  • I feel dirty for laughing at that 'dad joke'- "everyone wanted a cushy job". Great vid though.

  • @Parabol0086 I'm such a dork sometimes. Sorry about that.  :)

  • Even if the Bible did state the Earth was a sphere it would still be useless. Aristotle provided physical and observational arguments supporting the idea of a spherical Earth (300 BC). And the idea of knowing the Earth was a circle is also useless because one can just look at the Sun & Moon & conclude "Hey! Our world is also a circle".

  • @JesusACruz64 That and looking at the horizon in all directions gives the impression of standing in the middle of a circle.

  • Early Egyptians and Mesopotamians thought the world was a flat disk floating in the ocean. The Hebrew Bible uses language consistent with this belief:

    "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth"

    - Note, the word circle is used, not sphere.

    "For the foundations of the earth are the LORD's; upon them he has set the world."

    "You shall not make [...] likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

    Haha. Peace mate.

  • I don't know of many christians hanging their faith on whether or not the Bible conforms to science. I think the argument you make is one that you have been taught by alleged philisophical scholars. You haven't uncovered anything new or profound. Science attempts to explain and repeat what is observable. Its a pointless discussion on either side of the debate. Have a nice day.

  • If it is a fact is literal if it is wrong is a metaphors
