Let's look at the way the Bible describes the geography and wind-related meteorological phenomena of the Earth.

The literalists approach to the Bible should leave the reader concluding that the Earth has literally four corners, no more and no less, and if more than four corners are found, then there's a problem with reality.

Isaiah 11:12
12...the four corners of the earth.

Ezekiel 37:9
9...the four winds...

Winds & corners indicate four directions. North, South, East & West. That is all.

To answer the title question; yes. In regard to the poll, I do not know if it is precisely 90 degree angles, but I chose that option because it is the closest option to saying yes, i am aware of what God says about the corners of the earth and the four winds and the angels appointed by God to tend the winds.

Consider the possibility that there actually does exist a 'four winds' that "blow continually" from the 'four corners' of the earth - and, that they are directly responsible for the jet stream patterns - and, ultimately, affecting all atmospheric air flow.

Consider that - if God "turned them off" - you would end up with the scenario indicated in Revelation 7:1.

No, the Bible does not state that the earth is flat; however, because of what it does say/state, we know that we are not "on a spinning ball flying through space"...

For example, the Bible tells us that the earth is stationary and does not move.

That's a bit of a wink to the theory of relatively. When everything is going the same speed then it appears to be stationary. It is only when something moves at a speed relative to other objects that anything can be seen to be moving at all.
