Dear Cheryl, I am not denying that things could possibly be smashed into the Moon. I see no reason at the moment why that should be impossible, but certainly no man (or woman) could safely land upon the Moon in this scenario. In fact, I note that the Russians have claimed to have smashed things into the Moon. This is an important issue, not because I wish to score points against those who control NASA, but because we must agree on what level of reliability can be assigned to data that has directly or indirectly come from that outfit. Take the issue of geosynchronous satellites, for example. I would support the conventional science view that such things are not possible in a Biblical cosmology. In this regard, amongst others, you will find that I differ greatly from Dr. Bouw's position. Yours in Christ, Neville. "Cheryl B." <c.battles@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: 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? Respectfully yours, Cheryl --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo!
