Re: Religion and Truth.
the hebrew word for circle here is "khoog" and it means "circle"!!!
why are you turning it into a disc???
Cause a disc is a round 2D object, much like a circle.

Re: Religion and Truth.
So are you saying that a sphere does not have the shape of a circle???
No a sphere has the shape of a sphere.
Just because the word circle is used instead of sphere does not denote the meaning disc.
Arach is really the guy for this but I believe he's posted that the hebrew had a word for "ball" at the time of the writing of genesis. If they knew that the earth was a sphere why didn't they use the word for ball? why use a word that best describes a 2D object when they have one that is more appropriate. And also as anglagard said, the Earth isn't a sphere it's an oblate spheriod, a little flatter on top and little fatter at the middle than a perfect sphere.

Try naming your twice removed past generation's family tree
The Lord of the Rings has appendices with quite extensive geneaologies, are they the truth?
Try naming your twice removed past generation's family tree, with names, places, dob's and dod's - and it becomes a point of astonishment: it is not possible even with today's computerised archiving facilities.
Shit I have my family tree traced all the way back to Odin the Allfather, the geneologies presented in christian mythology are nothing special.

Names are scientifically provable of its historical authenticity of time and place
So you're saying that because the names used are correct for the period and area these named people actually existed?
but in fact one of the strongest proofs of ancient writings' veracity.
How so? The names may be correct for the time and area but how does that prove that the writing is true? If I write a story about england in the 1500s and all the character names are correct for that time period and area does that mean that these people actually existed? Does my story become fact just because I used the right names?
