#1 - That's a fucking bowl, it's not flat; the Bible says God stretched a flat and level line across the Earth during its construction. -- Job 38:5
You're about as gravitationally compromised (dense) as they come. Did you ever see anyone stretch a measuring line across something? Look at the cross-country power lines. They sag, like a bowl. Your rendering of the Bible passage in Job doesn't have anything to do with flat. It has to do with God's ability, alone, to measure the earth, whatever its shape. Take a look at some of the Job versions of the passage you quote. No "flat" in them:
