I would have to conclude that the "foundations of the Earth" do not move.

The Bible says that the earth hangs upon nothing, which would appear to be true. The foundation of the earth appears to be ethereal space, and it is held together by the power of God's word. In that sense the foundations of the Earth are both solid, unmoveable and in good hands.

Now can you answer my question?

If anywhere in the Bible it clarified that the entire universe is only a few thousand years old, and that all types of animals were created within an exact six day span; I would NOT believe it. Luckily for those of us Christians who use reason, the Bible demands no such adherence to such an idiotic cosmological model.

God says HE teaches using parable. The Bible says that a day to the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years a day. The parable of creation is that God didn't just snap fingers and “zot” the world into creation; neither was it the work of a lifetime. God rolled up sleeves, worked the equivalent of a man working six days, then rested for a “yom”.

What does “morning” and “evening” mean on a day without a Sun anyway? Why would a “yom” without a Sun be 24 hours? What is a “day” when there is no Sun?
