Using the Bible as a scientific tool is beyond absurd. The Bible is here to help us, humans, understand God's law and sacrifice, not to understand God's creations.
Do you think the entire universe was created in true 6 Earth-days? What about all the carbon dating that tells us some stuff are millions or billions or years old, you think that's God tricking us and trying to make us believe something wrong? No, that doesn't add up, cause God can't lie, so he wouldn't make something purely to trick us into the wrong direction.
If the Earth is flat, why would they say circles anyway, among any other shape possible? Why not square? Ellipsis? Any form of any polygon ever? Why just say "circle"? In ancient times, where a word like "Sphere" may not exist because it's "too mathematical" for the time (exactly how terms like "factorial" or "root" didn't exist at the time), circle would be a decent way to describe the Earth if it was actually spherical.
"the horizon would constantly drop as you ascended" That implies 2 different things:
Either the Earth is finite, and thus, you should be able to see the entire Earth at once. But if it says "you only see the horizon no matter how far you go", that means you don't see the entire Earth, or else there would be no more horizon. Thus, this argument is completely wrong.
Either the Earth is infinite, which raises many many other questions and is completely incoherent with anything we've observed so far.
I'm open to ideas that the Earth may be something else that what we've been told, but so far, all the flat-Earthers arguments fall short very quickly. If you want to prove me it's flat, use actual mathematical tools like holonomy. I'll wait until then.
Do you think a God that created the entirity of the universe couldn't create the earth and everything in it within 6 days? Are you an authority of what constituted a day back then? What if time was much slower back then? Or the processes He employed were supercharged in some manner? I don't understand why someone would accept the idea of an all-powerful Creator God (creator of life, the universe and everything), but think He couldn't do it all in an instant if He wanted to.
I never said He couldn't. God lives outside time itself, so the whole "6 days" to Him is absolutely meaningless to begin with. He could make an infinite amount of universes before a photon even makes a single movement.
I'm not critizing the idea that God could create a world in 6 days, what I'm critizing is people thinking that, when everything in our world points to something different. If God created the world in 6 days, then why, in this very same universe, is carbon dating showing us some stuff are billions of years old? Why are stars billions of years old? Why are bones we find in the ground already millions of years old? Why would God create an universe in 6 days, but then make everything tell a lie to us to fool us at every corner? God is perfect, and He doesn't lie, so why would His very own creation lie to us?
Fair points, I imagine there is something to do with time dilation and how it affects things like carbon dating. I think there is a possibility that both are correct and we just don't understand a key thing that connects them. Didn't Einstein discover that time is not a constant? Could be related. I'm not a physicist though, or a geologist/etc. so this isn't something I study seriously.
Also, I think the scale of time is related to this. The Bible talks about the Earth being something like 6 thousand years old at this point, or maybe 7, I forget. That's orders of magnitude off from our best understanding in science. What if our scale of measurement is off somehow? That could reconcile these puzzling differences.
I'm not excluding either your theory, or the simple fact that our understanding of the world is completely wrong. Maybe carbon dating is not used correctly, or doesn't show what we expected, except we have nothing for now. In fact, I'm almost certain all of our theories are still wrong. And yes, time is very weird and more "fluid-like" than we think, so it's also a strong possibility. Time is related to space, but could very well be related to something like dark matter/dark energy, stuff that we've detected all over the universe but still are completely unable to understand.
It would be interesting if someone would scope out our most scientific understanding of the Universe in segements of time, be it billions or trillions of years, whatever, and then scaled it all into a period of 6 days representing eras or whatever. Perhaps that would give us insight.
I agree with that, but we should also accept we will be left in the dark in some topics. We can't handle all the truth on all subjects, not a single human can hold that much. I would rather get the truth on subject that matters to me directly (best example for now: the covid vaccines), rather than wasting my time on trying to debunk the Moon landing. Ok cool, the Moon landing was fake and I have the proof, now what? I know the top people are liars already, so it's not going to change much.
