Psalm 104:5@Earth_is-
I do not need NASA to tell me that the Earth is round, I do not need the Bible telling me that it is flat. I can figure that out myself.
As part of my sailing qualification, I was taught to navigate without electronics in the event of a system failure. So get a fix using a sextant, then calculate the position. The math would not work with a flat earth.
Also there is the wind. On a long passage one deviates from the most direct route to get better trade winds. Sometimes by hundreds of nautical miles. On a flat earth, winds would go in a straight line, from the high pressure area, to a low pressure area. Simple physics. However winds do not act like this, they arch. They arch because of Coriolis, cause by the rotating earth. Which is annoying because one is constantly adjusting the sails, and course to get a better angle. They are pieces on the sails called telltales, that, well, tell the tale of the wind.
He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.
Psalm 19:6
6 The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat.
Earth does not move. It’s the sun and moon that move around the earth. Both - the sun and moon - are not millions of miles away. They are very local. Very close to the earth. So your entire understanding of cosmology is a perversion. Best lies start in the classroom when we are too young to question the adults.
