Undo revision 1295569 by SamHB (talk) The paragraph speculates if the Bible uses words such as "sunrise" or "sunset" because its coverage of scientific knowledge is faulty.
== Scripture Quoted to justify Geocentric Theory ==
== Scripture Quoted to justify Geocentric Theory ==
A few [[Bible]] quotes use geocentric terms, which isn't surprising considering the state of scientific knowledge in the ancient world. While some people attempt to use these quotes to discredit the Bible's veracity on scientific subjects, others dispute this usage, claiming that the usage of the terms is similar to the way people today use terms like "sunrise" and "sunset". In this account, the terminology is not wrong, but merely reflects the observer's view.<ref>Faulkner, Danny R. (August 1, 2001).
