You are prepared to prove when Isaiah (as well as Job) were written, of course? Bet you a dollar you can't produce any empirical evidence to support a claim that authorship was before.... (see next paragraph)
The ancient Greeks knew the earth was spherical (not circular) at least as early as the 6th century BCE. Europeans were Johnny-come-lately to the spherical earth party.
As for your other questions, let's dismantle one bullshit claim at a time, m'kay?
