I agree. If he studied the Bible thoroughly, he would also believe that the Sun orbits a flat Earth (yes, it is a little difficult to conceptualize).
And you, obviously, have never studied the Bible thoroughly. The concept of the Sun orbiting a flat earth was a total misinterpretation of Scripture, not an accurate understanding of it.
There is nothing in Scripture that disagrees with any scientific fact.......in fact, many scientific discoveries might have been made sooner had the Bible been correctly understood. The problem is that scientific theory is passed off as fact, because of the anti-religious bias of the 'scientists.'
Where does the bible say that the earth is flat and the sun orbits the earth?
