    Helium floats because it's lighter than the air surrounding it. There's no air in space.

        Helium is heavier than nothing, therefore it won't float.

            No gravity in space. What's holding the Earth up? Nothing.

              That is not answer. So how can nothing hold up something. Everything needs something to hold it up.

                No gravity in space? Then what keeps all the objects we see within 500 miles intact? Would not the violent activity you theorize in conjecture blow everything into a blur with no distinction as discrete bodies?

                You work so hard at hating our Lord rather than just accept the gifts He gave you for entertainment. Have you no respect for His creation?

                In Jesus!

                  For something to fall their needs to be gravity.

                  What gives you the idea I hate the Lord? Also if nuclear fusion created a large enough explosion to cause the sun to move around, (hint: it doesn't) how would gravity help with that?

                    Gravity is supposed to make things stick to the earth. So why has the sun and stars not stuck to the earth.

                      How could the sun remain a disc if NOT for gravity keeping the circumference intact? Your theory of nuclear fusion would explode the sun into every imaginable geometric shape, flung to the far reaches of our solar system, if not for gravity to keep it intact.

                        The Bible says nothing about the sun being a disk

                          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.

                            Because Earth isn't the only body of mass with gravity, the sun has it's own gravity as does Jupiter and Mars. The moon has it's own gravity that has an effect on the tides of Earth. Gravity from several different things act on each other to hold them up.

                                No, it's a sin to use false science over the word of God. If applied properly, science is completely compatible with the Bible. In fact, many valuable scientific discoveries follow directly from use of the Bible.
                                I take my orders from Jesus H. Christ, supernatural born US citizen

                                Be wary of false Kumbaya Christians who use a highlighter and scissors to read the Bible. God wants us to read the lines, not between the lines. False Christians will go to Hell:
                                Matthew 7:22
                                Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
                                Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

                                Asking a Christian to prove God exists is like asking him to prove his phone rings because yours doesn't. Make that call yourself! Dial 0800-get-on-your-knees-and-pray.
