Aristotle mentioned that the Earth was round in 350 BC. Eratosthenes computed the radius of the spherical Earth in ~240 BC. Dante Alighieri presented the Earth as being spherical in his "Divine Comedy" in 1320. Magellan proved the Earth was spherical by circumnavigation in 1521 AD. The Society of Jesus (Jesuits) was formed in 1540, late to the party by nearly two millennia.
Since then, of course, we have continually circumnavigated the globe by sea and air and space travel. (The stars cover the heavens in all directions, and we can see them all simultaneously at different locations on the globe.)
The only thing that is here debunked is your ignorant allegation that it all came from the Jesuits and not from actual observation and discovery. Moreover, there is nothing in the Book of Genesis that speaks against the truth of a spherical Earth. Nor has Jesus arrived to herald the End Times. You are so filled with what you want to be true, you have no room in mind and heart for the truth itself.

Might this be describing you as well? I am not saying it's either flat or round. I have seen evidence of both. There is a third answer we can all agree on though. We have our beliefs but we truly can't know. The truth has been so polluted over the centuries that I don't think we can really say anything we can't observe is fact and then even some things we observe may not be what they seem.
We are in the End Times and living through the Apocalypse - everything will be revealed and will be Biblical.
But just toss out Genesis and the description how God created the earth that has been debunked since the Jesuits invented the globe.

How does this have so many downvotes? Seems like the most open-minded answer possible.
