A few comments:
The notion that the Bible says:
The Earth is a Sphere:
In Is 40:22, the hebrew word used for circle is chûgh, a variation of the word, mechûghah, is used elsewhere to describe a compass.
The word used to to describe a ball (or sphere) is dur (Is 22:18 "... toss you like a ball (or dur)..." To be fair, the word dur can also simply mean "round" but it's obviously the more appropriate word to use to describe a spherical object.
The number of stars is incalculable:
Am I the only one not impressed by this conclusion?
The Earth is suspended over nothing:
Job 26:7. This was Job's observation. God "corrected" him in his response, saying,
Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. -- Proverbs 38:1-4
Turns out Job was right. Ouch!
The Universe made of invisible elements:
Hebrews 11:13 reads: "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command...."
This isn't science, it's magic, hence, the premise "by faith"
Each star is different:
Again, not impressed with the conclusion that merely required plain sight.
Light moves:
Job 38:19-20 Talk about a terrible, and counter-productive attempt to prove Biblical consistency with science. These verses blatantly expose biblical ignorance reqarding the spherical shape of the earth and it's relationship to the sun. Observe:
"What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside?"
Answer: the other side of our ROUND planet, which revolves around the sun, which provides constant light. LOL.
That's all for now, I may tackle the others later...
