... The Earth is Flat Physical limitation? - Because we interpret it as a flat earth because it is how we see it. Our eyes can't see the curvature of the spherical earth. Misinterpretation of sense datum? - It's not a misinterpretation because we can't see the curve in the earth, we only see the flat earth 1. The Misperception -The Earth is Flat 2. Reasons for the misperception -we cannot see the curvature of the earth because we are simply too small -how can the seas possibly be curved? -how could the earth possibly be round? People would slide off. The Bible -the Bible describes an immovable earth -1 Chronicles 16:30 "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable." -Psalm 96:10: " He has fixed the earth firm, immovable..." - Psalm 104:2-3: "Though didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken." -Isaiah 45:18: "...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast." -all these thoughts agree
