A:Perhaps The Bible does not exactly say that the sun moves around the earth, but what it does say implies that to have been the belief of the ancient authors:
  • Genesis 1:16-18 says that God made the sun and the moon and placed them in the firmament just above the earth, to rule over the day and night. Genesis 1:6 told us that the firmament was placed between the waters above and the waters below, so there is no possibility of the sun being more than a great light attached to the earth.
  • Joshua 10:13 says that the sun and moon stood still at Joshua's command until the Israelites had killed all the Amorites.
  • The Apocryphal book, Ecclesiaticus, talks of the sun going backwards at 46:4 and 48:23.

What evidence shows that the Earth orbits the Sun?

Here is one: You can observe that the position of the Sun amongst the stars changes. So either the entire sky with all the stars moves around us, the Sun moves around the Earth, or the Earth moves around the Sun. Assuming that it is Earth that moves around the Sun is the simplest of the assumptions (in the older, geocentric, model, the other planets had complicated orbits around the Earth).
