The Church told us:
1. The sun revolves around the earth.
(1 Chronicles 16:30 & Ecclesiastes 1:5)
WRONG
2. The earth is flat.
(Revelation 7:1 & Isaiah 11:12)
WRONG
3. The sky is a solid dome.
(Gen 1:14-17 & Job 37:18)
WRONG
Do you think the belief in creationism will die out like all the other lies?

Uh....o..k. You are interpreting it all wrong. You're reading it literally. Its like when someone writes a poem or story even a song. They use figures of speech, metaphors,ect. to talk about what it is they mean, but in a different way. Not sure how much reading you do but if you don't read much, i suggest some higher english written poems or stories so that you can understand the meaning of things more clearly, try seeing what it is they mean, as in that saying, read between the lines. Understand it .Not just read it literally how it is written. If you read and listen to everything literally then you won't ever really know anything. Its like figures of speech. They said something different than just saying what they mean, but if you have that knowledge you won't take it ALL literally. If someone says," I'll go to the end of the earth to find them if i have to," do you really think that they mean that the earth is flat and you can get to the end of it. NOPE, its a figure of speech.

Ecc 1:5 says 5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. and 1 Chronicles says Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Neither says the Sun revolves around the Earth.
Your other verses are equally Not as you claim them to be so if you please leave the interpretation to those that can read.

I am sorry to say but you are doing the same as the people you may criticize. Your interpretations are very far fetched and as laughable as some of the interpretaions Christians use in some of the verses.
And the sad thing is some people commenting here are probably just taking your word for it and do not know what they say.
Try again

Ah I doubt it'll ever go away...just like there's (sadly) some people who still believe that the world is flat...so there'll always be people who'll believe in some omnipotent being saying "Let there be..." and it poofs...so whatever happens happens...just hope it DOES change...

As long as there is religion, the idea of creationism.

Cognitive dissonance absolutely prevents one from seeing an error in a core belief.

All these bs religions will eventually die out. Nothing to support the bs.

Yup in a while when the Christians adjust to Evolutionism

i don't care so much that they were wrong. ignorance is not a crime - the sort of mindset that can say, "no mr galileo i will not look through your telescope, i already know what i will see", now that is a crime.
