Question: “If, according to the Bible, Earth was created before the Sun and the Moon, what kept it in its orbit and what was it orbiting around?”
Andy Whiddon answered this question effectively by clarifying the nature of the Creator’s activity on Day 4 as contrasted to Day 1. [Disclaimer: The Young Biosphere Creation model, however, interprets “let there be light” as referring to the thinning of the atmosphere to allow more light to reach Earth.]
