It states in the Bible that in the last days, they will believe the two biggest lies. 1. That there was no creation. 2. That there was no flood.

2 Peter 3:5-6 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.

Everything is just as the Bible describes so believers should just look up in anticipation of what is to come as the 'former things are passing away'
Except the world wasn't formed out of water and by water and the world wasn't deluged and destroyed by water.

Religion has a heavy influence on the minds of religious zealots. It causes them to believe in things that didn't happen.

It's great to see a new believer quoting the Word of God.

And the words disprove your claim that "The Bible recorded a round earth".

No. What this says is that you give credence to scripture only when you 'think' it supports your argument.

The Bible also records the stars as being innumerable, while scientists stuck in 'the dark ages' initially counted them to be around 6000.

It says that you ignore scripture when it's inconvenient to your argument.

I don't give 'credence' to scripture at all. I am only using it to point out that you are incorrect in your claims.

There is nothing in the Bible that refers to the earth as a sphere. It's all about a flat disc with the dome or a 'firmament' over it (ie- a flat earth) -which is what the ancient Hebrews believed.

It says you copy and paste things from an atheist website.

Do you really not understand that it was not giving credence to Scripture but showing you what the Bible actually says?
