When most people say "Round", they are referring to a ball-like shape. Yes, "spheroid" is the technical, correct term for it, but the usual slang is "ball" or "round".
When something is flat with a circle-like shape, they usually call it a disc.
Hi,
On the word flat:
Or tasteless, or missing something, or sounds flat, or needs changing like in a tire.
The moon, for you techies out there, supposedly, has an off center of gravity. And I just heard after being asked yet again an age old question by a friend of mine, that Mars has twice the amount of Deuterium in it that our oceans have. It is thought the lighter hydrogen water, is driven off by particles, once the magnetic field collapsed from the cooling of the interior of the planet.
Our amount of Deuterium is twice the normal amount that is found in the universe. I don't know how they got that number.
Deuterium is interesting because it is a fundamental particle that is not being recreated anywhere in the universe. That means to me, once it is gone or reduced, it is gone.
So, what. Nothing. I am just glad we are talking about gravity and it's effects on early dust particles and hydrogen, where the dust particles turn into planets and the hydrogen turns into stars, but because of gravity, each is round or roundish.
Roundish like our planet, is due to it's spinning, but also the sun's pull on it, again from gravity. If the sun and the moon were not there, and the planet were not spinning, then it would be as you all expect, a globe hung on nothing, just like it is said in the Bible.
Flat earthers exist for reasons that I am unaware of. Biblically they seem to exist for not knowing both science and those discoveries are to be followed Biblically. It is as though they do not understand what Genesis 1:28 says. Part of Genesis 1:28 is to subdue the earth.
Subduing the earth requires science. Since that is in there, then listening to what our scientists say, is doing what God wants those believers to do. Yet, some of them do not do that part of what God says.
LOVE,
