38. Incorrect Flat-Earth Theory: God Wants To Keep Us In The Dark
If we were meant to understand the secret things about the universe’s inner workings, God would have told us those things very clearly. Nevertheless, He does not want us to know that there are planets other than the Earth, solar systems other than our own, and even other galaxies and possibly other universes. Even though it doesn’t make much sense as to why He wouldn’t want us to know about other planets or solar systems other than our own, that has yet to be explained.
Never mind the fact that when the Bible refers to the “four corners of the earth,” it is not necessarily saying that the Earth is flat. It’s using a figure of speech, one that we still use today. Many people who lived in Biblical times knew that the Earth was a globe. So why on Earth are people believing that the Earth is flat, when in fact, people from hundreds of years ago knew better, and they didn’t have nearly as much proof as we do now. What has changed in the way others think over the years?
