what'S A PERFECT VACUUM?

WHAT IS missing THAT MAKES something a perfect vacuum?

he doesn't say

i guess it wasn't all that important for us to know...

He doesn't?

START AT GENESIS


tell me what He said He did....in order.

i don't want theoretical jargon.

IS SPACE MADE UP OF ANYTHING? YES OR NO

a perfect vacuum is a region of space that does not contain any matter

space isn't 'made up' of anything such as matter or energy...space -is- a thing

like i said...evidently there was nothing for the earth to orbit until day four when God created the celestial objects

If this has been addressed before, I apologize.


I was wondering, in Joshua (I think) it mentions the sun "stopping" for a specified period of time. While it would seem to be that they believed the sun stopped, it is quite likely it is a matter of reference (most likely in fact). However, if the earth is rotating 1000+ kmph, it surely couldn't have stopped immediately without serious supernatural intervention.

That would be one hit on the brakes.



EDIT:
May have found the solution.

Critics insist that such an event is impossible, and thereby impugn the veracity of the Scriptures. Various solutions to this alleged problem have been proposed. This article will consider four of them. First, some suggest that the text should be understood in a figurative sense and that the event did not involve a miracle. Hence, it is suggested that the Lord helped Israel win the battle in such an incredibly short time that she felt as though the day had been lengthened, when in fact it was not (Keil, 1980, 2:110). http://www.apologeticspress.org/apcontent.aspx?category=11&article=1139 <--- click

well you are making it difficult to answer because you haven't defined any of the terms you are using in your questions...

you haven't even defined whether by 'space' you mean 'empty space' or 'outer space'

i did the math for that once... a sudden stop would have been terribly destructive...but the bible does not say it stopped suddenly...

a gradual stop could have been so gentle that nobody would have felt it

Sounds like an option.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MADE DISTINCTION

WHAT KIND OF math?

666.66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 MATH?

OR GOD'S MATH?

well they are two different things... outer space is not empty space

so which one are you asking about?

the math of the natural laws God created

the math of the natural laws God created

what is God's solar calendar?

is space made up of anything?

is there anything in space?

 

[zone]

so which one are you asking about?

ok.

so there is matter in "outer space"?

what's the difference between no matter in space/matter in space and a vacuum?

what is missing in a vacuum?

is space a vacuum?

Honestly, I'm not so sure we can say there are natural laws per se, but rather things we have observed to be repetitive. Slightly un-related example, death. We don't know for a fact that we will die. (i can think of one who didn't, enoch i think is his name)

yes there is matter in outer space...a very small amount very thinly spread

in a vacuum all matter is absent

empty space is a vacuum...outer space is not
