We didn't evolve

Because gravity doesn't directly conflict with what is in the bible?

But if Jesus is in Heaven, and Heaven is up above the clouds.. it should be constantly pulled down and sinking because of Earth's gravitational pull!

I'm sorry, but I laughed really hard.

I don't think that the bible ever said that Heaven is above us, did it?  I know that Dante talked about the planets and stars representing circles of heaven, but I'm not sure that he was basing that on anything. 

I'm curious if the bible really does say that, though?

Thank god you understand satire.

Two things:
One) See above.
Two) I'm pretty sure I said somewhere on the forums that I won't ever read any religious scriptures, and I haven't up to this point yet.  So how the hell would I know?  I was making a joke.

Yeah, but that's something commonly believed by people.  Heaven being above us, and in the clouds, and all that.

From Genesis:
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:9-10

Hmm, I'm not sure if that has the same meaning.  "The heavens" is an old-fashiony name for the sky, I'm not sure if "the heavens" and "Heaven" are considered the same.

 ... Maybe it's spinning fast enough such that the centrifugal force counterbalances the gravitational one?

Even if that was they were purposing, I'm fairly confident almost all of the people who took the survey would have interpreted it on the scale that Darwin purposed it was, because that is how they were taught.

That WAS what they were saying, the survey question was pretty clear.  I don't think you're allowed to assume that everybody who took the survey misunderstood the question, that's gotta be a falacy of some sort....

Whatever.  It doesn't change my original point.
