I understand the context, you’re saying that is what the Bible describes the earth as.
And is that the same thing as saying the earth is flat?
Do you not agree with that description?
Personally, i am more aptly described as a globe skeptic/denier/critic. I lack the verified and verifiable data to make a certain determination of what shape the world is, but i am more than justified by my research in concluding that it cannot be (and is not) spherical in the manner we are taught.
Seems odd to be confident that it isn't one shape, without having an alternate explanation.
Not at all! That's how critical evaluation usually works. Recognizing something you were taught is incorrect doesn't automatically give you the correct answer to replace it. Though that would sure be nice!
Determining the shape of the entire world is no trivial task.

Is there another time in your life where this happened, where you were confident something was false without knowing the real answer?
