Simple.
I didn't want to derail the thread but since you called me out, whatever.

The reason why humans know the Earth is not flat are multitudinous.

  • Many people have flown around the world.
  • Images from space
  • GPS
  • Currents and weather systems
  • Migration patterns
  • Observations of other planets
  • etc


Whether or not Earth is spherical in nature is a scientific question. One can prove that the Earth is round. Whether or not God exists is not a scientific question. You can neither prove nor disprove God exists. Being open to multiple possibilities is not in itself scientific.
