    He’s implying the writer of Genesis should have known that the flood only covered their area instead of writing the whole world. Because someone in Greece already calculated the circumference of the earth at the time.

    Either way the great flood is not just documented in the Torah which is interesting, and if findings are reported as true, it’s not the first documentation of the flood.

    Regardless, what was written and how the actual events transpired doesn’t break the writings or purpose of them in Christianity/Judaism

        Oh I wouldn’t know about the earth’s circumference being measured. The comment about calling Christianity backwards because of some “enlightened” idea that there were mathematicians during the time of (in their eyes) “magic” being reported is insensible. Atheists will atheist.
