Oh goodie. Antediluvian nonsense, again.
B.S. like this amounts to saying: "science hasn't figured it out yet, so we're going to go with what a bunch of ignoramuses who had no inkling the Earth was even round had to say about the matter several thousand years ago; the same sort of people who fervently believed God wanted men to whack off bits of their willies as a sign of fealty to Him and that menstruating women were unclean and could poison everything with just a touch.
p.s., just in case you hadn't noticed: these are the same sorts of irrational beliefs the Muslims you so dislike today continue to hold.
