Where in the Bible does is say the Earth is the center of the universe. Book, chapter and verse.?

Question

many critics say that God says or implies that the Earth is the center of the Universe, so I wanted proof.

Answer 1

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Earth is the center of the universe. This was something believed by the Catholic Church that was not contained in the Bible (they imprisoned Galileo for teaching otherwise during the Inquisition and forced him to recant his teachings about the universe).

Answer 3

The Center Of The Bible

Answer 4

The Bible does not say that the Earth is the center of the universe, however the Bible DOES state that the Earth is unique.

It is clear that the Earth has been appointed a very unique role. For example, the psalmist stated that “the heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men” (115:16). The Earth, apparently, was created uniquely for mankind. Statements made by the inspired apostle Paul in Acts 17:24-26 echo this same sentiment. It is of interest to note that many celestial bodies—the Moon, the Sun, and stars—are mentioned in Scripture, and even spoken of as having definite purposes. Specifically, the Sun and Moon are said to be useful for marking off days, seasons, and years (Genesis 1:14). And, we are informed that “one star differeth from another star in glory” (1 Corinthians 15:41). Yet no celestial body, except the Earth, is spoken of in Scripture as being a “dwelling place.”

Furthermore, the Earth is unique in that Christ’s activities are described as having occurred on this planet. It was on the Earth that the godhead became incarnate through Christ (see John 1:1ff.). It was on the Earth that Christ died for the sins of men (Hebrews 2:9). It was on the Earth that His bodily resurrection occurred (1 Corinthians 15), and from the Earth that He ascended to His Father in heaven (Acts 1:9-10; Ephesians 4:8-10).

Answer 5

What was your question? If you really think the bible has no scientific errors then you have either never reads the bible or have the most appalling understanding of science. It is really depressing to think in the 21st Century there are still people who believe that biblical prophecies have been fulfilled and that others will be. Quoting the bible proves nothing it is circular reasoning. You should try and understand the real history of the middle east and of how, when and why the books of the Old Testament were written before you make such ludicrous claims of authenticity.

Answer 6

The Bible does not say the earth is the center of the universe.
Therefore: No book, no chapter, no verse.

Answer 7

Per modern cosmology, the universe is expanding uniformly in all directions from whatever vantage point one might choose. Each vantage point (including Earth) has an equal claim to the center point so it is perfectly valid to claim that the Earth is at the center of the universe and the sun, planets & stars revolve around it. Take that Copernicus!

Wow there's a lot of know-it-alls on here who actually know nothing, for instance Mr Creation Crusher 3000 must be feeling very proud of him self with his magnificent answer, but to someone who has actually read the bible and has at least some very basic knowledge of the Hebrew language it really isn't magnificent at all, you see the Hebrew word translated "day" has a variety of meanings, including ‘a long time; the time covering an extraordinary event.’ (Old Testament Word Studies, Grand Rapids, Mich.; 1978, W. Wilson, p. 109) The term used allows for the thought that each "day" could have been thousands of years in length. As for the so called "scientific community" he implies that scientists are all in agreement and united when nothing can be further from the truth, in fact there are an ever increasing number of scientists who are now considering creational theory's, For example, mathematician William A. Dembski wrote that the "intelligent design" evident in "observable features of the natural world .　.　. can be adequately explained only by recourse to intelligent causes." Molecular biochemist Michael Behe sums up the evidence this way: "You can be a good Catholic and believe in Darwinism. Biochemistry has made it increasingly difficult, however, to be a thoughtful scientist and believe in it. Come on you clever and wise [in your own eyes] atheists do your own research before posting an answer after all you only sound clever to people as clever as yourself. [Mathew 15: 14]

Answer 9

Nowhere. If you're referring to the famous medievel belief, that actually came from the writings of Ptolemy, a 2nd century Greek astronomer. In his model, the earth was at the center of the universe, with the Sun, moon and stars all orbiting us in perfect circles. When his earth-centric universe theory was re-discovered in medievel Europe, it was eagerly embraced by church-sponsored scientists who believed that man was God's unique and special creation. The Biblical passage they used as "proof" is in Joshua 10, in which Joshua commands the sun to stand still in the sky to preserve daylight.

This belief was so accepted by the church that when Copernicus' writings surfaced that placed the Sun at the center of the Solar System, Martin Luther called him a "fool" for contradicting scripture.

Answer 10

It does not say that the earth is the center of the universe.

The earth is fixed at (or near) the center of the universe. The sun and other planets travel around it. That is what the Bible plainly says [Ps. 93:1, Ps. 19:1-6, Joshua 10:12-14] and what the evidence indicates.

For example, Ps. 93:1 says:

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
