Subject: Where ARE the four corners of the earth? |
Bible Note: Hello Taleb, I too have read such writings as you mentioned about the four corners of the earth. I wish I could locate them. I recall they could help answer some of Makarios” legitimate questions. Others, who have studied the earth’s characteristics, answered many of my inital questions and doubts. I'm sure you will agree, the globe models we have today do an injustice to the earth's occupants. Look at the average world map and you would think that Greenland is one of the world's largest countries. In reality, China is almost five times the size of Greenland. And the real equator is NOT two thirds down. What do people do with "discoveries" that aren't found in scripture? To try to discredit scientific discoveries such as the four, not three, or twelve corners of the earth, because it doesn’t make sense to them, doesn’t make any sense to me. I recall reading about Galileo’s discovery that he made a few centuries ago, that the earth rotated around the sun, not the other way around as previously thought by “the church”, brought him grief too. He did it without the equipment that Hopkins, the Navy and scientist use. And, as I recall, they, like so many other discoveries, weren't searching to see if this not so round globe had any angles on it. Anyways, Taleb, thank you, and chin up, sir. Tom |
