Care to point me in the direction of a highlights reel? The earth being a sphere has been believed by other cultures (and sometimes by cultures that previously believed it was a turtle) throughout history. Not that any of them had any actual idea what the shape of the earth was, but, a broken clock is wrong twice a day.
When you thought it was wrong you all lined up and pointed to your 'translations' to dance around what you thought was a slain giant. Now that the bible is proven to be not wrong it's a broken clock.
Here is a simple principle for you. If you do not want to believe in God then simply don't. Stand on your own authority and simply say I do not want to belive in God and it is my choice that I don't. And Just leave it at that. You don't need a reason. Reasons are the beginning of a defense. If there is no God what is their to defend?
So one reference in one lexicon counts as proven does it? I now see why you think it is rational to believe in god.
