Faith is based on the Word (words) of God. Without The Bible you would have no idea about Jesus. But yet when it comes to God's creation the same Word that testifies about Jesus, is not good enough when it comes to God's creation.
Sure it is, God created the universe. If you're looking for technical details you ain't gonna find them. And the "flat earth" thing is rubbish any way you look at it; it isn't even supported by the Bible.

A level stationary earth is supported by the Bible, very much so, I reckon you should learn to read.

"Level" is in relation to the centre of the earth. "Stationary" is fixed in orbit around the sun.

How can the earth be orbiting the sun when God placed the sun in the firmament ?

You have no clue what the original Hebrew word is describing. You are going off a translation of a translation of a translation.

In a writing targeted at people to whom the idea of a "billion" was pure gibberish? And to whom the amount of time it took as altogether irrelevant? Hmmm...
Well that’s not true at all since they knew what thousands of ten thousands were.

”They blessed Rebekah and said to her, “May you, our sister, Become thousands of ten thousands, And may your descendants possess The gate of those who hate them.”

So you think they didn’t know what ten thousands of ten thousands was? Or thousands of hundred thousands? So that excuse doesn’t actually work. Perhaps you’d like to try again. Why does Genesis 1 say everything was created in 6 days instead of 4 billion years?

Sadly exegesis isn't present when it comes to the simple fact God is different than a person who writes texts. Then revelation is a vision or an experience but it's never text.

You can’t ask for proof that something didn’t exist. You’d have to be everywhere at once in all time to do that. So it’s not a reasonable expectation.
You cant claim something didn't exist with a lack of empirical evidence or data to prove your claim. Then the claim is just unsubstantiated and a personal opinion or belief at that point.

So we'd know that He created the universe, not so we'd know precisely how long it took.
If God didn’t intend to tell us how long it took to create the earth He wouldn’t have included any time frame in the creation process. That’s just common sense.

This is trying to circumscribe the supranatural within the natural, which can never work. All it took was God's will. He said, "let it be so", and it was so.
There was no influx of energy when Christ blessed a couple of fish and a few loaves of bread to feed thousands of people. In natural terms it would have required a vast amount of energy to create that amount of matter, but the Scriptures give no evidence of that.
What do we know about the fish and the bread other than people ate them?

Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.
1 Corinthians 11:27-30
All this shows is that when Jesus said “he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood will have eternal life” wasn’t intended to be taken literally because He didn’t give any parameters that had to be met when He said it because it was a metaphor for receiving Christ within us, not eating bread and drinking wine. So let me ask you one questions. Do we have to receive the Eucharist in order to receive salvation?

Are you saying they couldn’t understand if Moses wrote thousands of hundred thousands of years in Genesis 1 but they could understand it if he wrote it in Genesis 24? As usual I have no clue what your talking about because you always reply in incomplete sentences.
