Oh I watched the shorter video in the OP. I was just hoping you'd post your Biblical argument for geocentrism in your own words. Since you seem so reluctant to do so....
At ~2:00, the guy cites (sort of) the following Bible passages.
1 Chronicles 16:30
Psalms 33:9
Psalms 19:5-6
Ecclesiastes 1:5
The guy in the video then argues that faith is superior to reason, because "reason leads to folly" and "faith is a special gift of grace". He then argues that the Age of Reason marked the beginning of reason replacing God's Word as the source of human knowledge and the basis of science. As an example, he cites Copernicus' findings about a heliocentric solar system that goes against "the book of nature" and scripture. He calls the "Copernican revolution" the start of man beginning to question the Word of God.
He also claims that the idea of the earth being "the third rock from the sun" is a presupposition that contradicts the belief in the earth being the center of God's creation, and compares "Copernicans" to "Darwinians", in that just as "Darwinians" doubt God's word on the creation of life, "Copernicans" doubt God's Word on the creation of the earth and universe. And just like creationists, he argues that by accepting the scientific conclusion of a rotating earth that orbits the sun, you are placing a higher value on the works of man than the Word of God.
At ~6:30 he switches gears a bit and looks into the "beliefs of these Copernicans". He argues that they were anti-God, anti-scripture, and wanted to replace faith with reason. At this point he moves away from any scriptural argument for geocentrism.
At ~13:30 he gets back little to philosophical/religious arguments, and claims that we either let reason, "natural experience", and man determine our reality, or do we determine from scripture and revealed knowledge from God. From that he argues that if you do not accept what scripture says about the cosmos, you cannot be said to believe in the inerrancy of scripture. And once you do that, you open the door to everything "that is secular and pagan" (and he repeats the ignorant creationist argument that "evolution is only a theory").
At 16:00 he gets into the question of Biblical literalism. From that he argues that Psalms 19:5-6 is a direct analogy to the how the sun behaves in relation to the earth, and any reading or interpretation that isn't geocentric, is questioning the authority and infallibility of God's Word (and is "twisting scripture").
At ~23:00 he cites Martin Luther and John Calvin and their belief that the Bible clearly teaches geocentrism. He repeats their view that by agreeing with the "Copernicans", we would, 1) be tearing God from His throne, 2) "destroy everything so that men become like brute beasts", and 3) be "infected with this deadly poison that leads to ruin". He further says that anyone who agrees with the "Copernican view has "contempt for God".
At ~29:00 he makes the same argument as creationists, in that those who reject the clear Word of God on geocentrism are who Romans 1:21 is referring to. He says "the Bible explicitly states that the earth is at absolute rest" and that the statements on this are no more questionable than the Law of God itself.
Also, like creationists do with evolution, he argues that Copernicanism leads to lawlessness, chaos, and discord. He then cites his father, the Christian reconstructionist
R.J. Rushdoony, in support of the argument that Christians cannot take a neutral stance on this, or any other issue. He then declare the Copernican view an "atheistic" viewpoint just like evolution and Marxism. He then sights Isaiah 5:20-21.
He finishes by saying "reason is subordinate to revelation and observation is subordinate to faith" (@ 32:30).
So what do other Christians here think of all this? Specifically, I'm wondering what KingJ, Wormwood, Christian Juggernaut, Uppsala, and the other conservatives think.
