First to describe the Earth as flat? Was this intentional or just a typo?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

As far as we know,learned people have never considered the earth to be flat. The reality was probably observed by a Babylonian astrologer about 1000 bce. By the time of Hellenistic Greece, it seems to have been universally accepted that world was a sphere. As for who proved the fact empirically, nobody knows. Some would claim Ferdinand Magellan in 1519. My money is on Zheng He (1371-1433) 
Quran also predict troll first.
Trying to update my sig ...
The Koran (or more appropriately it's authors) made no discoveries whatsoever. It amazes the shit out of me that text is viewed as a veritable book of shadows, an actual thing capable of magic and miracles. Next?

I wouldn't put much faith in Zakir Naik if I were you. Nothing of what he says is true, nor even based on truth. He was banned from entering the UK in 2010 for his "unacceptable behaviour". RationalWiki has this, dismissively short, article about him: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Zakir_Naik
In case anyone accuses me of posting only biased sources, here's another and much more comprehensive smackdown from a very religious organisation, who describe Naik as "a remarkable memory drive but has sloppy logic, a penchant for half-truths, and dangerously extremist views": http://www.unchangingword.com/naik_refuted.php

Um, the Greeks knew the earth was spherical about a thousand years before the Qu'ran was written.

It's a myth that learned people thought the earth was flat for at LEAST 3000 years. Who knows when say the Egyptians,Chinese or Indians worked that out? Try this; go into the country,many miles from any city ,town and pollution,preferably a dessert. Look at a full moon. You will see a SPHERE with the naked eye. Perfectly reasonable to conclude the earth is also a sphere. |
