Unfortunately, many well-meaning Christians fall for this theory. This is largely due to the influence of social media. Does The Bible Teach That The Earth Is Flatįlat Earth Theory support has grown rapidly. The precise number depends on howgood ones vision is.
The totalnumber of stars that can be distinctly seen with the unaided eye is around10,000. 5 Of course, thereare many more stars than this number. 4 Many astronomersbelieved that these were the only stars that existed,even though Ptolemy never claimed thathis catalogue was exhaustive. The astronomer ClaudiusPtolemy cataloged 1,022 stars inhis work The Almagest. It was not always believed that the starswere so numerous. Interestingly, thetwo quantities come out to about the sameorder of magnitude: 1022, or ten billiontrillion, give or take a factor of ten or so. Clearly the sand of the sea andthe stars in the universe cannot be countedexactly by humans, though of course, theycan be roughly estimated. makesit clear that this represents anumber which is uncountable by humans: the sand of the sea, which cannot be numberedfor multitude. The Bible often uses the stars of heavento represent an extremely large quantity.Genesis 22:17 teaches that God wouldmultiply Abrahams descendants as the starsof the heaven, and as the sand which is onthe sea shore. If we look the earth from space this is exactly what we see that day and nights are rolling over a spherical ball like the image on the right. If the earth was flat, then the day and night would change suddenly. This revolving or folding of the day and night can only take place if the earth is spherical. It is used for the act of wrapping one thing around another in the way that a turban is folded on the head. The Arabic word translated as Wraps and it means to revolve upon, fold up, flow into, shroud, make one thing lap over an other. Does GODS Word say anything about this earth being round?įurther when we look at Surah Zumar verse 5 the word used are He wraps the night over the day.
