Okay, people. I think that unless anyone has something strictly
language-related to add, this thread as run its course.
Thank y'all,

And JP van de Giessen responded
There is no proof for this. On the other hand, the rotation of the earth,the
rotation of the earth and moon, and the rotation of the earth around thesun
is very stable. There are too many ancient sources which proofs there wasno
significant change in any of the above mentioned rotations.
JP, I'm sure Ben knows there is no proof of his statement but because of his
religious faith he doesn't need any. There's very little point in trying to
counter religious arguments with scientific ones. Its like telling a dog it
should act like a cat.
