Your gripping, reaching and running from logic. Once again... what is your exlination... for their explination of ships going over the horizen? Nothing... they just magically ignored it? Nobody went "Hey that's weird... it looks like the boat is sinking... then rising out of the ocean. Lets never ask the sailors if they actually went under water! DHUR!" |
You are a complete idiot, and I'm not going to try and stop you from being one. Read up on history if you want to know what ancient people believed and why they believed it. Egypt and Mesopotamia, the Hebrews largest and most influential neighbors, thought the Eearth was flat, and suprise thats what the Hebrews though. Also, it is horribly stupid to try to use today's hindsight to change what ancients believed when their own writings clearly state what they believed.
I don't know exactly why they thought the Earth was flat, I guess you'll have to ask a pharoah this question when you die and go to your imaginary wonderland, but it probably have something to do with not understanding gravity and thinking that you couldnt stand on the side a wall.
