You see, the earth is infinitlly large. We live on it centrally. The part that we live on rocks a little, because it is surrounded by water, within a cradle. On the outside of this cradle, the earth extends horizontally to the sky line and this part of the earth does not move at all. The part that we live on also rocks because of the source of heat which is directly underneath us. Heat rises, everybody knows this.

Now this part which we live on is also infinitly large and deep. Sort of like an earth within an earth. Now only God could have made such a large section of earth to rock so slightly and perfectly in order to cause the tides. Measure all the tides at the same time for 10 days and you will have a good idea of the movement of the earth. Don't forget, tides are not increases or rising water, they are a rocking firmament, within the earth :!:. It is not necessarilly rocking left and right only though, its' rocking pattern will be determined by the gathered measurements after 10 days of measurements. :roll:
We were given a firmament to live on because in the beginning "the earth was void" :shock: , gaseous, and liquid. There was nothing to stand upon without sinking or falling into deepnessee aaaaaaahhhhhh :cry: for ever and ever. So let's thank God for the Firmament :!: :lol: [emoticon thanking God] And don't think that I am only talking to emoticons. :evil:
