    Am I to assume then your belief, since false is a heresy? I have no proof it is. When the 6th seal is opened all will know the truth. That is not years away, it will be very soon. I am patient enough to wait a little longer.

    Yes the Bible states certain things, but interpretations can be deceiving. If you did not have a western education and read the same verses, would they mean the same thing? The Mesopotamians beloved in a domed sky, does that mean it is true? I have no proof either way. It is not doctrine or theology to me. It is reading the Bible and figuring out science.

    About the land area being a circle. It is, in fact as humans circle the earth themselves the earth is spinning below. But it is like looking down into a washing machine. The land is moving, and the waters between the continents and Antarctica may be moving, but Antarctica does not move, it is all the sides of the washing machine. The north pole is the center. All debris, satellites, and the space station are in orbit around the north pole. Nope it probably does not make sense, but it was explained to me inadvertently by a mathematician trying to explain Einstein's spacetime on a map with two dimension points and what happens to a flat map. He stopped explaining when I asked what about the third dimension. It had to do with a+b as two points at the north pole, but he would not do a+b+c when you place a and b on top of each other it changes the map causing a curve. If you added c, it seemed it would lift Antarctica into the air. But we stopped the subject. Even google will not let me zoom out to a circle any more.
