Quote:jupitor Wrote: The whole of the truth of the prophets is wiped out in revelations when God says he will send Satan to the four corners of the earth; there aren't any corners its a globe and God would know that if he created the universe. There are no corners on a football. I reckon the prophets were lying or deluded that God was speaking to them
To add insult to injury:
The Torah wasn't written down until the mid to late seventh century bce at the earliest. By that time, the Greeks were well aware the earth is roundish. It is not unreasonable to assume the literate Chinese and Indians were also aware.
The level of sophistication about the physical world absent from the Torah ( and Qur'an) reveals a great deal about the individuals and the society which developed that mythology.
