Comments by "Ozzy Perez" (@OzzyTheGiant) on "Flat Earthers vs Scientists: Can We Trust Science? | Middle Ground" video.

  1. My thoughts on this video: The refutal against the flat earth notion that the Earth has edges because Job 38:14 specifies it is that Isaiah 40:22 describes the Earth as a circle and Job 26: 7 specifies that the Earth is suspended upon nothing (floating in space). Mind you that these verses were written thousands of years before Galileo and others even proposed the idea of a round earth but when you look at these scriptures and compare it to the scientific evidence, the Earth was being described as a globe this whole time. So what this means for Job 38: 14 is that the Earth "took shape like" a clay in the sense that it was transformed into what it is now, not that it literally was formed to have edges nor did it come to be as if someone was using pottery tools. This was merely a figure of speech; Job was likely looking at the Earth spinning the way clay/pottery spins in a pottery wheel. As for refuting the notion that the Bible is not a book of science, it's true that the Bible doesn't focus much on science but what little scriptures it has on that subject remain accurate to our understanding of the Earth and its spherical shape. This gives us reason to trust the Bible if one is to follow its principles. The lady that said she converted to flat-earth movement, to be honest, I think that because she lost her husband and has been looking for ways to grieve, it's possible that this woman uses the flat-earth movement as a way to hold on to "a piece of him". When we lose loved ones, it's always a shock and a tragedy to us because it destroys our reality and our physical mind has to rewire our neurons to deal with this sudden change in reality, so when trying to grieve, she must have sought comfort by trying to believe in Flat Earth as if in a way it would help her feel connected to her late husband. I feel like I'm always the only one sitting between both groups because both groups in my opinion, are not looking at things correctly.
