Or are they actually humans?


The eyebrow ridge is one of the only parts of the body that grow for the entire life span. Cavemen that are found frozen or mummified
are called cavemen because of the brow ridge, and other bone structural qualities. But think about if people lived to be up to 500 years old?
they would certainly look different, and if the Bible is true, (states that people lived to be up to 900 years old) then this would definitely disrupt
some scientific theories.

Thoughts on this?

most bible scholars believe that the use of the word "circle" (חוּג) in this passage refers to the arch of heaven, not a globe.
based on the hebrew word used in other passages.

of course, we did not even discuss that the bible was written and assembled by men, based from ancient languages' translations that no one really speaks anymore...

It's a huge misconception that humanity thought the Earth was flat in the 1500's. The ancient greeks calculated the circumference of the Earth with surprising accuracy around 300 BC (see Eratosthenes). The whole thing with Columbus wasn't that people thought he would fall off the planet. It was that people knew about how far away Asia was and did not know there was a continent in the middle. They thought the odds were fairly good that any expedition sent westward would fail because people would die before they ever found land.

The Bible is still full of shit.

Good thing it isn't.

Well, that settles this thread, then.

Humanity has known the Earth was not flat for over two millennia, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Bible said the world was round. However, read post #4. This passage doesn't refer to the shape of the planet.
