The Bible says the Earth was flat, an idea the Hebrews borrowed from the earliest Babylonian myths. The Catholic Church pushed this idea because of references Jesus made about a flat Earth, which is why people assume all ancients though this. To the contrary, the ancients had known for a long time that the Earth was round from the shadow it cast on the moon and the way sailors see objects on the horizon. Eratosthenes even measured the diameter of the Earth centuries before Jesus was born. |
Is that so? Show me where in the Bible it says this, because I guarantee that nowhere does it say "the Earth is flat."
