That *The Bible teaches that the earth is flat* is a lie.

That’s just being used by evos to try to destroy the credibility of creationists.

Obviously, evos have nothing real or valid to use, so they must make up some wild-eyed scenario to tell others, one that has no basis other than having been repeated by FRevos innumerable times. There is no historical justification for that rumor and there’s no factual justification.

It’s only a perversion of Scripture, which is really interesting to behold.

In Genesis when it clearly says that God used the dust of the earth to create man and animals, evos read all kinds of things into that passage in a vain attempt to claim that it really means evolution and the Bible doesn’t really mean what it says.

It’s the same technique that they use for the flat earth argument. They take a passage of Scripture and read all kinds of things into it that it never says, and claim that that’s what the Bible teaches, even when there are verses that mention the earth being a sphere and floating in space.

But those verses are conveniently ignored as they cannot be used to misrepresent Christians and creationists as anti-science Luddites.

...once you interpret them in the light of current scientific knowledge.

Of course it's a lie. It would only teach that the Earth is flat IF one applies your strictly literalist interpretation.
