For what it's worth, a circle is not the same thing as a sphere. They're both round, I grant you, but only one of them is round in more than two dimensions. Anyone with a clear view of the horizon can see just how flat and circular the ground appears, which makes a reasonable case for saying that the bible passages in question were written by people who probably didn't travel very much and thus unaware of the curvature of the Earth. A god clearly didn't write this stuff (at least, certainly not one that can be relied on for accuracy).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
