"the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved."~ This echoes in Psalm 93:1, Psalm 96:10, and Chronicles 16:30.
Now, in todays world very few people will argue that the earth orbits the sun. However it's clearly stated in Psalm 104:5, "[the LORD] set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved." Ecclesiastes 1:5 states that "the sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises."
When Galileo Galilei stated that the sun would rise and set, but it was because the earth moved around the sun, it offended the church, and he was forced to recant that idea or fact charges of heracy (most heratics were often killed painfully). Today however, science has proven Galileo to be the one who was correct, but this directly conflicts with the bible.
Since the word of the lord can not be moved, are there people out there who still think that the earth sits stationary on a pillar?
