@@cindychristman8708 No, to my knowledge it is accurate. Carrier is an excellent researcher. It only occurred to me that since Plato's theory of "Forms" sounds very similar, to wonder if one theory influenced the other in the minds of people of that period. Of course both are inaccurate!

*Amazingly recently scientists upgraded earth's atmosphere: Tiny wisps of Earth air stretch way out into deep space, far beyond the moon's orbit, a new study suggests. Earth's "geocorona" - a tenuous cloud of hydrogen atoms - extends up to 390,000 miles (630,000 kilometers) into space, according to the new research* *Damn now I gotta start thinking flat....*
How cool would it be if the celestial heavens were really like what they believed and like is reflected in a lot of the early science fiction of the 1920s and thirties.
One of the many problems I began to notice as I was losing my faith was the expectation to believe a ton of irrational crap.
That was an excellent synopsis explanation of the message of the NT. Quick and to the point. I found no errors. Impressive!
Exactly!

Ancient Christian cosmology has been recycled and well and truly sent up in Terry Pratchett novels!
It’s unreal many are going back to this stupid idea of a flat earth.
*Isaiah 31:9 **_the YHWH, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem_** plainly shows that hellfire is the city of YHWH*
