Bible Note: The Book of Job is thought to be the oldest book of the Bible, written perhaps 4000 years ago. Yet, in 26:7, it is clear that the author understood that the earth is floating in space. Other cultures at that time or since then thought the world was riding on the back of a giant cosmic turtle or otherwise supported by something solid underneath the entire world, e.g. Atlas.
