Knight isn't talking about different times of the year, Dave, he's talking about different times of the day. Big difference.
Dave, everything is moving through space, the sun, the moon, AND the earth. Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?
No, the earth is moving around a mobile sun.
It is not.
That's probably the smartest thing you've said yet. Yes, in relation to the planets orbiting it, the sun is stationary. But in relation to the center of the galaxy, the sun is moving (and quite fast, too).
No, they don't Dave. Your making your argument off of an illusion that has been clearly explained already.

You're the one denying geometry, Dave.
I assure you that every equation that has ever been discovered (which are remarkably simple, by the way) can be verified and tested. Is that not how most science is done, by using equations that describe the physical laws? Can we not know anything about our universe based on the laws we discover?
Dave, you're making people out to be less intelligent than they really are.
If someone would simply apply themselves, they could learn quite a bit about how our universe works.
No, Dave, because it's not just our senses that we must use. We also have a mind to think, and reason, and comprehend something that at first might not make sense, but after studying it for a while we can comprehend how it works.
Let's take an old wind-up pocket watch, for example.
When you look at the watch, you can clearly see that it was designed, and functions as it should; you can tell the time, see the second hand moving, but it appears that the minute hand and hour hand are not moving, however, upon closer inspection, and focus, you can see that the minute hand is in fact moving, but it's motion is not as perceptible as the second hand's motion. You then turn your attention to the hour hand, which appears motionless, but you note it's position on the watch face, and sure enough, when you come back to it an hour later, the hand has moved 1/12th of the way around the face. You have verified it's movement, even though you didn't watch (no pun intended) the hand move to that position.
You then decide to figure out how the watch works, so you pry open the back of it, and taking careful note of where each gear and spring is, you slowly take the first gear out... and the watch stops working, you can no longer hear the
tick...tick...tick of the second hand. You turn it over, and sure enough, the second hand and the minute hand have stopped moving, and just to verify, you put the watch down and come back an hour later to find that the hour hand has stopped moving as well.
You proceed to take out the pieces of the watch; gears, springs, screws, eventually all of the pieces lay on the table in front of you. You start to try to put things together, to see if they function together, or if they are incompatible, and discover that some parts are incompatible with others, yet they all came from the same watch, and you know you didn't lose or gain any pieces, and you know the watch was working prior to your disassembling of it, so you wonder why they aren't compatible.
Dave, This is exactly what you have done when it comes to how the universe God created functions. You've taken the universe apart and tried to put two completely incompatible parts of it together that don't go together, and then you complain that they don't function. You've taken God's watch apart, and tried to put it back together the wrong way, and then you wonder why it doesn't work like it did before.
You're trying to put the pieces of His watch back together the wrong way, when there's equations that determine how each part functions and fits together to make a working universe. When you ignore those equations, or even outright reject them, then you are left with a bunch of parts that don't make any sense at all, even though you know they they must fit together somehow to make a working timepiece.
