I'll try to address the points in the link;
1) Like Tegh posted, there are 2 hebrew words for circle, one meaning circle one meaning sphere. In this case, the word meaning circle is used. Even if the word meaning sphere was used, it would still be wrong, as the actual shape of the Earth is an oblate spheroid. I'd expect a "close enough for the time" response for this point, but seeming as christians believe their book is handed down from god, who is all-knowing, they should be able to get it correct.
2) The Earth is not suspended.
3-7) All are observations that can me made, which is not hugely remarkable. All it means are that the authors had access to knowledge known at the time. If they had some quantum physics or relativity in there, then I'd be impressed.
8) Entropy is the quantitative measure of disorder of a system. Entropy has been confused with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, but this is not a great representation of it, and I doubt the author intended it to be anything but poetic observation.
9) I can't be bothered to read Leviticus 12-14 so I won't comment on this point.
