    The bible is the whole truth, because god wrote it. And if god says so it is so.

    Say the men who believe.

    So you're saying the Bible says the earth is flat? Do know where? Which book and verse?

    You have to be careful what you hear people say about the Bible. There's an awful lot of both ignorance and hate against it.

    I believe knowing is more important than believing.

    Can't you see the big tongue in my cheek?

    Sorry. Tongue-in-cheek and sarcasm don't convey well in text.

    And sadly, I've encountered people that apparently really believe that the Bible says that.

    Welcome to the dark side dys. It's good to see you around. Hope all is going well for you.

    The Earth was flat until the Persians introduced the concept of 'zero', a symbol that has been introduced to encompass the concept of nothing. By this act all of western society crumbled and is the basis for all present military actions in the middle east.

    If you have a zero in the denominator you end up with what is called a pole. The function explodes to infinity. So without a zero symbol or concept there was also no concept of infinity. Prior to the invention of zero the earth could be considered flat. The introduction of zero caused the flat plane to wrap around and become spherical.

    In the s-plane (imaginary vertical axis, real horizontal axis) events on the unit circle are stable. They stay there forever. Events closer to the origin will decay to that origin over time in an exponential fashion. Events outside the unit circle will propagate to infinity ... again ... exponentially. Analyzing systems using these concepts was not possible until zero is available as a symbol. A spherical analogy to the unit circle follows logically.

    Using a system of Arabic numbers doesn't make you Arabic. Using zero doesn't make you Persian. Using both might just make you confused.

    Using gold and silver to form contracts leads to a flat earth. Using fiat money leads to a spherical earth. You get to decide which system works for you.

    Here's a few which clearly state the earth is NOT a "spinning ball"

    1) The phrase UNDER THE SUN appears 27 times in the book of Ecclesiastes
    Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
    If the earth is UNDER the Sun it's NOT 93,000,000 miles AWAY from the earth with the earth spinning around it. NO WAY!!

    2) Deuteronomy 13:7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

    the earth has ENDS, Balls (spinning) do NOT have ENDS!!


    3) Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
    Numbers 12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
    the earth has a FACE, Balls do not have a FACE!!!

    4) The earth is NOT moving (spinning) or shuffling through some star wars "universe" (ala hellywood/NASA fakery) it is sitting STILL

    Zechariah 1:11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.

    5)
    heaven is ABOVE the earth, thus you have a clear description that heaven is ABOVE and earth is BENEATH, not a spinning ball hurling through "space"

    Deuteronomy 4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

    I don't have the time to do this right now, but the most convincing arguments for me are Scriptures related to the immovability for the Earth.
    1 Chronicles 16:30: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable." Psalm 93:1: "Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ..." Psalm 96:10: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ..."
    Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. <br />And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.<br />Mark 16-17

    That is more geocentrism than flatearthism, which got Galileo in trouble with the church 500 years ago, when he had the misfortune of studying the universe through a telescope...
