[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 208867, member: 8657"] [COLOR=black]In the Old Testament; Isaiah 40:22 "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth." The original Hebrew for circle is "sphercity or roundness." Luke 17:30 -36 "It will be just like this on the day…" "…on that night". "Day" and "night" referring to the same hour and event - only possible on a sphere. The idea of a spherical earth was also well accepted in Greek society. Aristotle (384-322 BC) refers "old" knowledge - A circular shadow projected by Earth when it eclipses Moon. And how about Isaac Newton and his thoughts on gravity? When you drop a pencil, it lands on the floor, not on the ceiling. When a UPSer tries to pick up heavy package, he has to use force to pick it up... After that, Einstein also blew the Ether theory out of the water with his Theory of Relativity which holds that light travels at constant velocity regardless of the speed of its source. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]The universe is teeming with spheres; a marble, a basketball, a balloon, the sun, the earth. The earth is a variety of spheres - the rock sphere that you stand on, the water sphere (oceans, rivers, lakes), the biosphere (all things living),[/COLOR] the atmosphere, and our celestial spheres (heavenly bodies). And there must be a reasonable explanation for one of NASA's many photographs - [URL]http://veimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/2429/globe_east_540.jpg[/URL] [/QUOTE]
