once and for all is the earth flat or round

The idea of bringing Mazzaroth in his season is an incredibly old observation that predates the Ptolemaic notion of the Sun moving through the 12 constellations by many thousands of years. ' Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?' Book of Job

Even within the ancient writings themselves, there are brilliant observations and questions following from those observations. God gave me a gift when it comes to these things and I always want to share the information with other Christians so long as they are open to them.

The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men.' Augustine

Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. 'Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience. It is part of spirit/inspiration that people make the effort to enjoy the gift of God in our journey through life from child to adult where the connection between the person and physical creation is part of the connection between a person and God. Although I come from a different tradition to Augustine, I share with him the concern for the misuse of scripture to promote or oppose a physical fact which links the human individual to their terrestrial and celestial surroundings.
