Here we find further argument for Gotagga’s supposition that the world is round. How else could all men stand higher than their brothers?

About This Quote

This quote is the following one from the Bible: “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.” The Bible is a very inconsistent book. Sometimes it states a fact and then contradicts itself later on in the same paragraph. In this case, God sees everything that he has made and then says that everything is very good.

It is only on the next day that he sees that everything he has made is not very good. God must have been very inconsistent when he described his creations on the first three days of creation.
