Because I refuse to believe that Nebuchadnezzar's dream means God said He created the earth flat?

Because you said only a scientist would compare someone's dream in the Bible* to reality.

Test it then.

Put ten scientists in a room and have them read that passage -- in the context -- and see if any of them agree the Bible teaches a flat earth.

If all ten disagree, then I may be wrong.

Did it; you're wrong.

That was Nebuchadnezzar's dream.

That's like saying Alice in Wonderland supports a fading cat.

Only a scientist would compare someone's dream in the Bible* to reality.

* Any other book and they would have made the distinction.

Alice in Wonderland does support a fading cat.

It was a prophetic dream, but you don't believe it. OK. So, how do you separate false images in a prophetic dream from true images in a prophetic dream?

What do you mean I don't believe it?

Daniel believed it.

So do I.

Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that there was a tree in the middle of the earth, seen by all nations.

Is there a problem?

You're comparing dreams in the Bible to real life. You tell us why that's a problem.

It appears as though the Bible writers did think of earth as a flat place with a dome over it,
Why are you calling it a dome, when the Bible calls it a firmament?

When you have to change the wording of the Bible to make your point, that sets up more red flags than a Chinese parade.

And listen to the first 40 seconds of this Ben Stanhope.

He talks more in tongues than a Charismatic convention.

Then, of course, he'll interpret it for you, and the damage is done.

It was more than just a dream, chief.

It was God communicating to Nebuchadnezzar through his hippocampus.

"Campus" ... hmmm ... now I understand your perplexity.

The first picture shows how Adam's world made the 2nd Day, looked. Gen 1:6-8
The last picture shows our 2nd Heaven which was made the 3rd Day, looked. Gen 2:4

You are confusing Adam's world/heaven, which was totally destroyed in the Flood, with the present Cosmos. The 3rd Heaven, (ll Cor 12:2) was also made the 3rd Day Gen 2:4 but it is not shown. Adam's firmament was much smaller than our world and could fit into Lake Van, Turkey, in the mountains of Ararat. The Lake is only 75 miles wide showing that Adam's firmament was much smaller than our world. Amen?
What flood
