The evidence is that there is nothing in the Bible to contradict Science. The whole idea that we have to choose between the Bible and Science is nonsense. Sometimes science is neutral, sometimes science proves the Bible. Never is there a contradiction between true science and a proper understanding of the Bible. We can use the scientific method to establish how much truth there is in the Bible.

Someone once said that we get into trouble when practicing apologetics and try to make the Bible something that it isn't.

I've been saying that since I got here in 2003.

The first rule of hermeneutics is to read the Bible literally. 

The literal Bible is still subject to interpretation. For example "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth" (2Chronicles16:9) I believe the eyes of the Lord here are a reference to the angels.

Yep.  That's where the difference between Exegesis and Eisegesis (a correct and incorrect type of interpretation) comes in.  Exegesis is what you want.

that is because, when the Bible was penned and to whom it was written at the time, the accepted overall cosmological belief was that the earth was flat.   The Bible, not being a science book, used common words and phrases to get points across to the reader that would in a sense sound like it was saying the earth was flat....   but that isn't the context of what was being discussed within the scripture.   You can make the Bible say just about anything if one pulls scripture out of the context it is written in and take it literally.

 

It's almost as if this concept could have important implications for other selectively literal areas of the Bible, too!

If Earth weren't flat, wouldn't the oceans spill off the side? I mean, have you ever tried to pour water on a sphere?

This is a good point.

I don't know precisely if the Earth is a sphere or not. 

Nevertheless that are several things uttered by the science which don't make sense.

when i had my revelation and discovered god i sought out to know the lies of this world, and i am curious is the world flat or no?

It is good to seek out the Truth. Unfortunately, the Free Masonry has twisted the science and history along the years. More than ever, we need to cling to Jesus and His Word, to the point of digging deep to find It:

Luk 6:47,48 -> "Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built."

There are over 250 verses in the Holy Scripture that prove this.

The earth isn't flat. We have mountains surrounding the place I live.

Flat is a term used to show that the Earth has only one face.
