This is a tortoise forum....but I couldn't resist squashing such blatant ignorance.

The suns diameter is 864,938 miles.

If the sun was shrinking by 5 feet per hour....
(5 x 24 )Feet times hours per day.

Feet per day by days per year
That would equal 120 feet per day. ( 120 x 356 )

That would equal 43,800 feet per year. Dividing feet by miles ( 43,800 / 5280 ) equals about 8.65

That means the sun is shrinking by more than 8.65 miles per year.

So, taking 8.65 miles and miltiplying it by 1000 equals 865,000.
That means the sun will be completely gone in 1000 years.

That also means we'll be an ice planet in 200 years.

Did the scientist who determined that the sun was shrinking a the rate of 5 feet per hour also write the so called bible? Or was the 5 feet per hour mentioned somewhere in this book?

Or are we using scientists words when they are convenient and then denying them when it's inconvenient?

Please...stick to the tortoise forum.
