My point being that as far as that writer was concerned, the Earth was the universe. Your hilarious mis-interpretation regarding the geometry of the universe doesn't even have to be considered, thankfully.(May 28, 2015 at 5:57 am)Tonus Wrote: God must be pretty limited, if the best he could do as a description of the initial expansion of the universe was "stretched the heavens like a tent."The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) completed it's full analysis, 12/20/2012. Determined the universe's shape is flat ("nailed down the curvature of space to within 0.4% of "flat" Euclidean.") which would be 'disk' shaped.
Although it sure sounds like the writer was describing how the sky was really a dome stretched over a flat disc, indicating some very wrong beliefs about how big his universe was, and how it was constructed.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
