The Bible's Flat Earth

Hi Peg,The discussion in this thread is more Biblical than astronomical, but all Bluescat was saying is that the Earth's orbit isn't fixed because it is subject to variations and perturbations, and he even provided some examples. An orbit with minor variations is not equivalent to what we would normally refer to as "adrift in space" (though I suppose one could argue that everything everywhere is adrift in space). If you'd like more detail you should propose a new thread.--Percy
