Also, if you think the Bible says the earth was a flat circle, look again!!! Read revelation: the Hebrew word used for 'circle' simply means "round object" While it also says that "the angels traveled to the four corners..." How could a circle have four corners? Simple: North, South, East, And West. If a "round object" has those four dimensions, then it is OBVIOUSLY not a flat circle. (yet again you ignorrance to the Bible scairs me).
1) Hebrew had and has perfectly good words for 'sphere'. These words were not used. ( Isaiah himself used such a word in Isaiah 22:18. ) Tell me, have you looked up the word?

I see nothing spherical.

North, South, East, and West are only two dimensions. What you have indicated is a plane. Planes can have absolute directions like this. Sphere's can't. So if you are going to take it literally it damn sure is not a sphere. But I doubt Isaiah was so mathematically inclined and just chose a word indicating what he saw-- the world extending to the horizon in all directions. He may not have even been trying to indicate the shape of the world, but he certainly didn't inply a globe with his choice of words.

Your ignorance of geometry scares me.
