Islam teaches that the earth is flat
The Quran mentions that the world was "laid out" or "made flat"

Commentaries in the Qran say:
"... the earth, even though it is round, is an enormous sphere, and each little part of this enormous sphere, when it is looked at, appears to be flat."
and
"...the earth is flat, which is the opinion of most of the scholars of the law, and not a sphere as astronomers (ahl al-hay’a) have it."

Re: Islam teaches that the earth is flat
I was researching the origins of the modern calender which date back to julious caesar, basically the father of the calender we all use today.

It's funny that we've used the same calender 2000 years, used the stars to guide our understanding of the passage of 'time' yet we believed the earth was flat, even though the sun and moon and all the stars were round shaped.

It's amazing that through the 70,000 years or so that humans have spread through the planet since the last big volcanic event that nearly had us go extinct, that there's at most 4000 years of recorded history, and that we hardly even know much about the last 250 years much less the last 5000+

The concept of a spherical Earth dates back to ancient Greek philosophy from around the 6th century BC, but remained a matter of philosophical speculation until the 3rd century BC, when Hellenistic astronomy established the spherical shape of the earth as a physical given.

It is flat from a higher, 4d perspective - round and spherical from the 3d perspective of being trapped within the bubble...

Re: Islam teaches that the earth is flat
I was told, in Saudi Arabia that our planet just has to be flat. Were it actually to be spherical, that would imply that the devout who bow down towards Mecca are simultaneously aiming their arses at the holy site.

Re: Islam teaches that the earth is flat
I guess it's just the religtards that overthrew common sense and made up all this 'earth is flat' nonsense and then made it doctrine punishable by death.. then burnt all the books that said otherwise and made sure everyone was brainwashed...
