If God is not real, how can the Earth be a sphere with 4 corners?

Question

I'm told this Earth is a so-called "sphere." Even so, how can it have 4 corners if not by God's divine will?

I'm just quoting the Bible:) lol. This is fun.

Answer 1

pillock.
The earth has "four corners" because people used to think it was flat, and that you could fall off the edge of it.
Technically, it's not quite spherical either though.

Answer 2

I hate to flame someone, but WHY do you have a top contributor status?

The four corners of the earth is also a metaphorical expression of the four directions North, South, East, West. (And yes, I know that if you go east or west, you will always be going east or west.)

Answer 3

Hey, I watched an old re-run of "The Craft" the other night.
Those four girls (witches) "called the corners", and they got an answer, so obviously, "the corners" must exist.

Answer 4

Because the cabbage is a jaguars paw.

I'm sorry, I guessed from your question that you LIKED babbling nonsense. Quarters you nimwit, not corners.

Answer 5

I think God was being metaphorical. Or sarcastic, he could have been sarcastic, you know.

Well, it'd be more of a figure of speech than a metaphor. But you get my point.

Answer 6

Have you been to school, ever?
The earth is spherical (globe) shaped. There are no corners.

Answer 7

maybe God didn't develop the concept of mathematics, Man made math (unfortunately) so God can probably say whatever he likes...and still not have a clue

Answer 8

The man on the moon was going to whisper the answer in my ear, but his breath smelled like cheese and I turned away.

Answer 9

Don't you get it all mistakes in the bible mean they are just metaphors. that's how they know they are metaphors. Or just a bunch of lies.

Answer 10

Wow, the Christian right could use more philosophers like you.
