Then how is it capable of only "turning on" increasing or decreasing portions of its surface as each 28 day cycle passes? And why can't the sun manage this?
You clearly have a mind that seems only able to comprehend thousands of years old explanations.
Just curious.... what do you do for a living..... either of you?

pckts,
In a PM to me, you just said I criticized your faith. Actually, I intended to point out to you, your lack of faith. You seem to feel that God did not give us the ability to learn about the world around us, and to grow in knowledge beyond merely some words found in a copy of part of the Scriptures called The Bible.
Even Paul, when he spoke at Mars Hill, demonstrated his understanding and grasp of the vast scope of the secular literature of the Greeks. And he was, thus, able to converse with them in a manner that would not have been possible if all he knew was a limited repertoire of Jewish Scripture.
God never intended for us to "hole-up" in some backwoods-focused fundamentalist huddle of isolated believers, quoting antiquated laws to one another out of a black book, in a vain attempt to prove our spirituality to one another.

Willie,
YOU are the one that lacks faith. You trust outside sources more than the Bible, and tell others they lack faith for taking The Bible literally. You are severely misguided and confused. Explain how one that takes The Bible literally lacks faith? Not that you answer questions anyway, and I got a good laugh and a second stomach turn hearing you speak of what God's intentions are.
Here is everything I said in the PM you reference:

pckts,
You said you were in the Military. Did you ever travel anywhere? Are you aware that, if you did so travel, the transportation you used — and how to make the steel, glass, and aluminum it was constructed of....... not to mention the fuel that powered it, is mentioned nowhere in the Bible?
It is bordering upon insanity to believe all we ever need to know is contained within the pages of that little book.
Why are you attending a college? From what you said, you don't need it a bit. You could just stay home, reading your Bible. Don't you sense even a little bit of the hypocrisy you espouse?

You only think it's impossible because you are making an assumption based on the face (surface) of it.
Once you learn the moon landing was faked, ISS too, then your assumptions will be proven wrong and your mind will be allowed to go deeper. But you don't want to go deeper because you would have to leave your k-12 education(and whatever else afterwards) and then you will have fringe beliefs you are uncomfortable discussing at the water cooler.
