Isaiah 40:22 It has actually been known that the Earth was round since the time of the ancient Greeks. I believe that it was Pythagoras who first proposed that the Earth was round sometime around 500 B.C.

Most people think that we are "progressing."
You should look into the study of the Giza pyramid, believed to be built around 2450-2560 B.C.

The scientist that analyze the math needed in order to build it the way it is built is amazing! These scientist will claim that Newtonian math would have been required to build it the way it was designed!
These scientists believe that the math used, how things are positioned and how things are laid out in this 4000 year old Pyramid it builders knew these facts:
  • A precise definition of the Royal Cubit as it relates to the Earth
  • The size and shape of the Earth
  • The Mass and Density of the Earth
  • The Gravitational Constant
  • The Escape Velocity from the Earth to obtain an Open Orbit
  • The Escape Velocity from the Earth to obtain escape from the combined Earth’s and Sun’s gravitational field
  • The significance of the location of the Great Pyramid

There is a difference between the regular and the Egyptian Royal cubit--am I right about this?
 
Another scripture to indicate that the world is round is in Job 37:12

They swirl around over the face of the whole earth to do whatever He commands them.
 
Parts of it is very flat. West Texas for example. It all depends on your perspective and nearness to the surface. And of course its a sphere as well when you go back far enough or when you project level lines far enough (like the level line of a large building etc.

Space is curved as well but to most it just seems like a big bag of emptiness.
 
Ah, but have you considered that an oblate spheroid which experiences acceleration approaching the speed of light will seem to flatten relative to an un-accelerated observer?

Yes, yes, yes, yes!
I've seen that in my mind.

This is correct, and if you notice, doing calculations show that our "Unscientific" English system is based on the sacred cubit, i.e. related to the radius of the earth. I see the metric system as Satan's counterfeit, also based on the earth, but along a meridian. Question arises, whose meridian should we use? The earth is an oblate sphere and the distances vary somewhat. But there is only one polar radius.

My calculations irrefutably proven that an acre is extremely close to 100 x 100 sacred cubits, making the tabernacle's court of 50 x 100 half an acre. The edge of a square acre is 1/100,000 the polar radius of the earth. Likewise, English volume measurement is related to the sacred cubit. This is one of many evidences of the relationship between Egypt (the pyramid), Israel, and Great Britain (and by extension the USA). One often hears me talk about the feasts of the Lord. That's biblical time. But what many do not realize is that there's also sacred, biblical measure and pagan measure. The English system is an earth-based measurement system better than the metric IMO.
 
ah yes a debate on whether system is more accurate. pointless. both work. aircraft, and ships in America use the metric system of grids with a scale of one to whatever scale in inches.all topos if im told that I have posted from the 40s.( I have posted a few) are in the scale of 1:40000 or 1:24,000. the current use by the army for maps is 1:50000, but the navy, airforce and other pilots use a scale of 1:100000 both work, missiles and bombs are accurate. so yes I would say that the accuracy of either side is workable. the metric system is easier to learn. the English system if one isn't used to is harder to learn but not as accurate. all distances in military maps are used in kilometers. all measurements for movement by navigation are in degrees but for bombs, missiles, and arty its mills. one degree is 60 mills. the space craft uses mills as well.
 
The earth's protective magnetic field attenuated by 10% as the meter came into popular use (10% in the last 150 years). Coincidence? I will allow you to decide for yourself.
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system
so its a bit silly that we have a place that actually has the means to verify measurements. that an inch was an inch, . yup we do its in france as well. the English system also been standardized. imagine you buy an acre. you next door neighbor's acre is bigger for the same price and same measurement. so you would feel robbed? something in the bible about diver's measures. that is why the English system was at first moved away from. we have in America been using to launch aircraft, fight wars and so forth with the metric system by large(army and marines use a mix of the two) rather then use a 20 degree minute of longitude and latitude its better to use an 8 or 10 digit grid system. way easier to use and accurate. but not as accurate as what surveyors use. they must be dead on. military use need not be that accurate to locate or some arty pieces. smart bombs and missiles are dead accurate.

Ah yes, the evil of inflation.

Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 20:10 KJV

So a polar radius versus a meridian that spans at least 10% of the earth's quadrant. Using Lorentz Coordinate Transformations to calculate relativistic flattening of terra's oblong spheroidal shape for observers at un-accelerated space time continuum coordinates.

Then one must consider attenuation of the earth's magnetic field...
