Guest guest Report post Posted January 27, 2003 Having spoken with a lot of atheists, I am always confronted with; "if it wasn't for scientific progress, we would still think that the earth was flat." Are there any vedic scripltures which gives information, directly or indirectly that says the earth is a sphere. Hari Bol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Streetstraw 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2003 Have u read 5th Canto? Difficult, no? Some conclude Earth is elliptic, others conic. SP quoted some Vedik verse using word gal or gol? meaning round - ball shaped. Has anyone flown around this Earth planet North to South? Was Admiral Byrd discredited? There's your answer.
