Oh, come now. You don't need to betray your lack of an argument with ad hom attacks, GC.

Besides, I gain great pleasure from argumentation.
Quote:Do you really believe that after watching the moon go through it's waxing and waning that they would believe it was flat.
Yep. Given that it's what they've written down. I mean, there's a part where Satan takes Jesus up to the top of a mountain and shows him all the kingdoms of the earth, so...
And actually, I don't really care what they believed, because it wouldn't matter anyway. The ancient greeks knew the earth was round long before the bible was even written, and they figured it out from watching ships dip over the horizon. It's cool, but you don't really need a god to figure it out. Seems funny, then, that the dudes writing the bible kept making statements of a decidedly two dimensional nature.

Also, I like that you made this argument apropos of nothing; what does it matter what I believe about some ancient prophets thoughts about the moon waxing and waning? It matters what they thought, and happily they wrote it all down.
