Scientific ACCURACIES in the Bible

[Drich]

Perhaps the problem is Mr. Loftus was looking up the wrong word. The Word acconding to Strong Concordance is:chuwg
Gesenius's Lexicon defines it as Circle, Sphere, Compass/Use of the Arch or vault of the Sky.

As for 'chug' I guess it can mean anything Mr.loftus wanted it to mean.

Gesenius's Lexicon

Still doesn't mean oblate spheroid, does it, Drich? Knowing the shape of the earth shouldn't be a big stretch for god, seeming as you believe he created the bloody thing.

Also, you ignore the section in the link titled "Biblical usage". It does not say sphere in there, so your point is irrelevant.

So who was the OT written to? This generation or the last who coined the term 'oblate Spheroid' and assigned it to describe the Earth's shape? Or men who lived 2500 years ago? Would it stand to reason that if God had Isaiha use words that would alienate men for 2500 years, that a great majority would be lost that did not have to be? Wouldn't it be more sensable for a more mordern man make the jump in understanding that one lived 2500 years ago could not?
