Sure it does. That has nothing to do with whether or not you have a clue regarding what those facts are or how they were determined.

Not at all. You have simply been working with phenomenon that were discovered by people who were smarter than you are.

Then why did you earlier try to argue that a circle was a sphere?

Sadly, when asked to show that, you failed. You were instead able to show only where the Bible described the earth as a circle.

Which then inspired you to cite even another verse of the Bible that proved I was correct. That was probably the most fun moment I have had in this thread.

I hold no more hostility towards the Bible than I do any other ancient work of fiction. But of course I am biased, just like you. The difference between us is that my biases regarding the Bible do not derive from pure sectarian prejudice.

Both verses demonstrated that the Bible describes the earth as a sphere.

You are the one who made the nonsensical argument that it says the earth is flat.

Only someone with a biased and hostile attitude towards the Bible could make such an inane assertion.

The Bible doesn't always reflect that we live on a spinning, revolving, sphere... which I would think that God would have known and would have inspired the authors to tell, but he didn't. That is why the Bible reflects that we live on a flat earth.

The term "ends of the earth" is used quite a bit in the Bible. I have received hundreds of e-mails saying "the term 'ends of the earth' is a saying, it's not literal", but they forget that it is a figurative saying today. When the Bible was written it wasn't a figure of speech... it was a fact. Even as late as 1492, people were convinced that silly old Columbus was going to fall off of the earth. But as we know today, the earth is a sphere, and there are no ends on a sphere. Just pick up a ball and find its ends.

Even if one was to accept that God was foreseeing enough to put futuristic lingo which matched the beliefs of the day in. But Job 38:13 speaks of the earth being taken by the physical ends with "That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?"

The topic of the thread is teaching evolution in public schools.

Evolution, if valid, should stand on its own - not be supported by comparing it to alternative explanations for the origin of life, of which there are many.

Try to stay on topic.
Which it does, in spades. You are one of the few whose agenda (religion dogma) prevents any sort of understanding

There is no "law of evolution".

If you think that there is any scientific laws of anything, then you don't understand the first thing about science.

Don't you know that the highest scientific status of anything is a theory?

You should take your own suggestion.

The topic is whether the Law of Evolution should be taught in school, NOT, whether it is fact or not, yet you keep demanding proof it is fact, when science has already done that repeatedly. You reject their evidences and conclusions, but your dogma is so strong that no level of proof could ever overcome your pre-conceived notion it is false.

Except the Law of Gravity, et al. Give it up.
