if so many stars exists how can earth not be affect by thier gravity?

Question

there are only 5000 stars in universe and they're fixed to solid firmament as mentioned in Genesis. scientists are devils pawns.

solar system is a lie and earth is flat immobile circle.

please take bible literally or you are a fool.

scientists should stop being so arrogant and respect it instead of spreading lies!!!

Answer 1

You're back. I wonder if maybe you are an antagonistic but science-minded person, an atheist and/or anti-Christian who is trying to make Christians look stupid. If you are, I am a science-minded atheist who disapproves of your tactics. Let the Christians state their own opinions. And let the flat-earthers speak for themselves, (if they dare.)

I don't blame you for being appalled, even outraged at the deliberate and unfathomable ignorance of some, but let them expose themselves for what they are.

If you are making these posts because you actually believe them, then I feel sorry for you. Your problem is not academic. It is psychological and you need counseling.

BTW, the gravity of all the stars *does* affect us, but only ver slightly because of their enormous distances from us. And they are distributed all around, not in just one direction, even if there *were* only 5000 of them.

Answer 2

The other stars, and there are trillions of trillions of them, ALL affect Earth gravitationally. However, they are astoundingly far away, much further than humans are truly capable of grasping, so the strength as well as the rate of change of these gravitational fields is nearly zero. In addition, there are stars and galaxies in every direction, more or less uniformly distributed on the very largest scales, which means that the sum of all the countless gravitational forces in one direction is exactly balanced by the countless gravitational attractions from the opposite direction. The net force, which would cause motion to change, is zero and the apparent effect is nonexistent.

The Earth is not flat. Even Aristotle was perfectly aware of that millennia ago. How did the ancient Greeks know? Because the shadow of the Earth cast on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is ALWAYS circular, never elliptical, which would be the case if the Earth were a flat disc and the Sun sometimes shone at an angle, say if the eclipse happened near sundown instead of in the middle of the night. Furthermore, Aristosthenes actually measured the circumference of the Earth by measuring shadows at distant locations, at the same time on the same date.

Answer 3

The concept of gravity is hogwash! on an ultra microscopic level everything is a "soup of atoms" like a huge all connecting blob, this is why it is feasible and somewhat easy for "Blisskeeper" to bring atoms together to form the first pair of each "being group" (no other group is allowed to see this because then there would be no required "wonderment" within each "realization of existence experience"). ,.but on a molecular level and above everything is "pushing" away from everything else....I dont become the chair I sit in at this computer because, my self and the chair require their own space and are pushing foriegn matter away...those stars DO effect us.....by PUSHING us down, all around each ball or sphere. The whole universe is under pressure...this is evident as you see a galaxy that seems to be swirling into a drain...that is where an extreme mass "Black Hole" is condensing, and where it is all spread out is the result of a massless black hole, the "event horizon" (crunch phase transition) is where "Blisskeeper" lives and is the opposite side and one and are one and the same. So the big bang theory is also baloney. the universe is expanding and crunching in always and perpetually at the same time. Just because scientists can make sqiggly marks on a paper and assign a value..stringing some syntax they call an equation, doesnt prove their "guess" is fact. As for "flat world" > I used to belong to that and they sent me a flat world map, it was a "tongue and cheek" which hung on my wall as a novelty item conversation piece mostly.

Answer 4

The bible is not a science book. It was not given to Moses to tell the Israelites how the universe was made. It was given to tell them how to live.

You should also understand the written text of the first 5 books of the bible is not meant to be the whole story. The text is more like a set of Power Point slides will a lot of oral explanation to make it make sense. All this oral history takes many years to study.

Unfortunately, the Hebrew text got translated into Greek and folks started studying it without even realizing that they were missing a giant part of the story.

The point of Genesis is not describe how god created the universe but to tell man that god is the source of all morals.

Answer 5

Becky;

take it easy ok. It is upto you to believe God theory or Scientific theory.

But you need to realize that Facts are Facts. You can have only 1 fact. No exceptions.

All available evidences show that Universe is governed by science, facts, matter, physics, chemistry etc etc and not by God.

We belive in God for our selfishness, That is cheap. We have fear of death, health problems, loss of job, money, injuries etc etc, so we pray God to help us. It is not a true respect, it is all selfish. If tomorrow somebody proves that you could get more help from an entity called "Bod" than God then everybody would dump God and start praying Bod. ( Bod is an imaginary power for the discussion purpose here ). Some people say they believe in God not for any benefit, but just out of respect etc. But that is all bogus. Everybody has something in his mind, some selfishness. It may be getting some mental peace or hoping to reach heaven after death; whatever any human who worships God is selfish to some extent. Some are more some are less.

Earth is not affected by gravity of other stars because the space is so vast beyond our imagination. These stars are like a dust particle in the universe. The distance from earth to these stars is huge and at that distance there cannot be much gravity effect. That is all. It is like 2 dots in the sky separated by billions of miles. So what gravity you expect at that distance??

Answer 6

There are galaxy and all have black holes in the middle which furnish the gravity that holds all the solar systems in orbit around the black hole. The gravity is so strong it may be 100 light years across. Then the distance between galaxy's is so great that even with the gravity of the black hole they do not normally affect one another.

Answer 7

You are right that so many stars are in the sky. But their gravity does not effect us so much as the sun. The gravity of sun causes tides. But the pull of the other stars doesn't effect largely on us.

Answer 8

Good to hear from you again, Beck. You make this forum feel like a talkback radio station.

Your calling other people arrogant is truly ironic, given the things you write in your "questions". Please look into yourself and remove the plank from your own eye first. (Matthew 7:1-5).

And again, will you PLEASE tell us where in Genesis it says ANY of what you claim it does? There are a few interesting bible verses about those who use the scriptures for their own purposes, aren't there?

Answer 9

Because they're really far away and gravity is subject to the inverse square law. As you'd know if you actually knew anything at all about physics.

Answer 10

a well-thought out, balanced, intelligently asked question...

why don't you watch some more tv, or re-read some more of the bible...printed on paper, chemically treated by scientific processes, printed by machines designed by engineers, & sold by outlets built to strict codes (just like your safe home)...

i trust you live a life without everday danger - unlike the rest of the animal kingdom.

and finally, good luck in the workplace, if this is your worldview.
