Do Christians believe that the Earth is flat, that it does not move and that it rests on stone pillars? Do Christians believe that the flat Earth is somehow both shaped like a circle and has four corners? Do Christians believe that the sun and the moon orbit around the Earth, and that the sun can be stopped in its tracks – even made to go backwards? All of these claims are found in the Bible; do Christians believe in the Bible? If the Earth is roughly a sphere, as the evidence suggests, then it is not possible to observe all of its surface at the same time. Since the Earth is not transparent, it is also not possible for all those on its surface to directly observe the same sight at the same time. But if the Earth is flat, as claimed by the Bible, then everyone on its surface can be observed from a single vantage point and everyone on its surface can directly observe the same sight at the same time. The Bible claims all the Earth can be seen at once, a condition that could only occur if the Earth were flat. Modern science demonstrates that all claims of a flat, motionless Earth are false. But it doesn’t take modern science to reach this conclusion. Eratosthenes reached the same conclusion by observing the shadow cast down two wells at noon in two locations – over two thousand years ago. The Bible is not worth the paper it is printed on when it comes to describing the real world we all live in.
