At Isaiah 40:22 this is commented on. "circle of the earth"...
Thousands of years before man could finally provide visible proof looking back at the earth from space.
Popular opinion of the day does not equal truth.

that's a poor example of biblical/scientific fact considering the earth is not a flat circle , but a globe... the difference between 2d and 3d is quite important in science...
sure one could argue that the meant to say globe, but it's more plausible to believe they thought it was actually a 2d circle, with bounderies you could fall off, which was popular belief at the time when they didn't even sail beyond the horizon...
calling this a fact that turned out to be true , is quite the liberal interpretation of that text if you ask me
