Psalm 19:5-6 contains several interesting scientific facts. In speaking of the Sun, the psalmist suggested that “his going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.” For years, Bible critics scoffed at Bible believers, stating that this verse taught the false concept of geocentricity (i.e., the Sun revolves around the Earth). Then it was discovered that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of our solar system. People subsequently felt that the Sun was stationary, with the Earth revolving around it. Only fairly recently has it been discovered that rather than being fixed in space, the Sun actually is in an orbit of its own. In fact, it is estimated to be moving through space at the rate of 600,000 miles per hour, in an orbit so large it would take approximately 220,000,000 years to complete just one orbit. How did the psalmist portray such accurate statements—when people of this day, and for centuries afterward, taught that just the opposite was true? And, by the way, there is another gem packed away in these two verses. The psalmist hinted at the fact that the Sun is the source of energy for the Earth (“and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof”). An amazing statement, is it not, considering when it was written, and by whom?

Creation Faith Facts 
Pardon my ignorance to these scientific matters, but I’ve been looking at clips and articles stating that the sun does not rise and set , it’s an illusion as it’s the earths spinning that creates the illusion .They say the sun is near still .However I do understand that the sun is moving at great speed …Im confused

It’s true the sun doesn’t move around the earth, earth orbits the sun and its apparent “rising and setting” are due to earth’s changing relative position. The point of the article though, was that the sun DOES move and have its own orbit (a MUCH larger/slower one). Thanks for your interest an comment

I was looking for explanation for this verse and oh boy you’re in for it if this is the best excuses you all can come up with. The ending is especially pitful, you don’t think ancient people could deduce the sun radiating heat simply by observing that day is warmer than night?
