LOREN (I THINK) SURMISED THAT THE AUTHOR OF GENESIS HAD A FLAT-EARTH MENTALITY.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS THE CASE. MOST PEOPLE ASSUME THAT MOSES WAS THE HUMAN
WRITER OF GENESIS. IN THE BOOK OF JOB, REFERENCE IS MADE TO "THE CIRCLE OF THE
EARTH", INDICATING A ROUND EARTH. JOB PREDATED MOSES AS HE WAS THE SON OF ISSACHAR (OR A GRAND-SON OF JACOB). OF COURSE I AM SURMISING HERE THAT MOSES HAD
ACCESS TO THE WRITINGS OF JOB AND SAW THINGS THE SAME WAY.
