Can someone tell me where the pillars supporting the Earth are?

In Job 9:6 it say "He shakes the Earth out of its place, and its pillars shake.



I've looked at a lot of pictures of the Earth taken from orbiting satellites, and various space craft but have failed to see them each time. Where are they, the bible says their there.Can someone tell me where the pillars supporting the Earth are?
Actually I was expecting the earth to be held on the shoulders of the god Atlas!Can someone tell me where the pillars supporting the Earth are?
You're looking at the wrong pictures. Just google "discworld" and you'll see them. All four of them, standing proudly atop the shell of A'tuin.Can someone tell me where the pillars supporting the Earth are?
I don't think those exist either...



It's like me asking for butterbeer from harry potter, I suppose; both are fake.
Qurans says that the earth is supported by the mountains and this is proved by science.

A book entitled Earth is a basic reference textbook in many universities around the world. One of its two authors is Professor Emeritus Frank Press. He was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC. His book says that mountains have underlying roots. These roots are deeply embedded in the ground, thus, mountains have a shape like a peg.

This is how the Quran has described mountains. God has said in the Quran:



Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs? (Quran, 78:6-7)



Modern earth sciences have proven that mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground (see figure 9) and that these roots can reach several times their elevations above the surface of the ground.2 So the most suitable word to describe mountains on the basis of this information is the word 鈥榩eg,鈥?since most of a properly set peg is hidden under the surface of the ground. The history of science tells us that the theory of mountains having deep roots was introduced only in the latter half of the nineteenth century.3



Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth. They hinder the shaking of the earth. God has said in the Quran:



And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you... (Quran, 16:15)



Likewise, the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960鈥檚.
