Genesis 1 says God placed the sun and moon and stars in the firmament, which is below the upper layer of waters. That means they are local. The ancient mariners, whose success and survival depended upon their expertise in the heavenly bodies, and their use of the sextant and astrolabe, declared that both the sun and the moon are 32 nautical miles wide. Our own eyes confirm this, like this view from an airplane cockpit. Also, there are a myriad videos and photographs of both the sun and the moon passing in front of clouds. The apostle Paul's word about the opposition of science so called has never been more appropriate than now.
