And that's why the people who are capable of carrying on a discussion of this sort without bickering and trying to prove each other wrong are the ones who major in things like philosophy, English, etc.

Faith is the exact opposite of logic. The two are incompatible. That does not mean that one is superior to the other, because try as you might there is no way to reconcile them and therefore there is no way to make an absolute value judgement on which one is a more correct way of interpreting the world.

Sorry to drag a dead thread... somethings worth reading...
Psalm 93:
The LORD is king, he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed, he is girded with strength. He has established the world; it shall never be moved.
From the Book of Joshua:
"Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hastened not to go down about a whole day." (Joshua, X 12-13).
In the first chapter of Ecclesiastes:
"The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth again." (Ecclesiastes I,5)
In chapter XXXVIII of Isaiah:
"Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down." (Isaiah XXXVIII 8).
