it seems highly unlikely that the divinely inspired writers of the Bible (and presumptive forebears of Church hierarchy), would be likely to have accepted or conveyed belief in what was at the time considered, even among goyim, to be godless theory.
It is theorized that much information about the ancient world was lost when the library at Alexandria was burned to the ground, particularly about celestial navigation and physics. I often wonder how much good information has been lost for various means.
There are some verses that kind of make me question whether or not they had some concept of things like gravity and a round earth.
From Isaiah:
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth..."
From Job:
"He spreads out the north over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing,"
Seems they might have had some comprehension on the subject. Then again there are other versus stating that the earth is held up by a pillar. That sounds more like imagery and poetry, though. Whatever... Make your own deduction.
