I don't see a level stationary earth, I know it's a level, stationary earth, as God tells me so.
God's word does not say that the earth is flat - even you admitted that.

did God EVER tell ANYONE to trust any man, even perchance a so-called scientist ?

Could be. God Knows. Perfectly.
And that certainly is good to know.

What's the difference between a legal tender hundred dollar bill printed by the usa legitimately
and a counterfeit hundred dollar bill that passes through up to a hundred (or any number really) different people's hands ?
Deliberate obfuscation is a form of lying. Accidental obfuscation is an example of incompetence. Please answer the question directly.

There's only around ten or more people on earth who realize it is stationary.
This unmovable earth is repeated several times in Scripture.
Most people recognise poetry when they see it and understand it is not intended to be literal.

God did not tell you so, you only read it and watched youtube.

He doesn't say it's a ball either.
It's not God's purpose, nor the purpose of the Bible, to teach us the shape of his world.
Why would it be; it has absolutely no bearing on salvation, the state of our souls or whether we accept his Son, Jesus.

God gave us gifts; the ability to discover, question, experiment, search and research. People who have used their God-given gifts tell us that the earth is a sphere. You choose not to believe, and even laugh at, them - yet you cannot prove otherwise. You have said that.
The only "evidence" you submit for your beliefs, are others people's films on YouTube. Half of which do not prove the thing which you are trying to prove.

By all means carry on believing the world is a flat disc if you want to. But God doesn't confirm your belief and you are unable to prove it.

Then Why does God say this ?

The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment. Job 38:14

1. Where does this tell you the shape? It doesn't - you have found a picture of a round seal and have concluded that that is what God said.
2. It's called poetry. In the Psalms, David tells us that God has pitched a tent for the sun. Does that mean that there is a contraption made of canvas in the sky? No. Poetry.
3. Think of a seal. It has some sort of raised image/initials on it and when it is pressed into clay, or wax, that image, or those initials will be imprinted upon the clay.
"It's features stand out ....". What are the features on God's seal which have been imprinted on the earth?
What can we learn about God by looking at his creation? "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands", Psalm 19:1. " "God made man in his own image; in the image of God he created them", Genesis 1:27.

If you think about this poetic image, there is a lot there.
Yet you just seem to have read into it "well a seal gives a round imprint" (if the seal happens to be round) "so this must mean that God is telling us the shape of the earth."

I can't help you if you can't read.
Ditto.
Job 38:14:
The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;
its features stand out like those of a garment.
The verse has the word "shape" - where does it say what that shape is?
Is it square - another verse talks of the 4 corners of the earth? Or maybe it's rectangular, or diamond?

You have found a picture - man made - of a seal and are imposing it upon God's word.
