They tell you that we are spinning through an expanding space. God says in Genesis that His Creation is finished.
They tell you that Earth is tilted on an imaginary axis, they are indirectly telling you that Earth bows to or reveres the Sun. God says not to worship the heavenly bodies!!
They tell you you're living on a ball (Baal). God says He is sitting upon the circle of the Earth (the circle is a flat shape).
We are in the end times, if you don't begin to believe God before alleged human science, you don't know where you're standing on.
1 Tim. 6:20. O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called.

1. Expanding =/= Not finished. If there was a god who set everything in motion, then it'd be like saying because the atoms in your steak are still bouncing it's not a finished meal.
2. How does that even follow? Would that also mean even if we're on a flat, stationary disc that slightly slanted plants, trees. hills, or mountains worship the sun?
3. Homophones, the enemy of God. But only in English.
4. If you don't believe in grammar, irrespective a belief on gods, you won't know "where you're standing on" is wrong. Granted you're apparently rarely right, but still.
5. Observing reality =/= vain or profane babbling.
I don't really trust the Bible as an authority on anything, but even using it doesn't justify the claims.
"They tell you that Earth is tilted on an imaginary axis, they are indirectly telling you that Earth bows to or reveres the Sun."
But only at a certain point of the year. Otherwise it's tilted away from the sun. Except on the othrr side of the world, THAT end of the axis is tilted sunward at the opposite point in the year.
Whst a lot of ignorance in this whole post. Makes me think of Saint Augustine.
Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances, . . . and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn." -- St. Augustine, "De Genesi ad litteram libri duodecim"
Whenever you start FAILing, Mrs. Falon,
And things seem hard or tough,
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough...!:
(*Sings *)
'Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned
The sun that is the source of all our power
Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth! '
@Spacewyrm , I don't know, watching baseBaal and footBaal might be interesting, like the ancient Mesoamerican ballgame custom of decapitating the captain of the losing team.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
