Refuting Flat Earth Claims
In these articles we refute the illogical claims of a flat earth and prove from science and Scripture that Earth really is a globe.
A Round Earth, Natural Selection, and Dinosaurs
What do a round Earth, natural selection, and dinosaurs have in common? They are all things that are demonstrably true and biblical that some professing Christians deny. All of these things are mentioned or implied in Scripture. And they are scientifically provable. Yet, some Christians claim that such things are false or even anti-biblical! When Christians deny things that are observable, provable, and biblical, it is dishonoring to the Lord and makes unbelievers less likely to embrace the Christian worldview.
Is the Earth Really Round?
In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first manmade object to achieve earth orbit. People all over the world could see this satellite as it passed overhead. Sputnik was equipped with radio antennas to broadcast a series of pulses which could be detected by amateur radios. In the years that followed, many other spacecraft – some manned, some unmanned – were placed in earth orbit. Many of these took photographs of the earth. For the first time, human beings were able to see pictures of the earth from above. These pictures confirmed what the Bible had taught millennia earlier; the earth is round and hangs upon nothing (Job 26:7,10).
Debunking Flat-Earth Claims – Part 1
In this article, we will deal with the claims of a flat-earth advocate named Jeff. Jeff is a friend of a friend of mine, who objected to some of the proofs I gave that demonstrate the earth is spherical. Since Jeff’s claims have been refuted elsewhere, I agreed to answer them but only if I could post them publicly on this website so that others may benefit. Jeff graciously agreed.
Debunking Flat-Earth Claims – Part 2
We have been exploring the claims of a flat-earth advocate named Jeff. So far, his claims have not withstood mathematical scrutiny. The evidence we have explored so far has been completely consistent with a round earth, and refutes a flat earth. Here we continue to examine Jeff’s claims.
Debunking Flat-Earth Claims – Part 3
We have been examining the claims of a flat-earth advocate and found so far that all the evidence is consistent with a spherical earth with a radius of 3959 miles, and is inconsistent with a flat earth. We will continue to analyze Jeff’s claims (in purple font) below, along with my response in black.
Untwisting Scripture: Refuting Flat Earth Falsehoods
Christians have a moral obligation to rightly interpret God’s Word. We need to recognize and be ready to refute those who twist and misuse the holy Scriptures to promote false narratives. One example of such an abuse comes from those who claim that the Bible teaches a “flat” earth. On the one hand, this is such a ridiculous claim that it doesn’t seem worthy of a response. On the other hand, flat earthism has become almost a cult, drawing many people away from the true Gospel and making it more difficult for honest Christians to evangelize. In this series of articles, Pastor Jason Churchill exposes the fallacious eisegesis of those who promote flat earthism.
