The bible describes it as a circle, not a sphere. Kinda like a pancake
English

Edited by SSG ACM: 5/7/2015 4:53:36 AMPretty good observation. If God said "sphere" to humans before geometry was invented, how do you think the humans would have taken it? So of course it is stated that the earth is a "circle," and even after that statement non-believers assumed the earth was flat. What if God told you that the earth was "[i]ADpflenxor[/i]?" You wouldn't understand the statement at all. Are you under the assumption that mankind knew every descriptive term back then? Everyone was already in a state of remaining primitive.

ge·om·e·try jēˈämətrē/Submit noun the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, solids, and higher dimensional analogs. a particular system of geometry. plural noun: geometries "non-Euclidean geometries" the shape and relative arrangement of the parts of something. "the geometry of spiders' webs" Pretty sure that has nothing to do with interpreting a sphere. Your argument makes no sense. [quote]If God said "sphere" to humans before geometry was invented, how do you think the humans would have taken it? [/quote] You start with this. So basically people didn't know what shapes are because "geometry" hasn't been invented. Then you say this. [quote]So of course it is stated that the earth is a "circle,"[/quote] If people didn't understand shapes like you said, then telling them it's a circle wouldn't mean anything to them either! That would also just sound like gibberish to them by your own -blam!-ing logic.

Even if you didn't take math class genius, you know what distinctive shapes are. And what's wrong with using geometry?
-
Geometry has nothing to do with spheres, you would know what a ball is whether or not you knew how to prove that 2 angles are congruent by the transitive property of congruence.

Elementary: Google "the study of shapes."

I guess you missed my definition.

I guess you so heavily depend on the importance of semantics. No matter, it doesn't debunk the original point.

Edited by Jack: 5/7/2015 11:11:05 PMIt really doesn't matter that your argument is completely illogical. Either way according to your book, the almighty creator gave us false information about to shape of the planet we live on. It doesn't matter that we weren't according to you "ready for spheres". He's all powerful, yet he couldn't tell us that the Earth was more or less shaped like a ball. Even though that is still false because it isn't perfectly round. It doesn't debunk your "original point" because you had no point in the first place. Your entire argument is based off of what shapes people could understand back in the day. Even though the ancient greeks were thriving hundreds of years before Christ, and they understood round objects perfectly fine.

[quote]It really doesn't matter...[/quote]Why?[quote]...that your argument is completely illogical.[/quote]Why? I think you meant to say "since" instead of "that." Correct?[quote]Either way according to your book, the almighty creator gave us false information about to shape of the planet we live on.[/quote]This statement show how much the replier depends on specifics.[quote]It doesn't matter that we weren't according to you "ready for spheres".

Go study geology and topography.[quote]It doesn't debunk your "original point."[/quote]Fixed and agreed.[quote]Your entire argument is based off of what shapes people could understand back in the day.[/quote]Baka. The entire argument has nothing to do with evolution or the OP. I'm talking about the authenticity of the Bible's knowledge to so conveniently surpass first century information. If you can't understand it or acknowledge the fact, you are blatantly acting as who one who is deciding to be an idiot to free information.[quote]Even though the ancient greeks were thriving hundreds of years before Christ...[/quote]Well a good thing that the Bible was being written 4000 years prior to Christ's coming genius.[quote]...and they understood round objects perfectly fine.[/quote]Agreed. At least there's something on here we can agree about. Oh, and they still assumed the earth was flat. Idiots...
