Listen brother, even if they did think that, the qur'an doesn't only speak about the Earth being completely round like a circle, but the qur'an describes the earth as more of a geographical shape, so the earth isn't really a 100% round.
Also, please realise that there are a lot of other scientific facts mentioned in the qur'an as well, like for example, when it was said by our creator that:
"And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it." (Qur'an, 51:47)
And so on...
But... surely you would be smart enough to realise that an honest, illiterate, arab man couldn't have made things up like these, it is illiogical.
