Hmm; if knowledge can come only from God (i.e., the Bible) or demons,

the knowledge that the earth is round and revolves around the Sun must

That wasn't what was said - the statement was "If knowledge does not
come from God then it must comes from demons". God uses a variety of
means of communication
including burning bushes, not just the Bible.
Given a free hand, eventually, this is where the supporters of

I disagree. I suggest they prefer a return to the Ptolemaic model.
But Ptolemy was an astrologer!

Maybe they would have to return to an even earlier model in which the
earth
is like a plate with a colander above it for the sky and a basement
(Sheol).
