Man has only ever seen 1 side of the moon, so how do we know it is not just a disc in space?
Discounting any evidence given by science of course.

I'll address Rap1361's observation
Isaiah 40"22
It is God who sits above the circle of the earth.
Nothing about spheres there.
Job 26:7
God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing.

The only things I know for sure about the moon for sure are the following:
1) It's made of green cheese.
2) Alice Kramden will be sent there one day with a bang and a zoom.
3) NASA pretended to send people there in 1969.
4) It is very important to my astrological charts. Today it tells me "A potential romantic interest isn't what they appear. If someone else has some unconscious resistance, the appropriate response is not unrealistic optimism. Slow down and take a clear-eyed look at the situation."
5) It was named after a type of small 'pie'.

Wow, I have never met anybody who lives in 2 dimensional world before. You might want to brush up on the math of Archemedes. He figured out the circumferance of the Earth about 212 BC and the earth is obviously a 3 dimensional object and a 3 dimensional circle is called a sphere, then the Earth is a sphere. The same math applies to the moon.

Discounting evidence of science- yes, it very well could be... we have not walked on it ourselves... so we really do not know. We have the word of others.
I am pretty sure that (coming from you) this has got to be some sort of way of saying... discounting any evidence... could there be a god??? nope because there is still no evidence to discount... LoL... even though we have the words of others...
This is why we distrust the words of others... they provide no proof of their words.
The moon though, I do believe is round... because I am pretty sure the world is... however, at some point everyone thought the world was flat, too. How do we know it's not really a square or an oval? Because pictures (which can be atlered) show us that it is round... I am sure they had some pictures of the world flat too! LoL>>>Great question that has gotten me thinking.

well the earth being described as a sphere comes as early as 745 bc. by the prophet Isaih chapter 40 v22. then it is also described by Job 26;7 as hanging in space. The bible is filled with Gods knowledge some day man will catch up to it.

Because we know the moon has mass and a 2 dimensional object can't have very much mass. If the moon didn't have all that mass, then we would have a lot of bored surfers out in California and Hawaii!!!

This man tells lies.
The Bible does not tell us the moon is a sphere.

We orbited the Moon - you know, the Apollo Moon landings? There are lunar globes available.

couldn't you be a christian in disguise. thinking that through reverse psychology you might save one soul. but then i must ask; is the disobedience of God's command worth that one soul? doesn't that defeat the purpose!

i dont know if this is true... but i think that as u look closer to the edges it will get a tiny bit darker because it is slightly farther away
