The argument over the shape of the earth seems too simplistic, too good to be true…

Trying to find out the shape of the earth is like trying to find out how old time is, isn’t it? Time has no age and earth has no shape. Earth is existence itself.

Amongst abstract concepts we have micro and macro objects:

Micro objects = plants, households, rocks etc.

Macro = money, natural systems and earth

You cannot apply micro rules to macro phenomena. To do so is an example of the composition fallacy. It is illogical to assume that because everything we see in real life has a shape, that the earth must also have a shape.

I used to believe that the universe was 14 billion years old and that earth was 4 billion years old… If they could claim that life is billions of years old, with no evidence, then who knows what else has slipped under our radar?

**If a child was given no information about our natural world, would they assume that the earth had a particular shape?**

It is difficult to conceptually imagine earth being shapeless, but we have to admit that some things are beyond human comprehension.

Earth’s lack of shape may be one of those things…
