You do realize that ancient Hebrew didn't even have quotation marks, don't you?
No, I didn't know that. But then you don't need quotation marks to describe the shape of the earth. You just need a word for sphere, which they had.
These weren't scientists........they were holy men, to whom "sphere" and "circle" were synonyms.
Again, in Hebrew, as in English, they are different words, with different meanings. If they didn't know the difference, how do you know they meant sphere and not circle? Aye, there's the rub. Let me get this straight. You claim:
- these holy men, God inspired and all, wrote
circle- but they meant
sphere- and
sphere miraculously predicts scientific discoveries of centuries later.
Now why do I have a hard time believing this?
And finally, from another post:
I've never heard anyone claim the location of the source of those four rivers as anywhere but North Africa.
Have you tried looking Euphrates and Tigris up in an atlas?
