As for the earth being round, Isaiah 40:22 says, "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers."

The only thing I can think of off of my head suggesting the earth's roundness is a verse in Ecclesiastes (1:6)
" The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course."
I don't remember any verses on the stars being too numerous to count, but a quick search gave...
Genesis 15:5
"He took him outside and said, 'Look up at the heavens and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.' Then he said to him, 'So shall your offspring be.'"
Hebrews 11:12
"And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore."
There are over 20 other passages that call the stars in the sky 'numerous,' but I found that only those 2 state that they can't be counted.

i can't think of verse say that the earth is round, but the numerous stars thing comes from the promise to abraham, gen 15:15.

Where is it located in the biography of Robin Williams. Does this mean that the biography of Robin Williams isn't true?
