We live on a flat plane. The Sun and the Moon are lights that go around the Earth.

either you're trolling us all, or you have serious issues. either way, LOL

I don't know about Gurbani mentioning this ਧਰਤੀ being round, but we have simple science in baanis we read everyday.

For example, we have the tuk in Sohila Sahib:

ਵਿਸੁਏ ਚਸਿਆ ਘੜੀਆ ਪਹਰਾ ਥਿਤੀ ਵਾਰੀ ਮਾਹੁ ਹੋਆ ॥
ਸੂਰਜੁ ਏਕੋ ਰੁਤਿ ਅਨੇਕ ॥

Guru Sahib is telling us that time keeping and the seasons are based on the sun. For example, the year is defined by a complete revolution around the sun, and the seasons are determined by the tilt of the Earth's axis which causes less/more of the Suns's light to be applied, which causes seasons.

Flat Eathers are a joke, their conspiracies are full of inaccuracies and nonsense.

Does anyone know of any Gurbani which describes the shape of the world?

I know of the pankti in Sri Sukhmani Sahib which states the world has 4 corners

"nimukh mahi chaar kunt fir aave"

i would say, any shapes, and stuff about thousand lotus feet, is all describing the earth, in more ways than one, --- if youre looking for an exact answer, like guru saying the earth is round not flat, then youre looking in the wrong place.

[puzzled]

on ang 133 the translations say 4 corners    kunt means point/peak?    some people say the earth has a dome on it.

what ever gurbani says thats the truth. 

[puzzled]

some other faiths say the same thing,   i think the vedas say the earth and heavens are a flat disk

Ever projected yourself astrally? That'll clear up any doubts.

Why?

Also, why do you want a Gurbani line to tell you? I mean, do you require a Gurbani tuk to tell you that grass is green and the sky is blue? You could just look.

I don't know if there is, but why does it matter? Is this an attempt to compete with Muslims or other religions that try to prove themselves with science?

Best answer. The Muslims come out with their interminable essays about Allah, science and the Koran. And embryology and so forth. Who cares?

Yeah, I've always considered Sikhi to be above that kind of base, point-scoring nonsense that certain other faiths enjoy peddling in order to legitimise their teachings.

Agreed.

I think the other faiths do that in reverse proportion to the amount of spirituality that they have (or that subgroups within those faiths have).

"If our Gurus were mulling over what two men got up to behind closed doors and then passing edicts on such matters, instead of focusing on revealing the universal truths of humanity and divinity, as well as conducting the incessant fight for survival in the face of the hostile and barbaric Islamic rule of those times, I'd seriously have to question their godliness, lol.

Sorry to hear you say that, bro.

For a tough-nosed realist, it's surprising to see you cheering on exactly the sort of social ills that have lead to Western society dying. I mean, they can't even reproduce themselves.

As far as "closed doors", you certainly know that God is concerned with what goes on behind closed doors, right?

ਦੇਇ ਕਿਵਾੜ ਅਨਿਕ ਪੜਦੇ ਮਹਿ ਪਰ ਦਾਰਾ ਸੰਗਿ ਫਾਕੈ ॥

ਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਗੁਪਤੁ ਜਬ ਲੇਖਾ ਮਾਗਹਿ ਤਬ ਕਉਣੁ ਪੜਦਾ ਤੇਰਾ ਢਾਕੈ ॥੩॥

p616

I surely hope that God is godly? What gives, bro?

I was being facetious, i.e. sarcastic. 

To be fair, you quoted something that's not exactly recent, and I've developed my opinions and thoughts on the subject since that time. So, while I don't believe throwing them off buildings, stoning them, or whatever course of action others might look to as a solution, is acceptable, IMO medieval homosexuality was a non-issue for non-gay society. (The same can't be said for the propaganda-driven "acceptance" movement hounding contemporary society.)

Therefore, of ALL the immediate and pressing issues facing the Punjabi people during the times of our Gurus, if they had prioritised two men bumming each other, wouldn't that strike you as base and unsophisticated thinking? Would you not begin to wonder that, out of all the myriad problems facing humans at that time, what exactly prompted that particular subject to emerge as a frontrunner on which we needed to be directed? It's the kind of thought a flawed human prioritises as important, not an incarnation of God.

Perhaps when the issue of survival has been settled and the pressing matters of freedom, justice, and spirituality have all been established, then I might agree with expanding the field of discussion into other minor areas of conduct, but in a period of history when Sikh children were being dismembered and their limbs were being chained and hung as necklaces around their mother's necks, I'd begin to worry if the prevailing sentiment emanating from divine leadership was about how to curb the gay.
