It seems to me that it is possible for Someone who can manage to create the universe to put a dome on a sphere or a dodecahedron or a proton or a cheesecake. How is your logic here markedly different from someone who says reincarnation is false because there weren't enough people who died to become the current people who are alive? Ascribing the laws of physics, conservation of mass, linearity, cause and effect to unicorns and moonbeams is so............ unselfconscious. My God doesn't particularly appreciate me limiting Him with my pedantic existential confusion. I am invited to remember that He and Grace and the HS are greater than my understanding. He can make as many conflicting things true at once as there are molecules in my body.

You can have a firmament dome over our heads on a globe. Or a flat. Or a concave. Or a ripple chip.

Arguing about the limitations of God is probably not our best course. Let's pray for Grace and whatever else we need.

Note: I have only commented on your argument, not on your theory. Most people think it's a psyop to make us look stupid. If flat earth is arguments that unduly extrapolate human limitations onto God, it's fake. Science things that have a fringe of followers with imperfect and non representative understanding also have a core of theorists who can actually articulate the theory and handle the counter arguments in a spirit of mutual understanding. But in flat earth there are crickets.

I had one conversation with someone who wanted to say it's a toroid but couldn't deal with a toroidal field (which is the shape of the Earth's magnetic field).

So in short, scripture doesn't say flat. Scripture says something that you reason cannot be true unless something else is flat. I honour your God-given ability to discern the truth. I don't think we are there yet.

Again, stopping there to say: you are absolutely correct! Lying liars can lie about any and all things, and show you ways that it "might be true since God can do anything."

While God can do anything; that doesn't mean, that He did other things than what He talks about in His Book.

Certainly, there were other things that happened that aren't documented; that's not what I mean. When Isaiah uses the word "circle" to describe the shape of the Earth, and then "ball" to describe being tossed around violently -- the author knew the difference between a two-dimensional circle, and a three-dimensional one.

You are correct, there are lots of ways that make-believe science can make believe that it is.

There's only one shape that accurately describes it. The firmament can't exist on a globe, but then, neither do we have evidence of any vacuum being next to a non-vacuum without them equalizing, unless there's a solid barrier to keep them from equalizing.

So in short, scripture doesn't say flat.

In short: you need to read more Scripture.

God bless.
