Here is a good article debunking the flat earth myth, it also includes a referrence to an atheist historian who over 20 years ago wrote showing that the flat eartg tale was untrue.

Alturnatively here is an article by a professional astronomer who supples a lot of maths and technical explanations as to why the astronomical evidence supports a spherical world.

Can you cite some credible scientific sources? While I agree that flat Earth was not a blanket belief, Answers in Genesis is certainly not one. The answer is much more nuanced.
The Medieval world was not just Eurocentric.
Interesting that rather than read what the sources I quote say you make fact free assertions.
Do you know who:- Historian Jeffrey Burton Russell (1934–) thoroughly debunked the flat earth myth over 20 years ago in his definitive study Inventing the Flat Earth
Is, Ive copied direct from the creation.com article and are you familiar with the work of the astronomer I quoted an article from with AiG?
I read the article, and of course I know who Dr Russell was. My point is that your sources that are quoting him are not historically or scientifically credible.
I don’t know what you mean by historically creditable, unless it is that any one with scientific credentials, phds etc etc and is a yec Christian is not creditable.
Being a Christian does not make anyone an authority on science or history. Educational credentials and the intense work required to become a scientist or historian.
One author:-Dr Jonathan Sarfati was born in Ararat, Australia in 1964. He moved to New Zealand as a child and later studied science at Victoria University of Wellington. Dr Sarfati holds citizenships of Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. He obtained a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Chemistry with two physics papers substituted (nuclear and condensed matter physics). His Ph.D. in Chemistry was awarded for a thesis entitled ‘A Spectroscopic Study of some Chalcogenide Ring and Cage Molecules’. He has co-authored papers in mainstream scientific journals on high temperature superconductors and selenium-containing ring and cage-shaped molecules.
The other auther:Dr. Danny Faulkner holds an MS in physics from Clemson University, an MA and a PhD in astronomy from Indiana University, and he taught at the University of South Carolina—Lancaster for over 26 years. He has published over 100 papers in various journals.
May I politely request that you read the articles they wrote and assess from them there relevance.
The Bible uses figurative language. There are times you can’t take it literally.
Er which bits, those that impl a flat earth or those that imply a round earth or the amazing miracles?
