Not defending flat-Earthers, just the bible, see if you can find a logic, if you already have it. Connect the dots yourself.
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
I noticed this is much offended Bible verse, alright.
Interesting that Circle of Earth is mentioned right next to Grasshopper. Something to do with Mosaic Vision? How would a 2000-year-old know that? That’s too much coincidence side-by-side.
More interestingly, stretches out … like a canopy…spreads them… like a tent to live in. Still talking about the grasshopper? Yeah but imagine all the human beings living inside the eye of the grasshopper and each eye making one piece (pixel) of global God conscious. Something like infinite vision, that’s up next.
He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness. For he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
If your eyes are satellite and your vision is trajectory, how do you understand the infinite? Only that with each revolution, with each life, you’ll witness something difference. Hindus nailed it again. Told you testaments of Bible are all over the place, whether science or scriptures, (unless scriptures of cult religion… I mean what kind of scripture stars with read and then leads to literacy-rate projection of oh-that-doesn’t-look-good.)
Can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze? I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep.
Given a real encounter with the alpha, then this are bound to happen. A guy went into seclusion and find so many answers, ideas and things you wouldn’t even know how to categorize. The loneliness told him,
There are things to know that have no use of telling, you’ve to know them yourself.
The same thing told by classical Buddha, no one can guide you to enlightenment, you must walk the path yourself, or by modern Morpheus, no one can be told what the matrix is, you’ve to see it yourself.
However this, is the reason I keep saying the first book of Bible came before its time, you will have to wait centuries, let the truths of science spill out from all the corners of the earth before you are able to touch its depths. I mean, I’m no body, but I’m a man of science and senses, yet, I fail to comprehend the beauty, elegance, wonder, captivating power, and the magic of this verse. Like imagining for a second, God did not said those words, what else did? Genesis is a true mystery.
When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
Foundations, principles of science, laws of physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics… nothing you do not know in this age and time. It is the scales of ethics however, you’ll never be able to fully explore, now that’s pure jurisdiction of faith, but, there are no law-makers of faith, there are only guides.
Look, and there’s this site too explaining and making sense out of flat earth verse quoted out of context. The concept of holographic universe and what not, things that can be reasoned with reasonable people of science. But next time you let Bible get compared to any book, make sure it is incarnation-worthy.
The only time when your Earth gets flat, make sure it is just a metaphor to represent you fell in love, like the out of time and place musicals in Hindi movies, music in the air, moon looks bigger, sleepless nights… that kinda stuff. Have fun getting your earth flat, but get your earth-flattened in love, not in science.
Or like Hindus say the word Earth like Arth, Mana, Meaning. Flat meaning, straight path, simple meaning… Earth-flattered enough?
Christanity should be something like ‘Nullius in verba’ is taken to mean ‘take nobody’s word for it, even if it is Bible the word of God. If I am God you know who I would like to meet if I had a time machine? Sir Gregor Mendel. The most fascinating case of science and faith to me.
Principia verses Bible, bang, get the Bible out of the way. Faith and science is like putting your heart first or your mind, but you can never truly know your heart until you act. Just like the science says, if it can’t be proved in the lab, it’s not a fact, it’s a theory, a myth.
If science is going in one direction and Christanity with the other, there’s something wrong with Christanity. And by the way, if I ended up defending flat-Earthers by chance just to say Christanity ain’t all that flat, the jokes not on me.
Who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
