So in scripture, there is an implication that the sun orbits the earth, but this is because the writers did not have as full a concept of the heavens as we do today. Surely people in several millenniums from now would say the same about us.
But surely you are referrring to holy writ, not a collection of goatherders' myths and fables, aren't you? Surely the creator of the universe could inspire the scribe of the bible to accurately describe the reality of the solar system rather than repeat the false impression which one would obtain in the absence of scientific thinking.
