I'm glad you brought up Isaiah 40: 22 because a circle, it's not a ball. And the prophet Isaiah knew the difference between a circle and a ball in the Hebrew those are two different words, and he use the word for a circle, not a ball. In other parts of the book of Isaiah you will find where he uses the Hebrew word for ball he did not use that in describing the Earth. Now if the Bible is truly the inerrant word of God then it appears there is an error in what the prophet Isaiah said if you believe the Earth is a globe. Who are you going to put more faith in, a prophet of God speaking under the direction of God himself or scientists who believe in evolution and in The Big Bang Theory and do not believe in God and tell you that the Earth is a ball not flat.
By the way @barncat anybody can come on here and copy and paste somebody else's work, why don't you take a little time and think for yourself, do your own research and write your own thoughts.
