Bible Question: A while back I read something about science discovering where the four corners of the earth really are. But I can't remember where they are. Does anybody know? |
Bible Answer: TommyS, you ask some interesting questions. When I read this question in passing the other night, I knew I knew what you were talking about. At least I hoped I knew. :) It took some digging in my not quite organized filing system to locate an old article that refers to what I gleaned for you. According to the June 19, 1965 "Science News Letter" the four corners are: 1. One of the earth's corners centers over Ireland and sprawls northward towards the pole. 2. Another corner extends across the equator from New Guinea northward towards Japan. 3. A third corner is south of Africa centered about halfway to the Antartic. 4. The last corner is west of South Amercia, with the high point off Peru. If, by chance you desire more info - let me know. Blessings, Taleb P.S. I love how science so often proves Scripture, or is that the other way around. :) |
