It is He who sits above the circle of the earth

The Bible accurately stated that the earth was a circle, approximately 420 years before scientist confirmed that the earth was a sphere. In the book of Isaiah 40:21 we are told that "It is He (God) who sits above the circle of the earth. The book of Isaiah was written somewhere between 701 and 681BC and the scientist/philosopher Eratosthenes confirmed the earth as being a circumference in 240BC. That is an astounding 4 centuries later than the Bible's mention of it. I wonder how long it will be before man catches up to the idea that God did indeed create the earth in 6 days as told in the Bible? The bottom line is that science has always been and will always be fallible, but the God of the Bible is infallible.

Of course God would know that the earth was a circle. He created it!
You can have confidence in the accuracy and the truth of the Bible, but you have to read it to know what it says.

Don't be a Bible dummy-study the word. lol
