WHY SHOULD I TRUST THE BIBLE? IT TEACHES THAT THE WORLD IS FLAT!
Actually, the Bible teaches no such thing. In the book of Isaiah, it says the world is shaped like a circle (some versions use the word "sphere.")
Some leaders in the early days of the church, started teaching that the world is flat. They based this on what they saw and believed was scientific "proof." (The leading scientists at that time believed the world was flat, too.)
The church leaders rejected the clear teaching of scripture so as to not look unintelligent.
That was their major mistake, not the Bible's.
Even though the Bible touches areas of science, it is not a science text book. When it speaks to science, it is accurate and trustworthy. But it doesn't answer every question one might have about the nature of the world around us.
It would be a good idea to fact-check any criticism you might hear about what the Bible supposedly says on scientific issues.
"Smart" people, in and out-of-the-church, have gotten it wrong in the past.
They're not perfect and can get it wrong today too.
