There are many theories about the shape of the Earth dates back in the middle age. Most ancient cultures have thought that the earth is flat, which known as Flat Earth. Some of them think it is flat as a pancake or as a flat disk floating in the ocean, and the other think the sea has an end with waterfalls. The theory of a spherical Earth dates back to middle age also, from around the 6th century BC by a Greek philosophy. The round shape of Earth was first discovered by Around the World Expedition captained by Ferdinand Magellan a Portuguese explorer. On 10 of August 1519, the five ships financed by the Spanish Crown under Magellan's command departed from Seville. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean, passed through the Strait of Magellan, crossed the Pacific, and arrived in Cebu where Magellan was killed by Philippine natives under Lapu-Lapu in a battle. His second in command Juan Sebastián Elcano the Spaniard continued the expedition and on 6, September 1522, they arrived at Seville completing around the world journey. In Greek mythology, there's a Titan named Atlas who was forced to hold the Earth on his shoulders in the common interpretation today, that's why some thoughts spread that the earth is round and carried by the big man named Atlas.
The first image ever of the whole Earth that captured by a human the crew of Apollo 8 spacecraft in the year 1968. The photo shows the Earth at a distance of about 30,000 km.
Lets see the proved of science and technology about the shape of earth. According to the knowledge of science dates back year 1968, the earth is round as sphere by NASA using Apollo 8 spacecraft of the USA, and orbiting the sun by the invisible force and not holding by a big man. But those fact answers by science with a prove are all depend on and already written in the Bible 2500-2600 years ago.
“It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers, that stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in.”
Isaiah 40:22
According to the Bible scholars, the book of Isaiah is already written around 2500-2600 years ago. It said the circle of the earth, means the earth is circle. Proved that the first who told that the earth is round are no one, nor Ferdinand Magellan or science, but the Bible.
Some people that against the Bible tell that the meaning of Isaiah 40:22 was the earth is round as pancake floating in the ocean. If that is there logic about that Bible verse? Then, as early as 3000 years ago, how about the book of Job 26:7 which tells that the earth is hanging upon nothing.
“He spreads out the north over the empty space, and hang the earth upon nothing.”
Job 26:7
So, the book of Isaiah 40:22 with the verse of Job 26:7 rejecting the logic of those anti-Bible people or an atheist about the shape of our earth in those verses, and it means that the earth is round and hang upon nothing. The invisible force who keep the earth orbiting the sun in science is termed in the Bible, nothing.
“Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled, who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, 'It is truth.'”
Isaiah 43:9
Let all the nations gather together and the peoples assemble. I foretold this and proclaimed to you the former things that Isaiah 40:22 and Job 26:7 tell us that the earth is round and hang upon nothing as early as thousand years than Ferdinand Magellan, nor the knowledge of science! Bring your witnesses to prove this were right, so that others may hear and say,
“The Bible is true!”
Now, some scientists did not believe what the Holy Book says. And the other of them tells what the Bible said is wrong, but why the result of their research about the shape of the earth depend on the Bible if it is wrong? If their result depend on what the Holy Scripture says, then they must not tell shame about it! (Amen..)
