That the earth was the center of the universe, or that lightning would strike churches? I don't even know what that was about, but I am safe in assuming that as with the first two you were wrong about the third. Thus my point.
Check your facts and evidence.
Ezekiel 7:2
"You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel, An end: the end is come on the four corners of the land."
Often taken to mean the earth is flat.
Ecclesiastes 1:5
"Also, the sun rises and the sun sets; And hastening to its place it rises there again."
Sun moving around Earth.
Lightning striking churches? I dunno what he's talking about either. I'm interested- does the Hebrew translation say something different? And I know you may disagree, but do not deny me that people do in fact interpret these verses in the way I have here.
Also, Daystar, if you could not lump everyone together with one glorious insult I'd appreciate it. If you really think I'm illogical then, ok, that's weird, I like to believe I think fairly rationally. And I would turn around your point about you criticizing something you know nothing about and point it right back at you- you've blatantly called the theory of evolution "bullshit," contradicting the VAST majority of biologists, geologists and paleontologists who actually have experience in the field and actually have reason to believe the theory of evolution is correct in explaining the facts of evolution.
