The ancient Greeks discovered the earth was spheroidal. They even calculated its diameter to 90% accuracy.In that case all the other ancient nations were adhering to the truth, too. Again, the flat earthism is not exclusive to the Old Testament.
Would you propose Egyptians or Babylonians were also inspired?
They were not influencing the culture of the Old Testament authors, though (if we do not include the intertestamental books like the books of Maccabees).The ancient Greeks discovered the earth was spheroidal. They even calculated its diameter to 90% accuracy.
Which is?You are doing what I see lots of people do in misinterpreting the nature of symbolism. Both symbols you highlighted, wings and chariot, are being used to point to the true reality of something.
Wind is air moving, it isn't moving through the air. That's a fail.Wind flies rapidly through the air like a bird.
God doesn't actually ride on clouds though. That's a fail also.A chariot is something you ride on and God is described in several other parts of scripture as riding upon the clouds through the sky.

They did not know (they did not discovered any way to find out), they only thought so (because its what it seems at the first glance).I reckon all the nations knew the earth was flat.

I saw this list before and it is great for sowing God's sovereign nature.of God and they are edifying. Still, not a single one of these passages mentions that the Earth is flat. I welcome you to keep trying but you have failed at least a half dozen times or more to produce one single verse that says the Earth is flat and I have produced many visuals like satellite imagery, links to real-time live imagery, references to atlases with longitude and latitude. I don't think I could produce anything more obvious yet you cling to this idea that has no verifiable proof, nor and scriptural proof. Are you ready to throw in the towel yet?God is never wrong, it is you & the masses who are being deceived. Maybe one day you'll open your eye's and see just how much.

Even if true, how would Noah know about the shape of the earth more than anybody else in the ancient world?The other nations were descended from Noah, so it's not surprising that they would share fundamental knowledge about God and the Creation, just as cultures around the world still share a memory of the worldwide flood.
What "depends"?It depends ???
Also, what is your proof all the nations got this knowledge from Noah?
I hope you are not serious. Well, in that case you would be blaspheming. Hard to say what is there to hope for.The same proof that we know Jesus is alive & getting ready to return.

That is why we (together) agree to the foundational rules.It depends if it evenly sided.

If I might ask a few questions first.So what are the rules ?
You should stop this weird reasoning and absurd claims, for your own good.Rubbish, you asked what proof do we have & I answered, unless of course you yourself are a blasphemer.

What is your final authority?
What is the source that you accept as final definitive proof of any given position, ideology.Don't know what you mean ??
