Just so as many people are informed, I'll post my argument against this idea from a biblical perspective, using Genesis as I think that the rising of this theory is part of a plot against humanity to distract them from what is about to fall upon Earth.

Please feel free to post any arguments to this thesis:
When God made Heavens and Earth, Heavens covered Earth from all sides, meaning that the Heaven is not a dome.

Genesis 1:6 - And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”

An amount of water was separate from the rest, meaning that the Heavens could not have been a dome. I suppose it could've been cube-like, but I think the most efficient shape for this would've been spherical. But don't quote me on that.

1:9 - And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.

For this, I suppose one could make an argument, saying, "the water was gathered, and the land was revealed and was flat".
Well... Remember that the Heavens are supposed to be ABOVE you and Earth. If the surface were flat, that logic would no longer apply, and you could no longer say "heavens above". Hence, the surface of the Earth has to look towards heaven. If the Heavens cover the Earth entirely from every direction, the Earth has to be exposed in every direction as well. And if the heavens are spherical, then the Earth would also have to be or look spherical (more or less). Nevertheless, it can't be flat due to the shape of the heavens.

There are other passages in the Bible that suggest that the shape is round.

Tell me your thoughts if you have any. :)
 
God is capable of making a flat earth, a round earth, square earth, rectangular earth, and even an earth that wraps around itself. God can create an earth that vanishes and reappears at His command. The Lord can create an earth in the shape of a pool stick, or a boat . . . or anything He so desires.

What matters is the "shape" of our Heart.
