Did God give us privy to that info?
Is HE obligated to answer all your questions?
Have you not learned from Job?
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
2“Who is this who darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
3Now prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall answer Me.
4“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
5Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know!
Or who stretched the]line upon it?
6To what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone,
7When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8“Or who shut in the sea with doors,
When it burst forth and issued from the womb;
9When I made the clouds its garment,
And thick darkness its swaddling band;
10When I fixed My limit for it,
And set bars and doors;
11When I said,
‘This far you may come, but no farther,
And here your proud waves must stop!’

There was no straightforward demonstration of Earth's motion until 1725 when James Bradley
discovered stellar aberration. This is yearly change in positions of all stars in the sky due to
Earth's own motion. Aberration arises due to adding up the speed of light coming from the
star and Earth's own speed. This is a very complex phenomenon and its description requires
some math. Another much simpler consequence of Earth's motion is stellar parallax. If Earth
changes its position relative to the stars, then the stars should appear to change position in
the course of the year. Parallax of a star was first measured by Bessel in 1838, and should not
be confused with aberration: parallax arises from the change of Earth's position and depends
on the distance to the star, while aberration is caused by Earth's great speed and does not
depend on how far the star is. source I may never agree with nor understand why you are a flat
earther but I do appreciate your heart for God, even while we interpret His Word in different ways.

I appreciate your irenic tone, but your post gives me nothing to ponder, except the unfortunate state of your understanding of actual physics.
"Weight" is governed by gravity whereas Mass is independent of gravity or any other force.
You make claims and provide nothing in the way of evidence to support your claims.
Your statement, "The 'theory of gravity' is easily repudiated by the Law of Physics = WATER" might be deeply meaningful to you, but is meaningless blather to me. Water is not the "Law of Physics".
Please either provide evidentiary support for your claims, or question quietly whether they warrant repeating.

Discovering the creation is not a challenge to God's sovereignty as the creator.
He told Adam & Eve to go out, fill the Earth & subdue it. He made the sun, moon & stars to light the earth and give us a way
to mark the passage of time. He didn't tell us not to look at how it all functions.

Thank you Lucy for your love and Holy Spirit truth that is in you.
Isaac Newton was a globalist and occultist = please read up on his true beliefs/interests and studies.
Many a occultist will 'believe' the bible and quote from it.
Have you considered the great expanse of these words of our LORD who said: "wolves in sheeps clothing"
Peace

According to Scripture, it is the Order of God that brings about changes in the courses of the sun, moon and stars as well as weather patterns and ocean movement on earth.
i choose to believe the Word as my world view and truth.
Globalists/satanist/occultists have their own agenda when they use 'science' to establish their belief system for unregenerate man to be subject to. Ultimately bringing us to the Mark.
There is true science and there is altered science.
Theories are theories and should never be accepted as scientific fact/truth until it can be observed, proven and validated.
Laws are law and God uses His laws to govern the heavens, weather, ocean movements, wildlife, and such as pertains to His Glory in Salvation and Judgment.
a.) The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
b.) For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
c.) For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

Actually it is the Holy Ghost that is the teacher. Not sure what copyrighted interpretation you are quoting from yet the
'cloud' that covers the earth like a garment is the the firmament, or rather the earth's atmosphere.
Thus the bow set in the cloud in Genesis 9:16 is the curvature of the earth's atmosphere above the surface of this spherical planet. All you need to do is look at the other planets in expanse to see they are spherical in form as well. Maybe that is the reason it is written that the LORD said that when he looked upon it.
But even if you want to say it was the rainbow, the multicolor band is the result of light refraction. Light refraction does not cause the multicolored band to bow. Light refraction causes the light to change it path of travel according to the the angle it is refracted. The bow of the multicolored band of refracted light is the result of the curvature of the earth's atmosphere.

There is no verse saying the earth is flat. Period. You keep arguing against this
