Were our ancestors right?

No. They were wrong.

The Earth isn't flat.

Farfalla:


No. They were wrong.

The Earth isn't flat.

Strictly your opinion, with no real scientific backing.

Show us a picture of the Earth that is not computer-generated. None exist. Even NASA admits that its Earth images are computer-generated composites. Strange when you consider they claim to be in outer space a lot, with their space stations and shuttles that could easily send us genuine photos, but don't.

The reason they can't is that there may be no 'outer space' at all, and all their craft are simply orbiting the outer reaches of the Earth atmosphere above which is a hard, impenetrable metallic dome. The dome is actually recognised by modern science, and is called the Van Allen belts, although they describe it as a 'thick radiation field'. No pictorial evidence has ever been presented of reality beyond the Van Allen belts, meaning they haven't been able to penetrate it. That is why we only have computer generated images of the 'spherical earth' sitting in 'outer space'.

"Suspended on nothing" could mean it's just floating inside a huge ocean.

IFA creation accounts never mentioned the Earth was a globe either. I think the people back then would have found it odd to have to mention that the earth was flat, since that was what everyone believed. Trust me, your ancestors did not think the earth was a globe.

The universe is round like an egg, just like IFA divination plate. But the earth is more flat that being round like the universe.

No. They were wrong.

No African ancestors even said that
The guy knows nothing about African cultures, he's most likely never even been to Africa

Farfalla:


No. They were wrong.

The Earth isn't flat.

The ancestors of the Yorubas never mentioned flat earth and not wrong.

The Yoruba ancestors acknowledge rotation of sun round the earth in Ifa stanzas. Infact, the division of earth is in same pattern as science has shown it to be

Interesting.

Farfalla:


Interesting.

Yeah it is true. But non studious attitude of us as we ought to do make it look as if cosmology is not well taken care of or studied by our Yoruba ancestors as others did in the world.
