[quote=DarkwolfX37] Okay, no. You don't get to pull that. If it meant that, it would say it. ^Tell me exactly where in this or in the bible at all it ever once mentions the earth orbiting anything. ^Earth is flat, and never moves, apparently.^Astronomical bodies are spherical, and you cannot see the entire exterior surface from any place. The kingdoms of Egypt, China, Greece, Crete, sections of Asia Minor, India, Maya (in Mexico), Carthage (North Africa), Rome (Italy), Korea, and other settlements from these kingdoms of the world were widely distributed. Metaphorical? Then the bible is not literal about satan and so should not be taken seriously in regards to him. What's the bout an orbit?So apparently the earth has edges now?"> There is one verse in the OT, however, which has often been cited at least by laymen as a proof that the earth was understood to be a globe. I refer to Isaiah 40:22 which speaks of God as the One sitting above the circle of the earth. This verse does imply that the earth is circular, but there is nothing either in the underlying Hebrew word (hug) or in the context which necessarily implies anything more than the circularity of the flat earth-disc which the historical context and Genesis 1 have given us as the meaning of. If Isaiah had intended to speak of the earth as a globe, he would probably have used the word he used in 22:18 (dur), meaning 'ball.' " <"Care to explain? [/quote] Dark. I [i]seriously[/i] don't care. If the Bible explicitly said the Earth was flat (it doesn't) I would believe it. But that's irrelevant. It's summer, I'm Legend, and I have no desire to refute.
