Previously, we began a series of articles about the so-called flat/stationary-earth prooftexts in the Bible. There is an abundance of vocal flat/stationary proponents (FSIPs) that go around citing a handful of biblical verses, alleging that these verses are proof that the Bible depicts, indicates, or implies a flat and/or stationary world. In the previous article I explained how these FSIPs are failing to read the text carefully, removing these verses from their immediate literary context, and distorting the intended meaning of passages in order to seemingly validate their claims.

Have you ever interacted with someone who believes that the Bible depicts a flat, stationary earth? Or perhaps encountered a meme asserting that “the Bible contains 200+ flat-earth verses”? Or have you seen someone on social media quote verses like Job 38:14, Psalm 96:10, or Joshua 10:12-13 as “proof” that the Bible indicates a flat, unmoving earth? If you have, you’re not alone. These allegations proliferate online and in myriad other digital formats, coming not only from skeptics and critics of the Bible but also from numerous professing Christians who claim allegiance to it. But do these verses mean what they think they mean?

New observations of the angular sizes of distant galaxies challenge one of the essential underlying assumptions of the big bang – that the “fabric” of space is expanding as galaxies recede. Without an expanding space, a big bang is impossible. These observations support a new creation-based model of cosmology – the Doppler model – which makes specific quantitative predictions about future observations.
