Funny how Galileo spent most of his life under house arrest from the Roman Catholic Church...I wonder why, since he contradicted scripture>>>>>>

Look at the references to all of those Bible verses that assert that the Earth is flat and has four corners! Can we really believe this? How is this supposed to be interpreted?
You've never heard of figurative language?

Really!

But I understand that the OP is actually a backlash against those who push bible literalism.

The Bible also speaks of the four corners of the earth. Some could conclude that the earth is square but it isn't. The Bible wasn't speaken of the earth as being a flat circle not did it state that is was. It simply said circle. If the earth were flat, water would run off of it's surface. So could humans and animals.

Aw shucks ...
Four corners --- South East Utah !!!
The Bible is true !!!

Oops , nobody around Four Corners,
except some Native Americans selling trinkets ...

BTW, If you DO decide to visit *Four Corners*,
it DOES look like *The end of the world* ...
Most of the time Hot and Dusty !!
Nothing worthwhile out there ....
