Scientific ACCURACIES in the Bible

Isaiah 40:21-24 (MSG) | Whole Chapter
21-24Have you not been paying attention?
Have you not been listening?
Haven't you heard these stories all your life?
Don't you understand the foundation of all things?
God sits high above the circle of earth.
The people look like mere ants.
He stretches out the skies like a canvas—
yes, like a tent canvas to live under.
He ignores what all the princes say and do.
The rulers of the earth count for nothing.
Princes and rulers don't amount to much.
Like seeds barely rooted, just sprouted,
They shrivel when God blows on them.
Like flecks of chaff, they're gone with the wind.

Again this points to God's power, position and authority. this passage was not written as a science lesson, but as an acknoweledgement to an all Mighty God. If you adhear to the context of the passage in question and not your selection of one word, and how that word can be interpereted in the english, (effectivly ignoring the hebrew) this discussion if effectivly over.

Many Christians point to that passage as a claim that the Bible says the earth is spherical. I have no problem with your more reasonable (and more in context) interpretation, I just wish more Christians saw it your way. If they didn't try to make the Bible a science book, these discussions would be short.
