You call God's creation imperfect, just because you do not understand certain things. The way God made everything is just a perfect calendar. And our lack of understanding doesn't take away from His perfect creation
Here is a drawing of how the Bible describes the earth, it can also be found in many old Bibles.
The true scientists, aviationists, and such forth who know, must keep quiet or they are blacklisted and slandered to destroy any credibility of that which they know = as well as loss of employment = permanently in their fields.
As for NASA, it is more and more obvious that you are as much as obsessed with their works, even blindly so. Which explains a lot. But truthfully, believing NASA--if their actions are ever fully known--simply, potentially makes one a victim, even innocent, as a child is innocent that believes people who's actions should be good when they are not.
And there isn't even any teaching about the shape of the earth in scripture that I have ever seen. People seem to be extrapolating their own conclusions from isolated scriptures, which they are taking too literally. For example, is God literally "sitting" on the earth somewhere? ;) That is just a way of describing rest....the earth is His footstool....denoting rest. He created this world, He "framed" it all and set everything in motion, and then sat down and put His feet up, so to speak...rested. Like where Jesus said the farmer plants his field and then goes to sleep at night (rests) and the crop grows up of itself until the harvest, he knoweth not how.
Makes me wonder if our beloved flat-earthers think (feel) the Bible is in error if they embrace a round earth.
I can imagine that.
Here is where scripture gives us the best view of how earth appears . Now watch this real closely my friend .Where does Scripture states that "Earth is flat" ?
it is based on sea levelHow far up can a pilot go? I am guessing it is based on sea level or does it pertain to the distance from land to some magical point in the sky with rainbow unicorns?
Why is the atmosphere thinner as you go higher above the sea level? Those climbing Mt. Everest generally bring oxygen. Why do you need to bake a cake differently at high altitudes?
Your Bible is flat = RIGHT, there proves flat earth

@amigo de christoHere is where scripture gives us the best view of how earth appears . Now watch this real closely my friend .
IT is HE who sits upon the CIRCLE of the earth . Circle equals round .
Now as far as all this other stuff flat earth verses this or that , dont you find that all
just a waste of focus . i mean i am sure some beleive it to be flat. Seeing
i cannot see it for myself from above , all i can do is just do as with the knowledge given in scripture .
I KNOW its round . Many make an honest mistake
by thinking when the phrase from the four corners of the earth , means it was flat .
honestly this was a phrase in english
to simply mean from east , west , south , north . When a threat was made
That it will come against you from the four corners of the earth ,
that simply meant its coming at you from all directions and there is no escape . that is an english phrase .
However i can understand why some would think it was flat due to the language .
But i would then invite them to read ISSIAH . which clearly states its a circle . iT is round .

Yeap the Earth is a planet and like other planets, moons and suns it is round.Alright... supposing the Earth is a sphere which does not orbit the Sun, as you move about the sphere, in what direction would you fall and what force is pulling you?
Supposing the Earth is flat, just a flat plain not in motion. What force pulls me back to the surface when I jump?

God declared DNA in Genesis = chapters 1 thru 8Yeshua mission was to save souls but he was communicating with an ancient people. If he tried to explain DNA or the Laws of physics Quantum mechanics or the cosmos He would of confused them. Something as clear as the Bread and Wine ritual blew their minds. His Apostles were shocked and He lost a lot of his disciples. So the scriptures went with the perspective of the times and they believe the world was flat.
Why did the Jews and Christians believe that the world was flat and the sun and moon and stars moved around it? Why did they believe the world was on a fixed foundation? And why did sailors worry about sailing off the end of the world?
It wasn’t just the Jews and Christians; it was a common belief of the time period. And you will see a lot of references to “ the ends of the world and ends of the earth” The phrase mean something entirely different to us because we know the planet is round but, back then it was a fear…..of falling off the ends of the world….particularly for sailors.
The scriptures detail the earth stationary and flat and on a foundation.
According to these scriptures the earth has a foundation….and it was set on pillars that could be shaken but the earth could not move and the sun and moon moved around it….and if an object was tall enough it could be seen from the four corners of the earth because the earth was flat….and it had corners….and the sun and moon can stop traveling around the flat earth…. and heaven has windows.
1st Chronicles 16:30
Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved….. (They believed that the Earth did not rotate or move….. everything… sun, moon, and stars, orbits the earth.)
Psalm 104:5
He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
1st Samuel 2:8
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s; on them he has set the world.
Daniel 4:11
The tree grew large and became strong And its height reached to the sky, And it was visible to the end of the whole earth. The earth would have to be flat for the tree to be visible from the whole earth.
Isaiah 11:12
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth….
Revelation 7:1
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree…..The earth has corners,
Job 28:24
For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
Job 37:3
He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth……..the earth has ends?
Jeremiah 51:16
When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
John 17:24
Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
Proverbs 30:4
Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth?
Psalm 19:4-6
Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
Psalm 67:7
God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!
Psalm 98:3
He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Jeremiah 16:19
O Lord, my strength and my stronghold, my refuge in the day of trouble, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the earth and say: “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, worthless things in which there is no profit.
1st Samuel 2:10
The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the power of his anointed.”
Psalm 19:4
Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
(The ends of the world…..the ends of the earth….the four corners!! This was a big concern with sailors….that they would fall off the end of the world.)
Genesis 7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened……(windows in the filament?)
Genesis 7:2
The fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained,

He who flees at the sound of the terror shall fall into the pit, and he who climbs out of the pit shall be caught in the snare. For the windows of heaven are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
Proverbs 8:29
And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day.
Psalms 75:3
When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars.…(the earth set on pillars?)
Job 9:6
Who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble;
Ecclesiastes 1:5
The sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises……(there is a place where the sun rises?)
Habukkuk 3:11
The sun and moon stood still in their place at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear.
Joshua 10:12-13
At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day……
It would be that the earth stopped rotating not the sun and moon stopping.
Over the years science has proven a lot of what in the Old Testament is true. But there is the human perspective of trying to explain and understand some events.
Since God CANNOT lie, both must be true. Ask Him. He answers when we ask. Some have explained the word "circle" also to mean "compass." But regardless, it's possible that the earth has both a square (with corners) and a circle ...possibly a square base with pillars and foundations ...and that the actual living area of earth as a circle (inside the square).have some citing the scripture that speaks of the four corners of the earth, and others cite the scripture that says God sits on the circle of the earth. So which is it I wonder? ;) Does a circle have corners?
Good Morning ScottAThat's just wrong, or worse, a lie. I have given no such estimation.
