Sure, anyone can pick up a bible and determine that it means the Earth is flat, or the center of the universe, or vastly younger than it's real age. Anyone can pick up a bible and determine that it contradicts reality in any number of ways.

Most people take for granted what others have told them regarding the Bible.

Here is the Bible describing the earth as round (circle), and the heavens (universe) like a stretched out plane (curtain) that can have no three dimensional center.

Isa 40:22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain,

Scientists, and those who have misread the Bible (religious leaders or otherwise), have always been the ones who are wrong.

Some people like to claim figures of speech, like the one modern scientists use today - sunrise, sunset - mean the Bible is clueless. The same standard makes scientists clueless.

...he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth...

The earth is a sphere, not a circle. Circles are flat.
