So much for divine revelation from god via Moses & Muhamad.

Yes I knew that..Moses and Mohammed never did. Of course Moses is a fictional hero, and Mohammed was a pedophile camel jockey.

You've got your timelines mixed up.
And the ancient Greeks never "found out" that the earth was round; there were a number of them who speculated that it might be, but they certainly didn't have the resources to prove it, and the notion of a round Earth had some credibility, but it never obtained widespread acceptance among them.
And Moses predates the classical period of ancient Greece by centuries. Plus, there is no indication anywhere that Moses had any idea whether or not the Earth was round, or if he would have cared at all.
There is not a single thing you have posited in your statement that has even the most tiny amount of truth, credibility, relevance, or validity.
So much for your mouth and your brain being connected. You should get that service hooked up, it's worth your time.

Maybe so, but not before Job! Job is the earliest writer in the Bible, it was written before any other of the books of the Bible. So much for your scholarly effort, try again.

But they cheated and used things like science and logic. C'mon we need to compare apples to apples here...

Yes. It always amazes me when people go on about "flat earthers".
