Actually, it's stated in the bible that the world was round, and they knew it then. In Psalms, David speaks of god looking over the "sphere of the earth". The belief of "hell" is actually a common misconception too. The word used in the bible where the word hell is used is "sheol" in the original translations. Gehenna, the burning, the fire and brimstone was an actual place. The people would throw their refuse over the walls of the city into a pile of continually burning rubbish, that was stocked with brimstone in order to keep it burning. The literal translation of the word "sheol" was a pit in the ground. It had nothing to do with a burning afterlife. Hades, the greek translation of the word "sheol" was actually not an exact or literal translation. If you check back to the original manuscripts or the more accurate translations available, as well as reference manuals contemporary to the period, you will see that I am correct.

What exactly do you think the ancients MADE huge boats from? It's a well known fact that many biblical and contemporary peoples were accomplished mariners and used large boats in order to travel. There ARE ways to build boats without metal straps, nails, or boats. Ask people who still live in the medeterranian today and I'm sure they would be glad to fill you in. Or is the archeological evidence that people DID have large-scale seaworthy vessels thousands of years ago not convincing enough for you? I'm not saying I believe the ark story happened as it said, but the possibility of building such a vessel is most certainly not a doubtful one. If you're going to attempt to disprove biblical events, perhaps you should try a little more research of your own. Many biblical events HAVE a place in fact and archaeology proves this. As I've said before though, the events do not always occur HOW or WHY it claims they did, and some surely are flights of religous fancy.
