THE BIBLE: God’s Word or Man’s?

[Reforged]

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. How could Isaiah have known that the earth is circular, considering that the writing of the book of Isaiah was completed in 732 B.C.E. and Christopher Columbus did not make his first journey across the Atlantic until 1492 AD/CE or 2,224 years AFTER Isaiah wrote that the earth is a circle?[/color]

2. How did Job know that the earth hangs upon nothing--indicating gravity--considering that the book of Job was completed in 1473 B.C.E. and it wasn't until 1687 AD/CE that Isaac Newton published his theory about gravitational forces--3,160 years AFTER Moses wrote that the earth hangs upon nothing?[/color]

3. Where did Isaiah and Moses get this info?[/color]

1. The earth is not circular as Isiah says, it is spherical. He could of said it was round and that would of been accurate, he did not. Did he get that flawed analysis from God?
I'd also like to point out that if you look at the horizon you might notice it has a curve to it, you could also look at the sun and the moon while you're at it and go:
"Well maybe the worlds circular... Derp".

2. Gravity is not nothing, it is a force that is measurable and comes into being around objects of significant mass.
A man looking at the sky could easily make the ignorant assumption:
"Well I don't see *anythang*, the earth must hang on nothing... Derp."

3. See replies to one and two...
"Well herpie derpie, derpie de doo".
