Wrong on both counts. The bible says the earth was flat - as expected from bronze-age goat-herders. Hellenistic astronomers, on the other hand, had figured out that the earth was spherical around 500 bc.

Scientists believed there was no beginning to the universe? Where do you get that?
Universe having a beginning is a part and parcel of most religions and a lot of other religions model the actual facts better than Christianity. For example, Hindu cosmology comes closest in terms of modelling and timelines - it posits an unmanifested, atemporal seed containing all the mass of the current universe started expanding billions of years ago.

The prophet Isaiah who lived almost 3,000 years ago stated
"It is He that . . . stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in." [40:22]
Scientists are beginning to understand that the universe is expanding, or stretching out. At least seven times the Scriptures clearly tell us that God stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
An extremely poor equivocation - tents and curtains don't expand. If your Isaiah was was positing expanding universe, then he should've compared it to something that actually expands.

Open your mind before you criticise, i believe in science, science is fact, but it doesn't disprove God? It supports it.
We laugh at your pathetic attempts to re-interpret the bible.
