"Absolute hogwash."

Boy it sure is. Just more Biblespeak. Can't the Bible ever say what it means. The Bible's inspired authors "knew" that the earth is a three dimensional sphere but they called it a two dimensional circle. Why are the Bible and God always trying to fool us. God plants dinosauer bones just to fool us. Then the Bible talks about this "sphere" having four corners--don't remember that in solid geometry.

Of course, there is the crazy story about Satan taking Jesus to a high mountain and showing him all the kingdoms of the earth. Amazing, in order for Jesus to see all the kingdoms of the earth, the earth would have to be flat.

What I do not understand is if Christiandom knew the earth was round, why didn't they tell mariners not to fear falling off the earth?
