However, the concept of the world being Spherical shaped is mentioned in the Quran over 1400 years ago. Who could have known this back than?
This I'm afraid is a myth. Scholars have been well aware that the Earth is spherical long, long before the Qur'an was even thought about.
I'm nothing special to comment on this. I just wonder if it wasn't it people during the 19th who believed that people during 16th century, and backwards, thought that the world was flat?
- Science is not trying to create an answer like religion, it tries to find an answer.
