Thanks for your response, and I appreciate you taking the time to lay out your position clearly.
Firstly, I just want to sincerely say—I don’t intentionally ignore anyone. Life gets busy, and with so many threads going on, I genuinely do miss the occasional post. If I overlooked something you shared, I’m truly sorry—it’s not personal, and it’s not avoidance.
Now regarding your comment—yes, I do believe Scripture is the inspired, authoritative Word of YHWH. So when it consistently describes the Earth as fixed, immovable, with the sun and moon moving above, and uses terminology that implies a flat plane with a firmament, I take that seriously. I'm not blindly clinging to an idea—I’ve just seen overwhelming consistency in the biblical narrative and plenty of things in modern science that simply don’t add up or are filled with assumptions and missing proofs.
You say you’re nearly 100% sure what my response would be if you asked whether evidence would change my mind. But respectfully, I’d ask: What qualifies as “evidence”? Because many so-called evidences today are heavily reliant on models, theories, edited photos, or narratives pushed by the same institutions that profit from keeping people blind.
I'm always open to examining information. But it must be tested—not just accepted because the “majority” or the “experts” said so. Scripture teaches us to test all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21), not follow the crowd.
I respect that you use various independent sources. I also research far and wide. But I’ll say this: truth doesn’t need to be popular to be truth. And sometimes, the hardest truths are the ones most rejected.
Thanks again for engaging. I’d rather have tough, honest discussions than empty agreements any day.
