Read your bible.
Sure. I might even start a thread on your Flat-Earth Bible for discussion.

Here's the first entry in your link, a la KJB ...

Isaiah 40:22a It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth,

Question: Is the Arctic circle off-limits to God, or something?

Don't be adding words to the Bible. Especially concepts that didn't exist at the time Isaiah was written.

Had He said "Arctic circle," then they would claim it was an anachronism.

Circles are two dimensional.

The Arctic Circle is not really a 'thing'. It is a descriptor created by people, like the Tropic of Cancer or the 49th parallel.

But you can draw one on a globe.

In fact you can even draw a triangle around Bermuda.

Take a marker and put a dot on the Arctic circle, then tell someone there's a dot that "sits upon the circle of the earth."

Would they want to argue with you about it?

Um, whoever says ' anachronism" is certainly correct.
"South pole", ftm, or any evidence of sophistication re geography
or matter celestial in the Bible would be startling.

I've had discussions over the word "steel" in the Bible as well; they claiming it is an anachronism.

Evo is not science actually, that intelligence and conciousness can come from non intelligence and build brains bit by bit like evo explains is harder to believe than God,
Argument from incredulity.

Yes, because you'd be pointing at a dot of ink on a map or a globe, not the earth.

yes. Because your dot sits on A circle drawn ON the earth. Not on THE circle OF the earth.

Can't God point to a dot of ink on a map or a globe?

I suppose, but it has nothing to do with the earth. The circles on the maps are not on the earth. They are human conventions.

If you follow a map to a blue patch indicating a lake, you will find a lake.
If you follow a map to the equator, you will not find a line on the ground.

It has everything to do with the earth.

So? God is speaking to Isaiah, using terms Isaiah understands.
