Come on….
“Hanging… (on what?) on nothing”!
No neck, or ceiling, or rear-view mirror.
Nothing!
I think your response shows a certain blindness.
Certainly a bias.
Nothing?? The gravity of the sun holds the earth in orbit.
The extreme bias against science is your case. The description of the earth in the Biblical account also describes the earth is fixed in space, which is not compatible with simple science.
The problem with this it is not different than the ancient cosmology of the Greeks and Babylonians, Phoenicians and Sumerian and no not scientifically accurate, because this cosmology includes a geocentric cosmos earth that is fixed in the center with a flat or partially curved floating in water with all the heavenly bodies fixed in the firmament.
Even tho there’s no empirical evidence that evolutionary processes can build complex machinery in the cell, like the flagellum, yet you’re willing to accept even the weakest of philosophical arguments for such methods, over strong evidence in support of the Bible.
There is not any independent evidence for the Biblical Creation account and the Biblical Cosmos. The scientific knowledge is based on objective verifiable evidence NOT philosophical arguments.
It is acknowledged in academia that the Bible contains a large amount of poetic speech.
True, but academia also acknowledges that there is absolutely no evidence to support the Biblical Cosmos and Creation accounts inclusing mythical accounts like Noah's Flood.
Even we speak that way at times.
It doesn’t make what we say, any less true.
Lack of objective verifiable evidence and verifiable evidence to the contrary to the Biblical account determines beyond any reasonable doubt it is not true,
It’s late… “raqía” means more than just a dome. Yet the atmosphere can act as a protective shield.
More coming.
Take care.
