So how far away is our Sun?
93,000,000 miles? 9,300,000 miles? 9,300 miles? 93 miles?
How big then is our Sun? - tennis ball size? - beach ball size? - a mile wide?
Thus Galileo amd Copernicus and all of astronomy is wrong and the whole solar system revolves around our Earth.
How come the other observable planets are not conical with dome firmaments?

The only thing I forgot to mention in my posts above is how I find it fascinating that, for some people, non-core beliefs become inextricably linked to their faith.

For example, somebody thinks they're being clever by using the Bible to calculate the age of the Earth.
The answer they get is about 6,000 years, give or take.

This is blatantly untrue, including for the reasons given in my previous posts above.

Other examples include 'calculating' that 144,000 people will be granted access to heaven, or 'calculating' when Jesus will return.

But for some people these 'little extras' become part of their faith to the point that additional stories are made to back them up...

...Satan planted fossils and other physical evidence to fool us, for example.

The Bible teaches us to, basically, keep our wits about us.
So why is it that for the most devout fundamentalists, there is no limit to what they'll accept as true?
 
The flat earth is nonsense. How do I know? Your map does not work. It really is as simple as that...

why don't the lunar and solar measures of time coincide?

Sorry....hyperboloid.

Lol. You are not going to like the sound of this.....but there is no "time". Only magnitude. "Time" is co-dependent on at least 5 factors.

But the dfference is due to electromagnetic retardation. Not "curved space-time".

yeah i enjoy pointing out there is no such thing as time too
good times
but i think you missed the question..
​
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; ​
let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years​
(Genesis 1:14) ​

two great lights, the sun and the moon.
for timekeeping.
why don't they keep the same time?

12 lunar months ≠ 1 solar year

lunar months are in fluctuation. so are solar days and years. they aren't integer. they aren't stable. their ratios aren't integer.

why?

why uncoordinated sets of time keeping systems? why imprecision, disagreement & flux in God's appointed clocks?
by the time you read a clock the time has changed.
why is solar & lunar time stochastic?

Sorry...divergence and convergence...typing on my phone lol.

Myriad and various electromagnetic retardations of the explicate field perturbations in the ether. Impossibly and vastly interconnected to the infinite limit of the boundaries of creation. Everything is bascically connected to each other via the field. BTW the nominal "speed" of counterspace is infinity.

impossibly connected? :unsure:

why doesn't the clock God put in the sky for the night match the one He put in the sky for day?

I think this might be a joke ... And I do not know the answer if it is or even if it's not... But thinking about it... Alaska basically has 6 mo light and 6mo dark... each day light increasing by so minuets…

Because G-d is light and it increases every day not darkness....

...you are just making it up as you go, huh? Putting a dash in God may make you feel pious, but it certainly does not lead you to wisdom. God is not light, God created light.

Am I better than you?... I don't' think so, but since you have a problem maybe I am....lol.... I AM NOT PETTY!!!

I grew up spelling G-d... G-d... if someone spells it God or forgets capital "G" and spells god... We are all EQUIAL... I just learnt how to spell G-d that way since I am a Jew... Are you more righteous and pious than me since you type God? Who is better before G-d/God me or you? ….

I like to think we are equal in Him since everything rises and Falls on Him...

John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not over come it...

All I am saying....

No, that is not *all* you are saying. You are falsely claiming that God is light while pretending to be pious with your dashed word. Amazing the cowardice from those who have no basis for their beliefs...you said the words, I quoted you saying them, how dare you deny that???

What? That does not make since? And you ignored my question … are you better than me or equal since you spell God instead of G-D?

I ANSWERED YOUR QUOTE... REREAD... SORRY IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT!....

I don't answer dumb questions, unless it serves a purpose.

And, what does not make 'since'[sic]? The fact that God created light or the fact that you are falsely equating the Creator with His creation?

Well the purpose would have been to defend yourself... but... OK, want to ignore the G-d/God comments/ questions.... I accept your stupidity…

1 John 1:5

This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you. God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all...

Take your argument up with G-d/God!!!!!!!

It is called a metaphor. God is not light. As I have pointed out, and you should already know, God created light.
