Do you suppose C. Columbus got his confidence from this?
How could an ancient man possibly figure out such an abstract?

If you study Kabbalah, you'll wonder how they understood the Big Bang theory that long ago!

That is totally easy to explain, You see GOD is the author of the Bible He clearly as that proof points out,gave the people He created the things to write.All the people basically were was secretaries.
If He cannot control a simple little thing such as a human brain,We would be in grave danger.Because the sun would explode or send off a huge solar flare propelling it at us or out of orbit. Take care and may GOD bless you.

The earth is not a circle. It is roughly spherical.
The ancient Greeks knew that the earth is spherical because:
> They saw ships disappear over the horizon and return.
> They saw that the earth sometimes casts a round shadow on the moon.

2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.
Jehovah inspired this, made this known.

What, are you dumb? The question has been answered. The ancients ALL knew the earth is round. Columbus AND his contemporaries knew it. The Greeks did. The Romans did. The Aztecs did. The Native Americans did. The Celts did. The only thing in question was the SIZE of the sphere.

A circle is round like a plate is round, and a globe or sphere is round like an orange is round!
If you go to the middle of a large desert and turn all the way around, it will become perfectly clear.

Guess he was inspired, but by what, who knows. But the truth is that the earth is not a circle, it's a sphere, although to be completely accurate it's an oblate spheroid, because it is slightly squashed at the poles.

Let alone Job saying this ball hangs on nothing!
Job 26:7
He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Well... considering the fact that the Earth is a sphere, and not a circle...
Do you even understand the difference between the two?

C Columbus definitely was motivated by Biblical beliefs from the descriptions I heard
