The Bible also did not say the earth is round. The Bible did insinuate the earth is more like a dome. Whatever... I'm here to read about vacc and such, we got more serious issues at hand.
The Bible doesn’t say the earth is a dome either. The firmament being a solid canopy is a modern invention.
Where the Bible is silent, reason and scientific evidence must be used, and all of it points to a spherical earth. The best explanation for the firmament, then, is that it is the solid crust of the earth. This crust used to be connected all the way around the earth and had an ocean of water trapped underneath it. Genesis records that God called the firmament “heaven” because Earth was supposed to be heaven, the place where God dwelled with men. And one day it will be that way again.
During the Flood, this crust ruptured, allowing the “fountains of the deep” to break out and cover the earth in water.
The Bible doesn’t say the earth is flat, despite multiple attempts to twist its words to fit flat earth theory.
