interesting...

I learned something today... I came online and a friend's msn name was "Remember... the bible was written by the same people who thought the world was flat" so I was like, wow I really should say something to him, but what? I needed to find something really smart-like that I could say that wouldn't be offensive, but informative. Unfortunately for me, I'm really uneducated when it comes to this stuff, although I'd love to have more knowledge on the bible, and biblical history, etc. Anyways, so I start looking up information on when it was discovered that the world was in fact round. And well, no one knows exactly when, but Aristotle who was around from 384-322 B.C. apparently wrote that it was common knowledge. So really, it was known before Jesus' time... Which means that the new testament was written with the knowledge of a spherical earth. Which therefore means that this name (which I also learned is a bumper sticker with that phrase on it) is false. Unfortunately by the time I learned this, that guy was offline. But regardless, it was interesting to learn...
