<<<aren't you glad to know that the Earth is not flat ?>>>

Itza rounda, no itza flata, no,itza rounda, no, itza flata........It was the Christian, Christopher Columbus who set out to prove to the world once and for all that it was round and though I can't verify it I believe he used the following scripture as his basis.

21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof.....

The sad thing is that if he does, it is a truth that came from outside the bible. Since one truth comes from outside the bible, might there be more? This is a logical slippery slope for someone who wants to claim that their dogma is consistent, perfect, convincing and inerrant. It is precisely like saying that God didn't create Evil. There are things that God didn't create? It's illogical to render your God blameless for creating evil and sin, and saying it is due to free choice. If He is all-knowing, then He knew, has known and will know all things before they happen. If he isn't all knowing then he isn't all-powerful.
