Pascal's Wager (the new version)

[Question Mark]

A spherical earth had been postulated as early as that, and became generally accepted by the 3rd century BCE, and then disseminated by the end of antiquity. The claim that people believed the earth was flat is a popular myth based on the fact that the earth was not shown practically to have been spherical until the beginning of the modern era, in the 1500's I believe.
A spherical earth had been calculated long before the Qu'ran was written.

Spot on! And to think we're supposed to believe from these fundies that we need a god to tell us things we can derive on our own...

They're so sure of it though. It's difficult to phrase things in opposition sometimes when they speak things with as much conviction as they do. "God does exist, I don't know how you guys can't see it".
You can tell them the obvious, of course, that there's no proof, and that personal experiences don't count, but then they just shrug it off and come back with something like "You just don't want to see it".

That's what makes me irritable, you know, when their method fails and they resort to saying we're being disingenuous.
They do the same with this stuff. "We couldn't possibly have known the world was spherical back then, you're just twisting the facts."

It's rather galling.
