Exactly, in that day, the world was limited, at that time, Alexander had conquered all of the known world...yet there were people (not the governments that are there today) in the Americas.
Also, I may have a limited understanding of this verse, but shouldn't we have at least one other verse that confirms a supposed interpretation before making a decision regarding doctrine?
Another thing, "preached to every creature which is under heaven." I don't think it would be wise to interpret that phrase literally...because had the gospel been preached to every frog, horse, dog, and fungi? I think Paul is being poetic here. If everybody had heard Jesus's gospel, wouldn't there have been Christians (at least one?) in America before the Vikings discovered it?
