“The earliest known image that men had of the earth was that it was a flat, rigid platform at the center of the universe. . . . The concept of a spherical earth was not widely accepted until the Renaissance.”
“To believe that one could sail to the East by sailing west, one must also believe that the earth is a sphere. A Genoese sea captain named Christopher Columbus believed this, but he was not alone. He was not alone by many centuries, for as far back as 500 B.C., a Greek scholar, Pythagoras, asserted that the earth was round. A Norwegian textbook written in 1250 not only said the same thing, but also gave the reasons for the varying climates of the earth, the angle of the sun at different times of the year and the prevailing winds. Not all the ancient knowledge had been lost it— was just out of favor for a while.”—The How and Why Wonder Book of Explorations and Discoveries.
Why are the stars different colors?
At first glance, the stars may appear to all be white, but if you look at them from dark skies for any amount of time, you will see they are a diverse variety of colors,red, yellow, white, and blue.
Why should this be? Why should the stars come in so many colors? Why not just white?
It turns out the answer is because they are hot. All matter emits radiation, peaking at a wavelength (which can sometimes be seen as a color) which is dependent solely on the temperature of the body. This is known as Wein's law (pronounced Veen's law).
“There are 88 recognized constellations in the heavens now,” Constellations should be considered in the same light as geographical entities. They designate specific areas on the celestial sphere, and are the addresses of all stars and other objects permanently within their borders and of planets, comets, meteors, the Sun, Moon and other temporary visitors to their areas. Constellations are infinite in depth.”
“The dark patches on the sun which we call sunspots are believed to be areas of intense activity. Great surges of atomic upheaval boil up from inside the sun. Accompanying these solar eruptions are huge flares that can be seen sweeping out from the sun’s surface into space. And associated with the flares are streams of electrically charged atomic particles that are spewed out from the sun like water from a hose. . . . When sunspots are active the earth’s magnetism is disturbed. Compass needles misbehave, and the earth acts as though it were a magnet influenced by tremendous electric currents passing near to it. Immediately after a sunspot flare is seen there is a disturbance of radio communications over the sunlit area of the earth. And a day later comes the magnetic storm, the aurora, and a further disturbance of radio communications, less severe than the first but affecting the entire world. Electric currents set up in the earth’s crust can be powerful enough to upset telephone communications as well.”
If there are any other points you feel will 'prove' creationism, then please feel free to let me know so I can illuminate you and introduce you to the world of rationality. I want to hear your 'proof' of a god creating life and sidestepping natural biological (and geological.. and chemical... and astrophysical) evolution.

So where did the prophet Isaiah get his information 2700 years ago? Long before Pythagoras and Columbus? Long before we sent satellites into outer space, long before we sent men to the moon? Any idea?

Fact 6) Of constellations Job was asked by God: “Can you tie fast the bonds of the Kimah constellation, or can you loosen the very cords of the Kesil constellation? Can you bring forth the Mazzaroth constellation in its appointed time? And as for the Ash constellation alongside its sons, can you conduct them? Have you come to know the statutes of the heavens, or could you put its authority in the earth?”—Job 38:31-33.

Are these statements from God Himself, the Creator of the heavens and earth factually accurate?
What does the evidence show:
According to 1001 Questions Answered About Astronomy. James S. Pickering said the following:
“There are 88 recognized constellations in the heavens now,” Constellations should be considered in the same light as geographical entities. They designate specific areas on the celestial sphere, and are the addresses of all stars and other objects permanently within their borders and of planets, comets, meteors, the Sun, Moon and other temporary visitors to their areas. Constellations are infinite in depth.”
How could a *"goat and sheep herder” like Job be able to comprehend such an awesome heavenly bodies (constellations) if not made aware of it? And where did the writer of Job (Moses) get this information 3400 years ago? Way before the advent of modern astronomy?
...................................................................................................................................................... ...........
>> As for the “the statutes of the heavens” or “the laws of nature on earth” (Job 38:33, The New English Bible/ see also Jeremiah 33:25) - is this statement scientifically accurate?
Notice what “Our Astonishing Atmosphere” says:
“The dark patches on the sun which we call sunspots are believed to be areas of intense activity. Great surges of atomic upheaval boil up from inside the sun. Accompanying these solar eruptions are huge flares that can be seen sweeping out from the sun’s surface into space. And associated with the flares are streams of electrically charged atomic particles that are spewed out from the sun like water from a hose. . . . When sunspots are active the earth’s magnetism is disturbed. Compass needles misbehave, and the earth acts as though it were a magnet influenced by tremendous electric currents passing near to it. Immediately after a sunspot flare is seen there is a disturbance of radio communications over the sunlit area of the earth. And a day later comes the magnetic storm, the aurora, and a further disturbance of radio communications, less severe than the first but affecting the entire world. Electric currents set up in the earth’s crust can be powerful enough to upset telephone communications as well.”
Consider also the Weak and Strong Forces that govern the Universe. These forces are so intricately FINE TUNED that the universe maintain its balance. Are there "bonds" (forces) that hold these stellar constellations together? And what accounts for the fine-tuning of the these physical forces, the “the statutes of the heavens”?
Absolutely!
Consider:
1) ELECTROMAGNETISM
2) STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE
3) GRAVITY
4) WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE

Evidence: false vs. facts
The Encyclopedia Americana says:
“The earliest known image that men had of the earth was that it was a flat, rigid platform at the center of the universe. . . . The concept of a spherical earth was not widely accepted until the Renaissance.”
Funny thing is, some early navigators feared sailing off the edge of the flat earth! Then all of these misconceptions disappeared when the compass and other navigational instruments were introduced. These improvements made possible longer ocean voyages. From these early “voyages of discovery, ...showed that the world was round, not flat as most people had believed.”
Remember Columbus who set sail? Well he was not the first voyager who proved that the earth was “round”.
Notice:
Irving Robbin wrote:

Through the use of satellites and space travel – this fact is not debatable - unless you're still a "flat earth" believer.
Here again the Bible was not influenced by the erroneous, flat-earth view prevalent when it was written. It was accurate – scientifically accurate that is.
So where did the prophet Isaiah get his information 2700 years ago? Long before Pythagoras and Columbus? Long before we sent satellites into outer space, long before we sent men to the moon? Any idea?
Wild guess, coincidence, luck or did he copied it from other writings as some may say?
All or any of the above? In any case whatever your answer is, one thing is clear Isaiah got it right, do you agree? If so what about the rest of his statements? Are they all wild guesses too?
Whether you admit it or not, to me the obvious, clear and logical answer is:
Isaiah got the information from someone who has knowledge of time and space. From someone who knew where the material universe came from. From someone who posses enormous power, with the ability to convert “dynamic energy” into matter (E=mc2 - Isa 40:26 NWT)). In other words Isaiah was divinely inspired by someone beyond space and time – by the Almighty God , the Creator of heaven and earth. To which he says:
“. . .There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth. . .” (Isaiah 40:22)
What say you?
"… qui sedet super gyrum terrae et habitatores eius sunt quasi lucustae qui extendit velut nihilum caelos et expandit eos sicut tabernaculum ad inhabitandum… "

To add to the OP, as clear as the bible is in describing the things written in OP it is also very reliable on a much smaller scale. The bible hints at deeper knowledge of our microcosmos here on earth, giving detailed instructions aimed at keeping humans healthy. Sanitary practices, foods wich are safe as opposed to foods from wich we now know that they are infested with bacteria and parasites.
