Refuting a common atheistic lie, spouted by Christianity-haters from the 19th century to Dawkins and Obama today: Summary * Almost all the early and medieval church scholars who commented on the earth’s shape explicitly said it was round. * Medieval European rulers used a golden sphere or orb called the globus cruciger to represent the earth under Christ’s rule. * Columbus’s opponents never disputed the shape of the earth, but only its size—and they were right! * The flat earth myth began with a fictional account of Columbus in the 19th century by Washington Irving. Then it was aggressively pushed in influential anti-Christian polemics by Draper and White. * A final irony: the leading flat-earther today is an evolutionist.
