By that time, the understanding that the Earth is spherical was well distributed and the idea that it 'hung' on nothing was discussed.

But, of course, the Earth does NOT 'hang' at all. It moves.

Also, the idea that the sky was a dome, sphere, or tend spread out around the sperical Earth was the standard at the time. of course, that is also wrong.

Your timeline is incorrect, but putting that aside, tell me this... is it more probable or likely that the Earth "moves" (as you state) in the precise manner in which it has and does (like other planets in our galaxy) - particularly around the Sun - as a result of (1). some chance, or rather (2). some design and purpose?

Not what magic book says. 

Reality does not care about what magic book says. Reality does not care about what you say either.

Well it is kind of like a sample in a petri dish. One is curious how it works.
