Why do I do this to myself?.....Wisdom of Clashcityrocker: "....It (the sun) wasn't far away because then it would be over the clouds. I can't really explain it, then again I don't have to. I don't subscribe to Dubay's theory of how the sun would orbit the earth......I think the sun is just here to provide light heat and energy for plants to grow. The planets and stars could be spirits. Not sure what the moon is. Maybe a light for nighttime. It's not a place you can land on."
So, you're basically saying if the sun was far away, it would never set or rise. How exactly?
Well, at least you eschew Dubay, that's a start. OK....where is the sun then? How far is it?
As to what the sun is, so you think the sun is here is to provide light for plants. Okay....yes, the sun provides energy and warmth to plants, and every other biological organism on Earth. Are you implying the sun was crafted by an intelligent designer?
Planets and stars could be spirits....I thought you said they are more like spirits, in that you think they are such things. So, maybe they arent? If they are spirits, what are they spirits of? Are they alcoholic spirits?
If the moon was a light for the night-time, then why do we have moon phases? The moon even disappears during its new moon phase. That's not particularly effective as a nightlight.
I think the key phrase here is "I can't explain it, then again I don't have to". In that case, your claims can be dismissed.
