Back then, anything other than the sun and moon was catagorized as stars. To this very day we still call meteors shooting stars.
"Meteors" are shooting stars and are thrown at devils according to the Qur'an. In my thread, I used Qur'an, Gospel, and Torah verses, not just Gospel, because all three Books make one religion, not 3 religions.
37:6 - 10, Qur'an
Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars and as protection against every rebellious devil [so] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side, repelled; and for them is a constant punishment, except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].
Uh, it could be that the mountains are leveled and the globe will be a smooth surface.
It says you will not see any curvature, a globe has curvature, thus it could not be a smooth globe.
Nowhere in the Bible does it call any solid structure the firmament. The firmament is the sky where the birds fly.
Your signature of God sitting upon the circle of the earth, the next part of that verse says He stretches the heaven as a curtain and as a tent. Curtains and tents are physical structures and definitely do not describe the globe model. Also Genesis 1:6 - 8 describes the heaven as a firmament, which divides waters from above and below this firmament. And when God flooded the earth, He opened windows or gates of heaven [54:11, Qur'an and Genesis 7:11] in order to let this water from above the firmament come down to the earth. This is describing a physical structure and does not agree with science, no scientist would even take you seriously if you used these verses yet you will continue to try to say the Bible agrees with science. It does not and neither does the Qur'an, for the Qur'an says
21:32, Qur'an
We made the heaven a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away.
No 2D object can exists in real life. Any thickness and it becomes a cylinder or disc.
You just agreed that a circle is not a sphere, you said give a circle 3 dimensions by giving it thickness and it becomes a cylinder or a disc, neither of these are globes, which was exactly my point. And if you look at the Hebrew for the word circle, it means circle or compass, not sphere or globe or ball.
