What keeps the Earth from falling down? Something about the Sun & gravity, you say? Sounds iffy to me. Well, what keeps the Sun from falling down?

What do you think of their take on things?; 21 June 2007 at 23:50
Andrew said...: I'm afraid I think hteir take on things is misjudged due to an over-emphasis on being literal with the collected works that became the bible. The sun, it would seem logical, is the main player of our solar system exerting the crucial dynamic scientific forces, around which the much lesser beings of mass, the planets revolve.; 22 June 2007 at 00:16
