@ROBERTPUNU - You said "that website is wrong. there are over 200 bible verses that support the flat earth model."
No my friend, the Bible doesn't explicitly say the Earth is flat or a ball/globe! The Hebrew word for 'flat' is used in the Bible but never to describe the shape of the Earth, just as the Hebrew word for 'ball' is used in the Bible but never to describe the shape of the Earth.
Therefore all you would ever find are verses cherry picked from specific Bibles that certain people CLAIM says the Earth is flat, when in fact that's simply their personal interpretation. In other words, it's all implicit !
Secondly, Christian churches for nearly 2000 years have ALL said the Earth is a GLOBE. None of them have ever said the Earth is flat, where for centuries the churches adopted Ptolemy's 140 AD model of the universe as doctrine, a model that placed a GLOBE stationary Earth at the center of the universe. Why? Because you can find verses in the Bible that explicitly says the Earth is stationary.
In other words, for most of its history the ONLY thing Christian churches had in common with flat Earth 'theory' was the idea that the Earth is stationary and at the center of everything.
Therefore belief in a flat Earth is not a Christian belief, where it never has been and never will be supported by Christian churches.
Those who tell you the Bible says the Earth is flat are attempting to corrupt your faith, where apparently they are succeeding :-|

@ROBERTPUNU - For example, you highlighted Isaiah 40:22.
In many languages, including English, words can have multiple meanings, ranging from subtle differences to complete differences.
A ball looks like a circle from any angle, therefore a circle doesn't mean flat.
Here is Isaiah 40:22 from various Bibles that is being referred to here;
King James Bible (1611); "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth..."
Douay-Rheims Bible (1582); "It is he that sitteth upon the globe of the earth..."
New American Standard 1977 Bible; "It is He who sits above the vault of the earth..."
Peshitta Holy Bible Translated (1st or 2nd Century AD); "And him who sits on the sphere of The Earth..."
New American Bible; "The one who is enthroned above the vault of the earth..."
Catholic Public Domain Version; "He is the One who sits upon the globe of the earth..."
Aramaic Bible in Plain English; "And him who sits on the sphere of The Earth..."
Matthew's Bible (1537); "That he sitteth upon the circle of the world..."
That's because the Hebrew word 'chug' being translated by those bibles means "a circle, sphere, used of the arch or vault of the sky" (Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon).
So circle, globe, sphere and vault have ALL been used for Isaiah 40:22 by various bibles.
Again, no Christian church in history has ever said the earth is flat, only a globe.

You said "real science is about what can be measured"
Great, so lets do some real science with a large pool of water, say an Olympic swimming pool.
An Olympic swimming pool is 50 meters long, so to calculate the effect of curvature we need to work out the drop for 25 meters (the middle of the pool to the edge).
Whether you use the equation for the curvature of the Earth or the limited approximation stated by flat Earth believers of 8 inches per mile squared we arrive at the same result;
Using 8 inches per mile squared to make it easier, where 25 meters is 0.0155343 miles, then we get a drop of;
0.00193051581 inches, which is about 0.05 millimeters.
That's the width of a human hair.
Think about that. Over the length of 50 meters, or 164 FEET, the rise in the water due to the curvature of the Earth would only be the width of a human hair.
And so to our eyes and even to the measuring capabilities of most people, the surface water of those Olympic swimming pools will appear perfectly flat, even thought it's not.
Therefore your assertion of perfectly flat water is false :-)
