RE: Evolution, Creationism and Flat Earth Cosmology

in #evolution7 years ago (edited)

Well it does: https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/febible.htm

I understand why you'd be disinclined to believe that however. Flat Earth cosmology is something you can understand is definitely not true. But you believe Christianity is true.

So anything in scripture which is now possible to definitively disprove, you will naturally think must mean something other than what it plainly appears to.

That doesn't necessarily follow. The other possibility is that it actually is wrong about some things, such as cosmology and the shape of the Earth. You don't seem to allow for this to be the case, taking a "The Bible is correct no matter what" position that no amount of contrary evidence can change.

It's wrong about the origins of life as well, though you've not yet figured that out. Moderate, evolution accepting Christians see you the same way you see flat earthers: an embarrassment to their religion who takes the Bible too literally.

That's not to say you ought to feel bad about this or that, just realize that Christians exist who accept evolution, and regard creationism as taking literalism too far, just the same way you regard flat earthism.

Watch the sunset tonight on the ocean or a flat plane while sitting down.. as it sets stand up again and watch it set again :) There are so many problems with your hypothesis its not funny. The Bible does use metaphors and other figures of speech. Thus it talks about the four corners of the earth. Do you claim that the earth is a flat square? :)

No, the Bible does. Is God also simply a metaphor?
