FOR GARRY B / JUST WONDERING

Garry; Love your writings!! Have questions about this earth spinning so fast tho!!

Just one thought - If I'm in an airplane, (no longer on the earth) and flying west to California and the earth is spinning toward me, how is it that it never shortens my trip time? Or why would not the earth spin past me because it's traveling so fast, and since it's traveling so fast, how would I ever be able to land it the spot that was intended??

KJ21
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should “never be moved.”

The second miracle occurred when the sun stood still. The passage states that Joshua commanded the sun to stop. Here is the passage, Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, “O sun, stand still at Gibeon, And O moon in the valley of Aijalon.”

King James Bible
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

Job 38:4-7 New King James Version 4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? "Tell Me, if you have understanding." 5 Who determined its measurements?

How can anyone not believe in God once they learn that we are riding on a speck of dirt called Earth, in a boundless Universe, while travelling at a velocity of about 66,000 miles per hour in an orbit around the Sun that is 186 million miles in diameter, and at the same time we are rotating on the Earth's axis at a velocity of 1,000 miles per hour. Are you dizzy yet ? If the Earth did not rotate, like the moon does not rotate, there would only be one day per year comprised of six months of darkness followed by six months of daylight making the earth uninhabitable.

Also, if it were not for the 23.5-degree tilt, from perpendicular, of the Earth's axis there would be no four seasons on Earth, but only one season year around everywhere on Earth. The Northern and Southern Hemispheres would be in permanent Winter Season, and only a narrow band of area around the Equator would be inhabitable for life. When the Earth's tilt is towards the Sun we have Summer Season in the Northern Hemisphere , and when the Earth's tilt is away from the Sun in the Northern Hemisphere we have Winter Season. The seasons are opposite in the Southern Hemisphere.

We are also at a radius distance from the Sun of 93 million miles which is in a narrow life zone which is about 1 % of that distance in width. If the earth's orbit were 1/2 % farther away from the Sun all of the water on the earth would freeze into ice. If the Earth's orbit were 1/2 % closer to the Sun all of the water on the Earth would evaporate into vapor. It just so happens that the exact distance the earth is from the sun is the perfect distance to allow for water to exist in all three states of ice, liquid, and vapor at the same time.

IS ALL THIS JUST A MATTER OF LUCK ? WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF ALL THIS JUST HAPPENING ? Remember, we live in a 1 % wide life zone out of 93 million miles ! You decide if God is real or not.
