This is second class is designed to go through biblical and scientific evidence presented for a flat earth is fourfold and includes 1) the firmament, 2) the waters and the heavens above, 3) the earth being immovable, and 4) specific texts that refer to a flat earth. This class will present the evidence by placing ideas from different verses together, and by presenting accompanying assumptions as well as a biblical evaluation. The evaluation will draw from a range of scholarships to minimize bias.

• We will look at how the ancient Hebrews had the Egyptians to the southwest and the Babylonians to the northeast. Both civilizations had flat-earth cosmologies. The Biblical cosmology closely parallels the Sumero-Babylonian cosmology, and it may also draw upon Egyptian cosmology. 
• We will explore how the Genesis creation story provides the first key to the Hebrew cosmology. The order of creation makes no sense from a conventional perspective but is perfectly logical from a flat-earth viewpoint.
• We will look at a range of original sources, history of flat-Earth beliefs---from the Babylonians to the present day---raises issues central to the history and philosophy of science, and its relationship to the Bible.

• We will explore scriptures that are commonly cited by geocentrists and flat-earthers. The Biblical view is geocentricity with further restrictions. There are very few scriptures that support the earth's sphericity in the Bible.
• We will look at the order of creation, the vault of heaven (firmament), the shape of the earth, celestial bodies, sun, moon, stars, the Book of Enoch. 
• In the class we will study the Bible in its literary context as well as in its ancient historical, religious, social and cultural context. The Bible was not written with twenty-first-century concerns or questions in mind. The Bible was written in Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic to ancient peoples who lived in the wider Mediterranean society.
• 8 Weeks of Instructions.
