Description

An interpretation of Biblical Cosmology and a critique of Christian Fundamentalism.

Why the Bible is not the Word of God.

Contrary to popular belief, Medieval Christians knew perfectly well that the Earth was a sphere.

The Ancient Greeks discovered that the Earth was spherical 2500 years ago and from 350BC onwards all educated Greeks and Romans knew this.

The early Christians thought that the Earth was Flat based on the Bible.However, following Constantine's policy of toleration for Christianity in the early C4th AD, Christians gradually adopted Greek and Roman Science into their World View.

Augustine and others developed the techniques of allegorical or non literal interpretation of the Bible.
