Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Praise the Lord! He has shown me how to prove scientifically that the sun is no more than 500 miles overhead.

Here is the proof:

To start off with, the sun is hot enough to glow yellow, so we can use Wein's Displacement Law to determine the temperature.

Wein's Displacement Law:
Peak Wavelength in meters = displacement constant / temperature in Kelvin

Yellow light has a wavelength between 570nm and 580nm, so we'll solve for 575nm. Since we are working with nanometers rather than meters, we'll simplify the math by multiplying the displacement constant by 10^9.

575 = 2897768.5/T
575 * T = 2897768.5
T = 2897768.5/575
T = 5039.6° K (8611.6° F)

So the sun is about 5039.6° Kelvin.

Now, the average temperature of the earth is 59° F, or about 288° K. The mean temperature gradient of the troposphere is 6° K/km, so let's solve for the distance.

d = (5039.6 - 288)/6
d = 791.9 km (491.1 miles)

There you have it. The sun is roughly 491.1 miles overhead. Depending on the exact shade of yellow (whether it's closer to 570nm or 580nm), this figure could be off by as much as 5 miles. However, I don't have a spectrometer handy, and I'm willing to live with an uncertainty of ±5 miles. It's not like I'm planning to visit anytime soon -- my shoes would melt .

The LORD is so good to me. Praise the sweet name of Jesus.

the part where you are in error is where you say "Now, the average temperature of the earth is 59° F, or about 288° K. The mean temperature gradient of the troposphere is 6° K/km, so let's solve for the distance." Now what you said exactly isnt wrong, but supposing you can use this method IS WRONG. Your assuming the Sun is actually IN the troposphere, of which you offer no proof. not only that, you have not established by providing reference to previous use, that the method you are employing here is actually the correct way to do things. the simple fact that it is ALWAYS cold on high mountain tops proves that as you get closer to the sun (at least while on earth) it does not in fact get warmer. this is because the sun is not 500 miles above the earth.

There it is little children. I was not rude, and I debunked your idea using indisputable facts which you yourself can observe. please apologize for being so quick to dismiss those who have correctly been discerning your folly

I didn't understand a word you said, but I'm fairly sure I'm offended.

Is this a satire site?

Of course it is, God mocker!

Why would we bother to study the Bible if we didn't take it with the utmost of seriousness?

You need look no further than Brother V's Bible in a year Pastor Peter's Things that the Bible doesn't say, I highly recommend Dr. D's the 10 commandments and their punishments. True Disciple's dissertation on population displacement is highly enlightening. Billy Bob Black's series of the Greatest Smitings of the Bible is great stuff too.

Yes it is... THE only TRUE followers of Jesus our Lord and Savior, and one that also appreciates the use of common courtesy!

How about you show that to US by posting an introduction in the.. INTRODUCTION FORUM.

It is not that difficult.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

LOL so basically reading Leibniz and Hume or Plato, or at least having an uneducated atheist discussion is too boring, so you mentally masterbate here instead by acting like a jackass? I really hope the number of posts you have is a fabrication.

I don't even know who you are referring to, but don't you think they would have sported a greater number of posts if the idea was to fool you into thinking that they are a true member of this forum?

Listen pal, if you are having a hard time wrapping your brain around the idea of seas parting, two of every animal on a boat, flaming shrubs and snakes that talk, city walls falling from trumpet blasts, eating dung bread, virgin births, the dead rising from the grave and walking, Jesus riding a horse with a sword that protrudes from His mouth and etc., I don't believe you and I have much to talk about.

My expertise lie within being Biblically sound and Christian history. I leave creation science to the experts.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

The sun is at an average distance of about 93,000,000 miles (150 million kilometers) away from Earth. It is so far away that light from the sun, traveling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 meters) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach us.

Why would God place something so important to the Earth so far away? What's the point? If you need to read in bed, you turn on a little lamp on your nightstand, you don't erect huge searchlights on the other side of town.

Also, if it takes 8 minutes to reach us, if the sun suddenly ceased to exist, what would you see in the sky? By your theory, we would see some phantom sun in the sky. We would see something that doesn't exist. That defies the laws of logic.

I am very sorry to hear GOD chose to curse you in such a fashion. Judging by the content of your posts, it would seem that you mistake the output of one orifice for another.

It must be a terrible cross to bear, and you have my sympathies.

You are a evil little God mocker aren't you. You should at least attempt to keep a civil tongue, after all you are addressing a True Christian Pastor(R), You should apologize immediately.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

Why are you trying to get banned? It seems like you are seeking Jesus and you are trying to reconcile what you have been taught about both.

That's not going to work. You demonizing us won't make the Word of God go away. The questions are not going anywhere.

You cannot serve two masters both science and God for too long. You will have to choose someday.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

I find it interesting, that when Rev Jim blinds and astounds this Brophanity with a logical, sound and uncorrupt reply to its question, it resorts to such intolerable profanity.

I have been reading Titus and also Ephesians a lot of late, and these verses sprang to mind immediately as to this person's demeanor:

Titus 2:7-8

In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

Ephesians 4:29

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

As you can see, there was nothing Godly or of grace of this Brophanity's words.

Re: The Sun: Millions of miles away?

wow. Let me put this in a way you simpletons will understand.

Do any of you have satellite T.V? Or do you think that's some magic devil box.

Anyways, I assume some of you have the luxury of fine satellite entertainment. Well you know how a satellite works? It's some mechanism we shoot up in the sky (where ur buddy G.O.D hangs out) that sends a signal down to Earth (where we are right now). But it rotates around the Earth, at least 15,000 miles in the sky, if not there is no logical way that signal could reach the entire country (and no, God is not controlling Direct TV). And yes there are pictures from space of the Earth taken from satellites, once again, at least 15,000 miles in the sky, where there is less gravity. You see here on Earth, there's a reason when you throw a baseball in the air it comes back down, but the sun hasn't crashed down into the Earth yet, it's called gravity.

so for you simpletons, and yes you are simpletons, I can't believe this nonsense some of you are spewing and how racist and illogical you guys are.......
If the sun were 500 miles above the Earth, we wouldn't have cable T.V.
