I think most members know my love and devotion to God's Word. How I have studied it and studied it, read it, in many versions and the original languages. But prove flat earth is wrong?
First, the Bible is not a science text book. Of course, everything it says on science is correct. But, the way certain ignorant disaffected people pull verses out of context to support completely untenable positions boogles the mind!
The Bible NEVER says the earth is flat. The ancients were not stupid, and God told them the truth about everything. All these sketchy verses, pulled out of context to prove nothing. I honestly don't have the time of day to waste on refuting these crazy obsessions. I do not believe they should be allowed on CC, unless they are in a separate forum, called the conspiracy forum, where I do not go.
I will say, God is not against science, or knowing the truth about our world. Too many people a given a call to study our world, and to understand it. No, science is not inspired, but the scientific community has set many rules up, statistics, peer reviewed journals to avoid fanciful hypotheses like these from becoming part of the greater scientic volume of knowledge.
Now, I realize there are issues in areas like creation vs evolution. To me, the evolution hypothesis has been thoroughly debunked by biochemists and anthropologists and others specialist. And of course, there is lots of kick back, because in this case, a lot hinges on the outcome of this debate. Which is why atheists fight dirty and fight hard against the work done in fields like Intelligent Design.
But flat earth!? Sounds like the Medieval ages have returned, and ignorance is reigning.
