Subject: Where ARE the four corners of the earth? |
Bible Note: TommyS, here is some of the info I promised about the four corners of the earth. I understand that you have read all the other "views" on this thread, so I’ll try not to be repetitious. Under the direction of Drs. Robert R. Newton, William H. Guier and George C. Weiffenbach, scientists at John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, in Silver Springs, Maryland worked under a contract with U.S. Naval Bureau of Naval Weapons. The study was initiated because orbiting satellites “dipped” for unknown reasons. With intricate measuring equipment, they were able to “locate the reason”. They discovered the four corners, or pyramid-like covered several thousands of square miles of the earth’s surface. The “high points” are about 220 feet below what they would be if the world were actually round. The “low points” are about 253 feet below. P.S. Here is a small scale experiment that "sort of proves" what happens. Take a small bowl of water and blow on the water gently. You will notice "the dip" and you will notice the water heaping elsewhere in the bowl. Well, on those locations I sent earlier - this is the situation with our world. Interesting how ONCE again, science backs up His word. I have a hard time not getting excited waiting to see what the next Bible verse will be "better explained." Hope this info helps.
