You can literally use a telescope and see the planets for yourself. The Bible doesn't mention a whole lot of things. Oh, there is no platypus in the Bible, they must not be real!

Bacteria isn't in the Bible, so clearly they aren't real and microscopes are made of lies!
Bacteria isn't mentioned by name, but it is clear God knew about them, because He told the Hebrews to wash themselves in running water and not stagnant. Guns may not be in the Bible, but weapons of war were.
But what of the literally millions of things not mentioned in the Bible? The Bible is the teachings of God, not an encyclopedia of all knowledge. It didn't teach man to make pottery or shelter, how to sail or use a compass, how to make fire from light, or any number of other things. And much of the Bible is allegory, something to which the vast majority of Biblical and Rabbinical scholars agree. Ah well, I'm placing you back on ignore, in any case, I've got much work to do and you are a man who is so sure of himself that no amount of evidence would change your mind, and you bask in your own ignorance with no desire to challenge it through your own experiments.
Somehow you're trying to pull this off track, or maybe your mind is just demanding to be correct and you're just following any means possible to "win" (or rather defeat me?).

You claim I mentioned something never mentioned in the Bible. Then I posted to you that IT IS in the Bible.
Now you've changed the discussion from "disproven claim that is never stated in the Bible" to "The Bible doesn't mention a whole lot of things."
You said it's not in the Bible, but it is. This is not about what's NOT in the Bible. It is about WHAT IS in the Bible, the complete opposite, which you seemed to have turned on its head in a moment.
What is in the Bible: evidence for the flat earth. You said it's not in there, but it is.
What's
not in the Bible: this is what you changed the discussion into after I told you the evidence for the flat stationary domed earth is in the Bible.
Clever.
