"The bible does state that the earth goes round the sun"
Correct me if I'm wrong but the last time I checked the earth does revolve around the sun.
Thank you, Dawky, for providing yet another true scientific statement from the Bible.
You are right
The earth does go round the sun
At last
But the bible actually says the sun goes round the earth
Because it is bullshiit written by ignorant people a long time ago
Psalms 102, 25-26, NKJV
Of old You laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 They will perish, but You will endure;
Yes, they will all grow old like a garment;
This is an accurate description of the 2cd Law of Thermodynamics. No new energy has been created since the beginning of the universe. But existing energy has changed form many times, much the way an auto engine converts chemical energy in gasoline into mechanical energy to move the auto. The amount of useable energy has been steadily declining since the instant of creation. Entropy is the normal state for everything in the universe: You and I and my car and everything in the universe is wearing out... Running down... Getting old. Entropy refers to the level of organization in a system and the level of organization in our universe has been declining for around 14B years.
These verses explain entropy in the level of language that uneducated nomadic herders of 3000 years ago could understand. The analogy to a garment growing old is near perfect. When the garment is new the colors are bright, the stitching is intact, the garment is clean and fully functional as designed. As the garment is worn colors fade, seams come loose, buttons fall off, etc. This deteriorations begins the moment the garment is completed and does not stop until the garment is retired. Eventually even the material itself will decay are return to elemental form. From a high level or organization to disorder is the norm for our universe.
These verses, written circa 1000 BC explain the effects of entropy on our universe correctly and in understandable language.
The Bible explained entropy 3000 years before Western Science did.
