I figure this is where I should post the e-mail I got today.

2. The Earth is suspended in nothing

. "He spreads out the northern [skies] over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing" (Job. 26:7, NIV).

Does anybody of you know alternative translations for this verse? I was searching here. Other meanings:

• North: "or tsaphon {tsaw-fone'}; from 'tsaphan' (6845); properly, hidden, i.e. dark; used only of the north as a quarter (gloomy and unknown):--north(-ern, side, -ward, wind)."
  
• And empty place: "from an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), i.e. desert; figuratively, a worthless thing; adverbially, in vain:--confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness."
  
• Hangeth: "a primitive root; to suspend (especially to gibbet):--hang (up)."
  
• Earth: "from an unused root probably meaning to be firm; the earth (at large, or partitively a land):--X common, country, earth, field, ground, land, X natins, way, + wilderness, world."
  
• Nothing: "from 'bliy' (1097) and 'mah' (4100); (as indef.) nothing whatever:--nothing."
  

Only nothing seems quite sure. I guess with the other words a different sentence can be made too.

 

And what does Job. 26:5 mean? "Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof." Is the location of the underworld beneath the waters?

This is just a sampling for you. Care to explain how the greeks would have known this, if God never blessed them with divine knowledge, as you say about your jews?

 

*sniff, sniff* "What the..."

 

Back the holy ghost train up just one minute. This is the Cum Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc; 'with this, therefore because of this' fallacy.

 

If it looks like shit, smells like shit, and tastes like shit, it must be shit.
