Oh, okay.If you find your post has been removed or edited

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth." (Isaiah 40:21-22).Eratosthenes, somewhere around 190 B.C.. In fact he calculated its circumference within 2% of what it actually is.so who discovered that the earth was round instead of flat?
Can you explain to me how that bible verse speaks of a round earth (orb shaped)?"Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth." (Isaiah 40:21-22).
Is Eratosthenes the surname of Isaiah? Isaiah Eratosthenes?
Thanks, I will stop reading. Half way through I started losing it.
Well, depending on the geometric understanding the writer had it can be interpreted both ways. But if he wasn't a dedicated mathematician I doubt he would describe it that way.Am I to believe Isaiah was talking about a flat circle earth?
