If this were strictly true, then Jews/Christians would still believe the Earth is flat and at the centre of the universe, the Hindus would believe the Earth is supported on the backs of elephants standing on the back of a giant turtle, etc.Not sure about that... does the Bible actually mandate a flat earth?
Actually the bible implies multiple times that the earth is round.
Yeah that's what I thought. Thanks for the references.
No problem. And actually here's another one on a somewhat similar train of thought:
Somewhere in Genesis, not sure where, it mentions all the continents being together as one mass of land that then separates. The idea we now call pangea. (sp?) I always found that interesting, especially seeing as they didn't exactly have globes that they could look at and go "Hey, they fit together like a puzzle" back then. Not exactly concrete proof of divine insight, but worth noting nonetheless.
