"fixed"
So if God tells us the Earth is fixed, then in some way it is. It may not have a nail through the center into a board, and it may not have glue smeared on the bottom, but in some way that God wanted us to realize, it's fixed.
Yep, it's "fixed" in the sense that it's a crooked game, not suitable for betting, similar to professional wrestling or major league baseball.
Example 1:
Exodus 7:3-5 writes:
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, [and] my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
Example 2:
John 13:26,27 writes:
Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped [it]. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave [it] to Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon.
And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
Whose body and blood was that, then? You don't know, because Rule #3 prohibits telling you. But God breaks all his own rules at least once.
Example 3a:
Second Samuel 24:1 writes:
And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
Example 3b:
First Chronicles 21:1 writes:
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

Slipping Into Another Thread Dude
Darwin's theories were so incomplete you need a transcript of the evolutionary chain to even half-understand his book, "on the origin of species". there are too many holes in his reasoning.
How do you get "all species are alike and have evolved from each other" from studying minor changes in birds on the galapogos islands?
Which has nothing to do with the imagined flatness of the earth in ancient times. You are going off-topic everywhere as soon as you get challenged. This isn't going to be tolerated, you are in danger of being persecuted for your belief that you can just change the subject whenever things go tight for you. Hopefully the ACLU will step in and get you some professional help.
In the meantime, there's a nice thread that's been set up for you where you can do this galloping about from point to point to your heart's content. Please join us as we review all your points all together in Message 1.
