   Actually, the Bible teaches the earth is round. Isa. 40:22. It's even more   
   specific in saying that the earth is a sphere. BTW, that wasn't known when   
   it was penned down 512 BC.

   Not hard to comprehend, but there is evidence.

   Not really, science can be wrong. Especially if it comes to the wrong   
   conclusions. Like the guy, who trained a 100 frogs to jump at his command.   
   Then when he cut off their legs, they didn't jump. He concluded that frogs   
   without legs can't jump.
