They've had water in buckets and such... and know it lies as "flat" as possible. So they know water can't be "curved." How then do you think they reconciled a "flat" earth, with their ships going over the horizon... and coming back from the horizon? |
What a huge assumption to make. The Hebrews, just like the Babylonians that they got their idea of cosmology from, thought the Earth was flat and put it in their scriptures. They didn't pick up on the circular shadows the Earth cast on the moon, the sea's horizons, the different angles of shadows that the sun cast on Earth, and so forth. It would be a lot easier if they had, but they didn't.
