Re: Evidences Answered
Actually, the exact distances between the stars is unknown.
Bologna. The distances to most stars within about 100 parsecs of here are known to within a few percent. Te distance to the several hundred billion stars that make up the galaxy Messier 106 are known to within about 4%. And that distance is 25,000,000 light years.

It says the Sun and Moon stopped.
Not just stopped, but each stopped over spots less than ten miles apart:
Joshua 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies.
A pretty primitive cosmology, indeed.

Re: Evidences Answered
There is a large amount of evidence for fish and plankton being able to survive salinity changes.
A minority of species, yes. Many die immediately. Few invertabrates can, though - not to mention what happens when you submerge shallow-water corals under a few thousand feet of muddy water.

You apparently ignored the fact that this is poetry.
I am perfectly aware that it's poetry, exaggerating to describe an event in heroic language like Homer did in the Iliad. Tell your literalist co-religionists that it's poetry, not me.

Re: Re-long day
Now one might interpret this as "stop moving", because suns do that, too.
Oh? One single example, please.

Hello, Issabee, and welcome to EvC! I see that you know your way around the subject already - we value you contributions here.
Woodmoorappe "claims that amphibians were not taken on the ark," eh? Is he aware that seawater kills all modern amphibians just like Kryptonite? Does he have them all sitting in fresh-water pools on his "floating mats of vegetation" for a year? That's pretty rich....

Re: Genesis is a Myth
Genesis 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created.
So what is the problem with that?
Genesis 2:7, 19 Man was created before animals were created.
So what is the problem with that?
They are contrary to what we observe!!!!!! That's what's wrong with them!

Re: Genesis is a Myth
Which new entity gave the world a single new law not contained in the OT
You're yanking our chain, right?
Are there no automobiles where you live? No air pollution? No chemicals classified as Dangerous Goods? Where does the OT mention air piracy? Or even sea piracy?
Get real, Joe. You're just being silly.
