After that, Danny tells us about the Firmament, which Wikipedia (citing the bible) describes as a “vast solid dome created by God on the second day” which sits over the Earth and contains the stars. The bible makes it very clear that The Earth Is Flat. This is a strange post to find at a creationist website. We call these two points the celestial poles. In the conventional cosmology, these two points are the extension of the earth’s rotation axis to where it intersects the celestial sphere. There are two diametrically opposite points on the celestial sphere around which all astronomical objects spin once a day. Since most celestial objects rise and set, it is easy to understand that what we see at any given time is just one half of a celestial sphere. The sky appears as a dome above one’s location. Even long exposure photographs and time-lapse videos seem to show this too. That is the impression one gets by watching the sky over several hours. One of these false claims is that Polaris remains motionless in the sky as all other stars circle it. They say he has a PhD in astronomy from Indiana University, and he “works as a researcher, author, and speaker for Answers in Genesis.” Impressive!

The post we’re writing about today is titled Does the North Star (Polaris) Prove the Earth Is Flat? Thia one was found at Answers in Genesis (AIG), the creationist ministry of Ken Ham (ol’ Hambo) - the ayatollah of Appalachia, the world’s holiest man who knows more about religion and science than everyone else.
