    LOL, I actually thought you were someone saying I was the lunatic, then I looked again at the word "lunatic" to get what you said.

    Good find.

    Lunatic is the new name for allah
    or should that be for mahomad....

    Maybe he was thinking about Ahmad.

    Oh... and to respond to the original question: the earth was probably flat at the time when Koran was written - just like it was when sketching the Bible. About 500 years ago it suddenly changed to ball form.

    Who told you the Bible said it was flat? LOL

    Is this what they teach in schools these days? No wonder so many are mis-informed.

    Revelation 7:1
    1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (KJV)

    Job 38:13
    13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? (KJV)

    Jeremiah 16:19
    19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (KJV)

    Daniel 4:11
    11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the ENDS OF ALL THE EARTH: (KJV)

    Matthew 4:8
    8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; (KJV)

    "He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 104:5)"

    NOTE: I don't intend to hurt any Christian's feelings. This is why I say that the Bible is not in its pure form. Do you expect me to believe that God doesn't know that the earth is round and revolves around the Sun?

    yes, that's exactly what they expect you to believe......

    the funniest bit in the bible has to be where "the almighty" punishes a snake by making it crawl on it's belly ..... lol .......

    Lol! There are many other human interpolations in the Bible too. And a Christian scholar said, "I don't know why God put it in there." Not realizing the fact that it has been edited by people beyond return.

    And as for the topic, the verse people refer to, it is about the land because the land you stand on is flat. Don't people use length x breadth for area of land?
    But when talking about the earth, it says, "Allah has made the earth egg-shaped".
    Thank you very much.

    Be careful, I didn't say Bible says world was flat (neither I didn't say Bible wouldn't have said). I was referring to the fact that earth has been considered flat until somebody 500 years ago started thinking alternative ideas.

    And sketching bible naturally means "Thats when you read the bible wearing a pair of trendy shoes." like mentioned earlier.

    :rolleyes:

    Do you think the concept of the world being flat came from the Qur'an?

    Hehee. Now where on earth in my texts did you get that? :)

    I couldn't care less whether it was Qur'an, Bible or somebody who ate too much mushrooms who initially told that earth was flat. Won't make any difference in my life.:cool:

    sounds like the earth is some form of a sphere. I don't know how this should be measured in the scheme of everything.

    some say in history man used to believe that the earth was round or some form of a sphere (not sure about the prescion of things), then things changed and everyone was about the earth being flat then of course it changed back 500 years ago.
