Dr. Jones. I wonder about something. I think we all agree that the Scripture in Joshua indicates a static earth. What I'm wondering is if, assuming the earth is not turning, that it is impossible that we can land anything on the moon, let alone men who walk around the moon for three days in spacesuits, drive around in moon buggies, etcetera. I have to admit I don't have the candlepower to figure that out from your calculations and laws of physics, but I think some of the people you're posting to here can. I know you're not allowing the atheists to post here, but I'd be curious to know if they would agree that, assuming hypothetically the earth is not turning on an axis, is it in fact possible to launch anyhting from earth and have it land on the moon. Would the moon be going too fast as you say -- 67,000-plus mph -- to chase it down and land on it?

I have read your new posted article. I must admit that I had the wrong idea of your assumptions. I thought you meant that the Bible spoke specifically against space travel. Now I see it only as a problem of mechanics in a geocentric setting. Thus our difference of opinion, is not Biblical, but mechanical. Whilst we cannot manipulate the Bible, we can manipulate mechanics. I'm glad you got the matter of relativity cleared up. I always mean relative motions. ....

Well, we reasoned above that at least one of the Sun or Moon is orbiting the World. Take either one.

Can I have some input from the rest of you on this, before we move to the next knot? Robert, Jack, Nicholas and Gary, in particular. What do you now think, after the reasoning presented in "Do the alleged Apollo ..."? Do you agree with Steven, Philip, Dan(?) and myself, that the Bible teaches not only a stationary World, but a NON-ROTATING one? > > Please address this issue again (my apologies if I missed one of your earlier responses). > > Neville. > > > > --------------------------------- > ALL-NEW Yahoo!
