Something is wrong with the Bible, Muslims were aware already of this more than 1000 years ago - the earth is NOT flat.

Muslims were even able with simple mathematics out of trigonometry to calculate its data.
There is not much difference to the results today with those of al-Biruni.

How to Calculate the Radius of the Earth? Al-Biruni's Classic Experiment
So Exactly how accurate was Biruni ?
With his formula Biruni arrived at the value of the circumference of the earth within 200 miles of the actual value of 24,902 miles, that is less then 1% of error. Biruni's stated radius of 6335.725 km is also very close to the original value.
The Bible makes no such claim. Why don't you go post this in the thread where we are discussing the flat earth? That is not the topic of this thread.

Where does the Bible say the earth is flat? Cite chapter and verse for me here.
I said I think it supports the flat earth. I never said that it says the earth is flat. Do you understand the difference? The Bible never says the earth is flat. I just think there is support in the Bible for the flat earth. Do you get it now? So you can not say the Bible is giving out false information. You do not even know what information the Bible gives out, but also, there is no assertion made in the Bible that the earth is flat.
And of course, my interpretation of the Bible could theoretically be wrong. What do I know? I just read it like anyone else. Maybe it does point to any number of views on the shape of the earth. Do you know what it says?
I know you hate God and wish to oppose Him and every Christian at every opportunity. I am not saying this for God though. It was just something to muse over, but of course since you have so much hate in your heart for God, you and the rest of you take it so seriously, as if this is finally your opportunity to heap your hate onto God. Your hatred for God only proves His existence (to me at least). Why bother hating an entity which doesnt exist? I certainly wouldnt waste my time hating Santa Claus (who watches if we are naughty or nice). I just think it is cute. So what is the problem with God, His Word, and Christians?
If Christians believe in fantasy, then how does that harm you? Are you like a feminist? Oh wait, you are a feminist. Just with a different dressing.
