Quoting myself from another thread:
Quote:
...the Bible repeatedly, if indirectly, implies that everything in the sky revolves around Earth. Ecclesiastes 1:5, Joshua 10:12 & 10:13, First book of Chronicles 16:30
... The Crystal Spheres view is not a Christian, but a Ptolemaic (Ancient Greek) model. But Genesis 1:6 says that the sky is a dome, and Genesis 1:14-1:16 says God put lights in the dome, including stars.

Joshua is the one about the Sun "standing still in the sky". 1 Chronicles: "Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved."
