If the earth is flat rather than a sphere, then it is inconceivable that we have ventured into space. In the previously mentioned interview with Eric Dubay, he denied that there are any satellites orbiting the earth or that astronauts have gone into space. He claims that all photos and videos taken from space are faked. For example, Dubay says that the famous photograph of the earth taken by the Apollo 17 astronauts is a computer-generated image. Of course, this line of argumentation automatically requires belief that the Apollo moon landings were hoaxes. However there are good reasons to believe that we really did&nbsp;land on the moon&nbsp;during the Apollo program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChristians who want to entertain this nonsense ought to know that during his six-month stay on the International Space Station in 2006, astronaut Jeffrey Williams photographed the earth more than any astronaut in history. Some of Williams\u2019 photos are found in his book,&nbsp;<em>The Work of His Hands: A View of God\u2019s Creation from Space<\/em>. Many of the photos show that the earth is spherical. It ought to be apparent from the book\u2019s title that Williams is a Christian, but the book\u2019s content makes it abundantly clear. Hence, to doubt that the earth is spherical or that astronauts have gone into space is to accuse a Christian brother of perpetuating a tremendous lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut Williams is not the only Christian to have gone into space: Jim Irwin and Charles Duke were among the twelve men who walked on the moon. Recently, I asked Charles Duke to respond to those who think that the earth is flat and those who think that we faked the Apollo moon landing. This is what he wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018I was the lunar module pilot on the Apollo 16 mission to the moon. We launched from KSC (Kennedy Space Center) in Florida on April 16, 1972. We left earth orbit for our three day trip to the moon about three hours later. As we maneuvered our spacecraft to dock with our lunar module, the earth came into view about 20,000 miles away. It was an awesome sight. As you can see in the photo, it is obviously a sphere and not a flat circle. As we journeyed to the moon, we would look out our windows and see a smaller earth, and each time we would see different landmasses, so it was obviously rotating on its axis. Some people are questioning the fact that we landed on the moon, alleging that it is a big hoax. Well, we did land on the moon six times, and the evidences are overwhelming. If we faked the landing, why did we fake it 6 times? One needs only to look at the photos from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter from my mission. The photos of our landing site shows the descent stage, the lunar rover, the experiments package, and the tracks we left on the moon. Every landing site has similar evidence. There are many other proofs that conclusively show that Apollo actually landed on the moon six times.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAgain, Christians who think that the earth is flat or that men never set foot on the moon are effectively accusing several Christian brothers of lying about one of the biggest things that ever happened in their lives. Are the Apollo moon landing deniers prepared to make this accusation?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more about a \u201cflat earth\u201d see the following &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/earth\/does-bible-teach-earth-flat\/\">Does the Bible Teach that the Earth Is Flat<\/a>?\u201d by Dr. Danny Faulkner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/creation.com\/flat-earth-myth\">The Flat Earth Myth<\/a>\u201d by Dr. Jonathan Sarfati<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/creation.com\/the-flat-earth-myth-and-creationism\">The Flat-Earth Myth and Creationism<\/a>\u201d by Jerry Bergman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/earth\/is-the-earth-flat\/\">\u201cIs the Earth Flat?<\/a>\u201d by Dr. Danny Faulkner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/creation.com\/media-center?fileID=y28OaM5c0Fg\">No, the Earth Is Not Flat<\/a>\u201d Interview with Dr. Henry Richter, developer of the first U.S. satellite<br>&#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wayoflife.org\/subscribe\/\">Receive these reports by email<\/a><br>&#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wayoflife.org\/\">www.wayoflife.org<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sharing Policy:<\/strong>&nbsp;Much of our material is available for free, such as the hundreds of articles at the Way of Life web site.

From their earliest days in school, teachers and textbooks have taught students that the earth is spherical. For those who dwell on this matter and begin to question the earth\u2019s spherical shape, seeds of doubt quickly sprout into full disbelief. Often, people will respond with the observation that photos from space clearly show a spherical earth. However, we know that photos can easily be photoshopped or faked. And these types of photos and videos (starting with the Apollo space missions) have been available only for a little more than a half century. But evidences for a spherical earth go back much further than this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bu9S2r_TVwI?rel=0&amp;playsinline=1&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;webkit-playsinline=1&amp;loop=0&amp;autostart=0&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fanswersingenesis.org&amp;widgetid=1\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evidence of Our Spherical Earth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/earth\/falling-flat-earth\/\">Earth\u2019s Shadow<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Without photographs from space, how would people in the ancient world figure out that the earth is spherical? Well, in the sixth century BC, Pythagoras taught that the earth was spherical, although none of his writings exist that explains how he came to this conclusion. Aristotle (384\u2013322 BC) was among the first to write down the fact of our planet being a round sphere. He observed lunar eclipses and correctly realized that the cause of lunar eclipses (which can happen only with a full moon) is the shadow of the earth crawling across the moon. And because the edge of the earth\u2019s shadow is always a portion of a circle, the earth\u2019s shadow on the moon must also be a circle. If the earth were shaped like a disk, it could only cast a circular shadow for lunar eclipses that occur at midnight. However, the earth\u2019s shadow would be an ellipse, a line, or a rectangle when a lunar eclipse occurs at sunrise or sunset. But during a lunar eclipse, the earth\u2019s shadow is always a circle regardless of when the eclipse occurs. Regardless of positioning, there is only one shape that produces a circular shadow\u2014a sphere. You can easily see this if you point a flashlight at a wall and use a circular dish and a ball. The dish will only project a circular shadow when oriented face-on to the light, and when it is edge on, or at any other angle, it will produce a line or ellipse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/earth\/polaris-and-flat-earthers\/\">Visibility of the Stars<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The North Star is within a degree of the north celestial pole. The stars, sun, and moon appear to spin around the north celestial pole, causing the north celestial pole to remain fixed in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At northern locations, the altitude of the North Star is noticeably higher in the sky than at southern locations. Think of the North Star in the sky in Minnesota versus where it would be in Florida. This placement can happen only if north-south motion is along an arc. Furthermore, the North Star (Polaris) is not visible in locations more than one degree south of the equator, nor is the Southern Cross visible in most of the Northern Hemisphere. This makes no sense in a&nbsp;flat-earth&nbsp;model but comports perfectly with a spherical earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Curvature of the Earth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The earth is curved in both the north-south direction and in the east-west direction, which is the reason why Time Zones were implemented. For example, there is a time difference of three hours between the east and west coasts of the United States (and 4\u20135 hours, respectively, if Alaska and Hawaii are factored in). So the sun rises and sets approximately three hours earlier in Boston than it does in Los Angeles People who have flown between the east and west coasts of the United States understand this because not only does their watch (or phone) display the time difference of three hours, but their body notices the difference as well, which is what the term&nbsp;<em>jetlag<\/em>&nbsp;was invented to describe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before such rapid travel, how did people realize this?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/bios\/danny-faulkner\/\">Dr. Danny Faulkner<\/a>&nbsp;explains,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Such rapid transportation was not possible in ancient times, but the ancients could see this time difference a different way. A lunar eclipse obviously must happen simultaneously for everyone on earth, but it will be different times at different locations. For instance, a lunar eclipse may start shortly after sunset in the eastern Mediterranean, such as in Greece. However, in the western Mediterranean, such as in Spain, the moon would already be in eclipse when the moon rose that night. This means that the lunar eclipse began before sunset\/moonrise in Spain, but after sunset\/moonrise in Greece. Communication was such in the ancient world that people were aware of this effect. This shows that the earth is curved in the east-west direction. If the earth is curved in both the north-south and east-west direction, the most likely shape of the earth is a sphere.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/danny-faulkner\/2021\/06\/10\/more-evidence-earth-is-a-globe\/\">Ship Sources<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pliny the Elder noticed and recorded that ships\u2019 hulls disappeared before their masts did as ships sailed away, an occurrence that happens only if the earth is spherical. Relatedly, someone perched in a crow\u2019s nest high above a ship\u2019s deck can spot land or other ships before people on the deck can. If the earth were flat, there would be no advantage to being in a crow\u2019s nest, as you should be able to see all land and ships from the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar thing can be observed on land. On the eastern shore of Green Bay, Wisconsin, is the Door Peninsula. More than 20 miles away is Northern Michigan. If you stand on the beach at Green Bay, you cannot see Northern Michigan. But, if you climb the bluffs above the beach, you can spot the shoreline of Northern Michigan, which is possible only if the earth is spherical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/earth\/flat-earth-proof-just-a-mirage\/\">\u201cSupport\u201d for a Flat Earth<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cevidences\u201d produced by the&nbsp;flat-earth&nbsp;crowd are negative. The evidence attempts to \u201cprove\u201d that the earth is not spherical. However, the Bedford Level Experiment, is a positive \u201cevidence\u201d\u2014i.e., an attempt to directly show that the earth is flat. Dr. Danny Faulkner provides a great explanation of his experiment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In 1838, Samuel Rowbotham claimed to have conducted an experiment on the Old Bedford River near Norfolk, England. The Bedford Level is a six-mile stretch of the Old Bedford River that is straight, allowing an uninterrupted view along the six miles. Furthermore, there is no gradient there, so that portion of the river amounts to a slow-flowing drainage canal. . . . Rowbotham waded into the river and used a telescope held eight inches above the water to observe a rowboat with a five-foot high mast row away. Rowbotham claimed that he could see the mast when it was six miles away, even though the spherical earth required that the top of the mast be about eleven feet below his horizon (as viewed from eight inches above the water). Rowbotham concluded that the earth must be flat. . . . Rowbotham, using a pseudonym [\u201cParallax\u201d], published his results in a pamphlet titled&nbsp;<em>Zetetic Astronomy<\/em>&nbsp;in 1849, which he expanded into a book in 1865.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1870, John Hampden offered a prize to anyone who could show a convex curvature of a large body of water, as a spherical earth would require. Alfred Russell Wallace took the challenge but was apparently aware of Rowbotham\u2019s methodologies and erroneous result. Wallace altered the technique a bit to avoid the known effects of refraction. He placed two identical objects at different locations along the Bedford Level. Wallace examined each object from a telescope mounted on a bridge. He found that the nearer object appeared higher than the more distant one, consistent with the results predicted by a spherical earth, as the density of air decreases with increasing height. This causes a slight change in the index of refraction in air: rays of light passing close to the earth\u2019s surface are bent downward. This makes distant objects appear higher than they actually are when viewed from close to the earth\u2019s surface. Many such experiments since 1838 that minimize the effect of refraction give results consistent with a spherical earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Has the Church Historically Taught About the Shape of the Earth?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to the common misconception, the medieval church did not believe or teach that the earth was flat. Thomas Aquinas (AD 1225\u20131274) introduced Aristotelian thought into medieval church teaching. Aristotle (fourth century BC) and subsequent Greek philosophers and mathematicians clearly taught that the earth was spherical. In the early second century BC, Eratosthenes measured the circumference of the spherical earth to a very close approximation. The works of Aristotle, Eratosthenes, and other scholars were all copied by monks and were widely available and discussed in the late medieval period by clergymen and well-educated people, and this continued through the transition to the Renaissance. The historical record is a clear testimony, so why do so many people believe today (and ironically even by some in the church) that the church of old taught a flat earth? Dr. Danny Faulkner gives an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/earth\/does-bible-teach-earth-flat\/\">explanation<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>This misconception is easily traced to the writings of two late nineteenth-century skeptics, John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White, who invented the conflict thesis. The conflict thesis [a humanist tenet] holds that religion in general, and Christianity in particular, held back progress. The contention of the conflict thesis was that the medieval Europe was gripped with superstition (Christianity) that prevented intellectual advancement, and it was only after man\u2019s reason [secular humanism] reasserted itself during the Renaissance that man slowly became unshackled from religious dogma, bringing about the Enlightenment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The story of Christopher Columbus was also mythologized by the promoters of the conflict thesis. Modern people believe that during Columbus\u2019 time, most of society thought the earth was flat. According to this narrative, Columbus, one of the few people who thought the earth was spherical, understood that he could sail westward from Europe to reach India and China on a spherical earth. As the story goes, Columbus had to contend for his expedition against strong objections from those who thought that the earth was flat in order to get support (a complete and utter fabrication of the facts). Once Columbus managed to complete a voyage to the New World and returned to Europe, people supposedly realized that Columbus was correct all along\u2014the world was round and not flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in reality, the opposition to his proposed journey was not how possible it was to reach Asia by going westward but rather how logical the journey was. The belief was that the westward voyage across the Atlantic between Europe and Asia was vast, with little or no land in between. At the time of Columbus, voyages over open water were very risky, and ships typically sailed no more than three days out of sight of land. A voyage westward across the Atlantic Ocean (presumably to Asia) would have required months, with no opportunity to resupply or be rescued along the way if problems developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was known at the time how long it took to sail from Spain to the Orient by hugging the coast of Africa, rounding the Cape of Good Hope, and sailing up eastern Africa and then past India. Keep in mind that the Suez Canal was not yet in existence. But going to the Orient via the Atlantic Ocean would be much longer since the Panama Canal did not exist at that time. For Columbus to have made it to China, he would have had to sail across the open Atlantic, circumvent South America, and traverse the much vaster Pacific Ocean. And even though maps at that time were more crude and less accurate, most educated people knew that the distance was much greater by going west to the Orient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>History contradicts the popular story of Columbus. A significant amount of the work that supports a&nbsp;flat earth&nbsp;today uncritically rehearses and adds to the false history. The&nbsp;flat-earth&nbsp;movement began in the mid-nineteenth century, the same time that the conflict thesis was being developed. While the Bible was being ridiculed by skeptics for supposedly teaching a flat earth, early flat-earthers blindly accepted this false claim. Coincidentally, Christians\u2019 recent interest in a&nbsp;flat earth&nbsp;has been fueled by the erroneous belief that the Bible teaches that the earth is flat. But examining the Scriptures to see what they say, we find that&nbsp;flat-earth&nbsp;believers do not discern the text any better than they discern history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/earth\/does-bible-teach-earth-flat\/\">Does the Bible Teach That the Earth Has an Edge?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any person who knows shapes understands that a sphere does not have an edge. We can travel around a sphere forever and never reach a boundary (and not have to worry about \u201cfalling off\u201d). By contrast, if the earth were flat, an edge must exist somewhere. However, Bible skeptics are fond of producing the phrase \u201cfour corners of the earth\u201d (when not applying to a physical object like the ark of the covenant or an altar), though it appears only four times in the Bible (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Isa%2011.12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Isaiah 11:12<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Ezek%207.2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ezekiel 7:2<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Rev%207.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revelation 7:1<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Revelation%2020.8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">20:8<\/a>). Ultimately, skeptics claim that this phraseology must mean a flat, square earth\u2014\u201cproving\u201d that the Bible teaches a flat earth. But contextually, those references point to cardinal directions and could just as easily have been translated \u201cfrom the north, south, east and west.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biblical critics allege that the Bible is not inspired because the Bible writers \u201cbelieved\u201d one of the&nbsp;flat-earth&nbsp;cosmologies of the ancient world; however, the writers who penned the Bible merely reflected the worldview of their times. Some examples of&nbsp;flat-earth&nbsp;cosmologies from the ancient world exist, but they always show a flat,&nbsp;<em>round<\/em>&nbsp;earth. Because a circle was considered a much more perfect shape than a square, none of the ancient&nbsp;flat-earth&nbsp;cosmologies involved a square earth. If the Bible presented a square, flat earth, then it would have been at odds with every other ancient&nbsp;flat-earth&nbsp;cosmology. Therefore, this attempt by skeptics to claim that the Bible teaches a&nbsp;flat earth&nbsp;does not square (pun intended) with the facts of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If the Verses That Mention the Earth\u2019s Four Corners Do Not Refer to a Flat Earth, Then to What Do They Refer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Rev%207.1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revelation 7:1<\/a>&nbsp;speaks of four angels standing on the four corners of the earth and restraining the four winds of the earth. The frequent poetic elements and use of imagery in the book of Revelation are agreed to by even the most ardent students of hyper-literal interpretation of the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned previously, the four winds are the four cardinal directions from which winds blow: north, south, east, and west. We even use this terminology today, when we say that the wind is \u201cout of the west.\u201d The repetition of the number four (\u201cfour angels . . . four corners . . . four winds\u201d) is important as it ties each angel and each corner with one of the four compass directions. Dr. Danny Faulkner elaborates&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/earth\/does-bible-teach-earth-flat\/\">further<\/a>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The phrase \u201cfour corners of the earth\u201d probably was an idiom in the Apostle John\u2019s time, much as it is in English today, referring to every distant location on the earth. This is the meaning from the context of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Rev%2020.7%E2%80%938\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revelation 20:7\u20138<\/a>, the other occurrence of the phrase \u201cfour corners of the earth\u201d in the book of Revelation. . . . It is probable that the English idiomatic understanding of \u201cthe four corners of the earth,\u201d referring to the remotest parts of the earth, stems from [these verses and from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Isa%2011.12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Isaiah 11:12<\/a>] . . . the third appearance of this phrase in the Bible. Its use there is generally understood to be idiomatic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And the reference in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Ezek%207.2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ezekiel 7:2<\/a>&nbsp;is strictly speaking of the \u201cfour corners\u201d of the divided kingdom of Israel, which in no way supports a flat earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/days-of-creation\/are-biblical-creationists-cornered\/\">Why the \u201cFour Corners\u201d Argument Is Rarely Used by Flat-Earthers<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While flat-earthers use these verses, many do not\u2014probably because they recognize that a square earth with corners does not agree with their model of a&nbsp;<em>round<\/em>, flat earth, which is a notable problem. How can a Christian who earnestly believes that this is what the Bible teaches handle these three verses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the phrase \u201cends of the earth\u201d (which appears 28 times in the King James Version) were taken literally, that phrasing would propose that the earth has an edge, ruling out a spherical earth. However, each of these 28 instances of the phrase \u201cends of the earth\u201d in context shows that this phrase is used as an idiomatic expression. This phrase often is used to speak of the people who inhabit these remote places, not of the distant parts of the earth itself (e.g.,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Ps%2067.7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Psalm 67:7<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Psalm%2098.3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">98:3<\/a>;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Isa%2045.22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Isaiah 45:22<\/a>). It is a poor argument that this phrase indicates that the earth is flat and has a physical edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Firmament a Dome over the Earth?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Flat-earth cosmology holds that a dome covers a circular, flat earth, with its edge resting on the earth beyond the ice wall of Antarctica, that the stars are affixed to this dome, and that the sun and moon are above the earth but beneath the dome. People have called this a \u201csnow-globe cosmology.\u201d Flat-earthers claim that this is the cosmology that the Bible teaches. Let us examine the Scriptures that supposedly support this cosmology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Danny Faulkner&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/earth\/does-bible-teach-earth-flat\/\">notes<\/a>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Key in this discussion is the&nbsp;<em>firmament<\/em>. The Hebrew word&nbsp;<em>r\u0101q\u00eea\u2018<\/em>&nbsp;is translated as&nbsp;<em>firmament<\/em>&nbsp;in the King James Version. It appears a total of 17 times in the Old Testament, with over half of the occurrences (9) in chapter 1 of Genesis alone. The word is a noun that derives from the Hebrew root&nbsp;<em>rq\u2018<\/em>, meaning to stamp out. An example of this action is to stamp or pound a metal into thin sheets&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, some people reason that since this is an action frequently done to a metal, the thing being stretched out must have some physical property common with metals. Metals often are hard, so, according to this reasoning, the&nbsp;<em>r\u0101q\u00eea\u2018<\/em>&nbsp;must be hard. But it is questionable if the&nbsp;<em>r\u0101q\u00eea\u2018<\/em>&nbsp;is something that is hard. It is more likely that the intended meaning of&nbsp;<em>r\u0101q\u00eea\u2018<\/em>&nbsp;is related to the process of stamping out, not a physical property of the thing subjected to the process. The process has the effect of spreading out a substance [as in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/2%20Sam%2022.43\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2 Samuel 22:43<\/a>] or possibly making the substance thin. This is why many more modern translations of the Bible render&nbsp;<em>r\u0101q\u00eea\u2018<\/em>&nbsp;as&nbsp;<em>expanse<\/em>&nbsp;rather than&nbsp;<em>firmament<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>From this brief glimpse at several Old Testament passages, there is no clear evidence that the&nbsp;<em>r\u0101q\u00eea\u2018<\/em>&nbsp;is a solid dome over the earth. Rather, it likely is what we today would call much of the earth\u2019s atmosphere as well as outer space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a common belief today that the Bible presents the cosmology as a hard dome over a&nbsp;flat earth&nbsp;supported by the \u201cpillars of the earth\u201d (as mentioned in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/1%20Sam%202.8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Samuel 2:8<\/a>&nbsp;and implied in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Job%209.6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Job 9:6<\/a>). But ironically, proponents of&nbsp;flat earth&nbsp;never discuss&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Job%2026.11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Job 26:11<\/a>, which mentions the pillars of heaven (if literal, they would have to go from the earth up to the \u201cdome\u201d). Nor do they mention&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Job%2026.7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Job 26:7<\/a>, which states God \u201changs the earth on nothing.\u201d They are careful to pick and choose which Bible verses they use to support their position and ignore ones that don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make matters worse, Christians who endorse a&nbsp;flat earth&nbsp;will use images created by contemporary theologians who wrongly present biblical cosmology as a&nbsp;flat earth&nbsp;under a domed vault as evidence of what the Bible teaches. In doing so, they support skeptics who attack the Bible by saying it endorses ANE (ancient Near East) mythologies, thus subjugating biblical authority to other texts. Additionally, they become unwitting victims of the conflict thesis twice, first in believing in a&nbsp;flat earth&nbsp;and second in accepting the false domed-vault cosmology. This concept of biblical cosmology arose in the late nineteenth century as an attempt to&nbsp;<em>discredit the Bible<\/em>, not from ANE sources. Those who support the flat earth, believing that this is what the Bible teaches, have fallen into a trap. Ironically, some flat-earthers believe they are defending the Bible, but they have been tricked into doing just the opposite and use the same false arguments that skeptics do to cast doubt and ridicule Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.answersingenesis.org\/img\/cms\/content\/contentnode\/header_image\/reflections-flat-earth-movement.jpg\" alt=\"Flat Earth illustration\"\/><figcaption> <a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/flat-earth\/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1Dun34Uf-BdXqXQCTHucuVvdMJN8p8s54KvQwnwq4bwmXiA_iIWVvPXso_aem_ATxaN8c6Ytv3P0okbX1Vv8r6-KtOu8sCvGVp6IAHb-KNHu1IJi6Ijycqfa32hha60Pp4kKzR4tx7n98OoVO7eKUi\">Flat Earth Topic | Answers in Genesis<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Articles About Flat Earth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/earth\/falling-flat-earth\/\">Falling for a Flat Earth<\/a> Feb. 11, 2024&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/answers\/magazine\/\">Answers Magazine<\/a> A resurgent&nbsp;flat-earth&nbsp;movement claims we need to get back to what the Bible says\u2014but what does God\u2019s Word really say about the earth\u2019s shape?<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/astronomy\/flat-earth\/do-government-documents-admit-earth-flat\/\">Do Government Documents Admit That the Earth Is Flat?<\/a>Sept. 15, 2023&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/answers\/in-depth\/\">Answers in Depth<\/a>Flat-Earthers Misunderstand Simplifying Assumptions<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/danny-faulkner\/2023\/09\/14\/get-ready-april-8-2024-total-solar-eclipse\/\">Get Ready for the April 8, 2024, Total Solar Eclipse!<\/a>Sept. 14, 2023&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/danny-faulkner\/\">Danny Faulkner Blog<\/a> Another Chance to View the Creator\u2019s Artistry<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/danny-faulkner\/2023\/08\/30\/moon-transparent-object\/\">Is the Moon a Transparent Object?<\/a>Aug. 30, 2023&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/danny-faulkner\/\">Danny Faulkner Blog<\/a>The Recent Lunar Occultation of Antares Disproves a Flat-Earth Claim.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/danny-faulkner\/2023\/08\/08\/watch-perseid-meteor-shower-weekend\/\">Watch for the Perseid Meteor Shower This Weekend!<\/a>Aug. 8, 2023&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/danny-faulkner\/\">Danny Faulkner Blog<\/a>One of the best meteor showers of the year will be this Sunday!<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/danny-faulkner\/2023\/06\/14\/time-zones-and-flat-earth\/\">Time Zones and the Flat Earth<\/a>June 14, 2023&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/danny-faulkner\/\">Danny Faulkner Blog<\/a>Is the sun like a spotlight?<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/ken-ham\/2023\/04\/07\/christian-astronaut-lying-you\/\">Is This Christian Astronaut Lying to You?<\/a>April 7, 2023&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/blogs\/ken-ham\/\">Ken Ham Blog<\/a>Do people actually believe in a flat earth?
