Faulty question. Although meetings between Zeus and other Olympian gods with mortals is recounted in stories such as Homer’s Iliad, is that proof of Zeus?

You seriously don't see the problem, with a book stating it was inspired by God, and taking that as evidence of the fact?
So you MUST accept the Qu'ran is inspired by God also yes? On what basis would you dismiss it?

And then of course there's the matter of the book of Job which describes the earth as hanging upon nothing--indicating invisible gravity.It wasn't until the 20th century that astronauts were able to confirm what Moses wrote in the book of Job, that the earth indeed appears to be hanging upon nothing when seen from outer space.
Did they also see that it was completely stationary? Oops........
Now, hebrew has two words, Chug (flat circle like a coin) and Dur (sphere).
Heres some BIBLE for you;
"Also, He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball (Dur) into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house. (Isaiah 22:18) "
Hold on a minute.. Isaiah? It ALSO uses the word for sphere.... but Chug for the world.
So why didn't they use the word Dur for the world, instead went with Chug which is a flat circle like a coin.
I'm breathless with anticipation for your reply.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
