Good humor is rooted in truth. This cartoon fails, because God didn’t say he made the universe or the earth flat. He did however tell us that He made it in six days.

Lots of eminent “scientists” believed the earth was flat back in the day, by the way.

Revelation 7:1 "And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree." (KJV)

Hmmm... sounds flat to me.

Wrong again. With the exception of some early Christians who rejected the "pagan absurdity" of a spherical earth, after about 300 BC few educated people doubted the earth was a sphere.

I’ve always thought that was a touch ironic since they also tended to believe that the sun and planets were perfect spheres.

Aristotle’s theories are fascinating for their logic but also for the dangers of false assumptions and lack of experimentation.

"He made it in six days."

But then the question once again beckons:

How long were the days or is a yom?
