There is no mention of flat earth in the Bible. The concept is not Biblical.Are you claiming that philosophy predates Judaism?

Get back to me when you get the numbers. Calculate the weight of all the photons that reach the earth, then get back to me.The thing about that is that the solar wind would need to be coming to Earth and be captured by its gravitational field at a rate higher than the rate at which the Earth loses its atmosphere due to that very same solar wind. Given the extreme particle velocity in solar wind, it's probably too fast for most of it to be captured (in excess of Earth's escape velocity). One exception might be charged particles which are captured by the magnetic field and routed towards the poles as aurora. I don't have any numbers on me, so that's mostly conjecture at the moment.

Logical Fallacy
Red Herring
That does not explain why you include Philosophy with these other categories.
You can just speak up if you need praise for using new phrases and words.
Pretty sure if I speak in Sanskrit, Hindu, BengalI, Punjabi, etc... I won't be receiving the same.
That does not explain why you include Philosophy with WHICH other categories?
Religion for example.
These are not new words, these are rules of logic. If you do not understand the rules of logic how can you claim to be logical?
If you're talking about electromagnetic radiation from the Sun instead of solar wind, then you might find this website useful. However, it should be noted that the Earth not only receives energy from the Sun, it also radiates it out into space as well. Since the Earth's surface temperature is mostly constant (with the exception of seaonal variations), it must be in a state of near-equilibrium where it receives about as much heat as it gives off. If it received more than it radiated, then it's temperature would steadily increase until the amount it radiated equaled the amount it received. So I don't think that would contribute significantly to Earth's mass.Get back to me when you get the numbers. Calculate the weight of all the photons that reach the earth, then get back to me.
Well, I think you're right. I did calculate roughly, and it seems to be that the sun only contributed approximately 1/150,000,000 of earths current mass over the past 250 million years, not nearly enough.If you're talking about electromagnetic radiation from the Sun instead of solar wind, then you might find this website useful.
