There are so many established facts about the earth (that even the creationists can deny) that run contrary to what the bible says.
If we were to believe the creationists we should believe that the earth has shrunk to become much smaller than the sun, and has taken to circling the latter, instead of vice versa, as originally established. Furthermore (confirming its sinful nature), it has floated up off its pillars or foundations, lost its four corners, and become a silly ball, on which there just is no possible mountaintop from which one could see all nations of the Earth.
Not to mention those silly clouds that seem to have replaced the "doors" in the firmament that let the rain through.
I wonder how many creationists will claim these are only metaphors. If this is the case, are you allowed to pick and choose which bits of the bible are metaphors and which bits are to be taken literally ?
