1- first proof
God says in the holy quran
He created the heavens and the earth in true (proportion): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night..(Al-Qur'an 39:5)
The Arabic word used here is 'Kawwara' meaning 'to overlap' or 'to coil' - the way a turban is wound around the head. The overlapping or coiling of the day and night can take place if the earth is spherical
2- second proof
And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse). (Al-Qur'an 79:30)
The Arabic word for egg here is 'Dahaha' which means an ostrich-egg. The shape of an ostrich-egg resembles the geo-spherical shape of the earth.
79:30 He made the earth egg-shaped (The Rashad Khalifa translation)
An Interlude
1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree
8and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.
37 Miracles of Quran, wraps the night over the Day
The earth in the bible
earth is flat according to bible
Revelation 7 )New International Version) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...+7&version=NIV
1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.
So according to the bible: earth has four corners !!! is the earth: square ???
matthew 4:8 :""" Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. """
how could he see all the world from the mountain if the earth is spherical ??? this is not possible !!! ... it's possible just in one case: if the earth is flat !!!.
