If the Sun were the center of the universe, then we would expect to see a difference in the speed of light through the ether depending on which side of the Sun the Earth was on. Since we see no difference in the speed of light at any time of year, we have to conclude that the Earth is at the center, not the Sun.

This puzzling fact was used by Einstein in his development of special relativity. SR is complex though, so Occam's Razor suggests that the better interpretation is that we are at the center. This does away with the need for SR.

Meanwhile, what I meant by B.C.E. was: before the common error. That error being in the worldly calendar we use which carries the mathematical absurdity that Jesus was born B.C. If our calendar was correct, Jesus would be born 1 A.D. But our calendar is in error - hence B.C.E. = before the common error ( i.e. error in this calendar).

[On alleged satellite photos of Noah's ark]

I've learned never to ask a liberal to ask what repercussions there might be if part of the Bible end up being proven true. They simply plug their ears, stomp their feat and scream, "lalalalalalala I can't hear you." Then giggle to themselves at how proud they are of being closed minded.

Let us make man in ( Our image ). Before man was made from the dust, where did the man image quote come from?. Only the quote was said after eyons of time for man to invent a language did that became existant.

Did the apes and the chimps overheard the talk between the gods of their big plan?.

If one accepts that there is a God, then one is already moving away from what is scientific. In that case, is contradiction really that much of a problem? One must use a critical mind when looking through the Bible, even if one is a believer, but if one has already decided that there is a God, then aren't the contradictions relatively trivial? Are the details *that* important?

[Arguing for Noah's ark]

For those who don't believe consider this quote from the site:

'There comes a time when people have to learn to think for themselves. We've become lazy- we want to be told what to think; we want someone to lay it all out for us. Life gets comfortable- if we learn that Noah's Ark really existed, we may have to adjust some of our other thinking and that may not be a real pleasant prospect.'

[On why the dinosaurs went extinct]

In noahs time two of every Dinosaurus specie would be a buge problem. Thier fodder woulf fill the ark and cause a big stink.

So the gathering of dinos was put on hold and they drowned.

What mythical embellishments do you see in the Bible account? There are no rocks thrown turning into men, etc. I have found the Biblical account totally accurate and fits the evidence well. The embellishments of many legends are scientifically laughable.

You are demonstrating the very point I was going to move to on that subject: the superiority of the Bible account. It lacks the mythical embellishments of many other flood legends.

I'm sure you realize many of these flood legends add embellishments which are totally unscientific. This is one of the ways the Bible account is unique.
