How is it that the ancient Bible describes the circulation of the atmosphere?
How is it that the ancient Bible includes some principles of fluid dynamics?
How is it that the ancient Bible includes reasonably complete descriptions of the hydrologic cycle?
It also talks about during Noah’s time in Genesis 7:11 "…were all the fountains of the great deep broken up….," alluding to the water and hydrothermal vents beneath the ocean floor. These were only discovered in the last few decades.

Jerry, you are grasping at straws. The Bible is a work of fiction about a made-up deity.

When I was in school, we were taught to ask sensible and complete questions with examples and references.
I guess they don’t do that anymore.

next thing you know, we’ll have people on here claiming the Koran explained quantum mechanics 1500 years ago.

How is that the Bible depicts the world as a circle rather than a sphere even though Hebrews understood the distinction and had separate words for them.

Lucky guess.
Not all of ancient thought was out of place or stupid. Look at the ancient greeks. They understood basic physics. Just because it it is in the Bible does not mean the Bible is divinely inspired.

Did you know primitive man could navigate the winds of the oceans and even map them out. The Africans, pacific islanders, they crossed great expanses of ocean, their faith not in god but a map of the winds.
