Which works if you think all Christians believe God is a guy sitting on a chair on the moon.
Quote:Or, if you hold that it was the word transcribed by not very educated people thousands of years ago, they may have done the best they could to try and put advanced concepts into terms people would understand. Like 'hey, guys, the Earth is a circle hanging in the sky.' You can take that as a loose explanation for the time, or giggle and say they meant it was literally a disc on a string.I'm not giggling, but there are many who believe in a literal, inerrant interpretation of the Bible. Also, the Bible is the inspired word of God, not the word of man. Those writing the Bible were possessed with the Holy Spirit so they wrote God's description and not their own. I'm confident God could describe a sphere.
