TWO sets of implications here worthy of note.
First, for the last 30 years I have said that the Bible is in the same exact category as Aesop's Fables and Grimm's Fairy Tales - stories to amuse, amaze, and (sometimes) admonish little children - because the stories were written before the advent of TV, DVDs, CDs, and even {ghack!!} cassette tapes. So the only way to keep kids quiet at night in the nomadic and small-village settlements was to have the village story-teller entertain the little brats with stories that kept their attention until they were bored to tears and fell asleep in self-defense.
But then, there is an implied arrogance that Job knew enough about gravity to tell someone (other than children) something about it. He couldn't have know doodlum-squat. It wasn't until the Italian Renaissance that gravity began to be taken as a serious thing of a scientific nature. And if instead of Job, you meant that God didn't tell anyone about gravity during the Biblical era, then what else isn't He telling us? And isn't it typical of tyrants to only tell you what they want you know?
You right Job did not no nothing but he did write what he saw and heard from God. That verse went ""He stretches out the north over the empty space, and He hung the earth on nothing" (Job 26:7). God told the people this through Job and if you look out of the night (north sky, if you did not know about gravity, it would look as though the earth was hanging in the sky by Nothing.
No, your explaination is that JOB just guessed and got it almost right???????Since there is no God, that is what he had to do. I tell you Doc,,,,,, these authors back then were actually better than the ones we have today.
I do believe I could show you a thousand things in the Bible that should not be there because of the intellect of the authors, but you would still not agree. Little things like Moses not wanting to address the Pharoah because he was not well spoken.
Of course this came out in one book...written in around 45AD and the other book (Exodus) written in 6-7 BC hundreds of miles apart, yet Exodus does not account for why Arin, Moses'e Brother spoke to the Pharoah instead of Moses. Just one of many and I know, I KNOW it was all a hoax.
If you really read the bible and don't listen to these charlatans out there, I believe you would be surprised at its complexity. A complexity that even our authors today could not come close to matching.
Don't let me stop you, I am only a messenger.
p.s. we now have people believing they are different races instead of the race they were born to...Who would have figured it would go this far??????HUmmmmmmm
We now have kids that say they are a different gender so the doctors are giving them hormones to help them through a bad time. KIDs now.... Kids that have no knowledge of Good and Evil.
