>Ignoring the authorship issue of the pastorals, he's quoting Deuteronomy,
1 Timothy 5:18 is a quote of Luke 10:7. See the following:
"For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward."
(1 Timothy 5:18)
"Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn."
(Deuteronomy 25:4)
"And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire."
(Luke 10:7)
Paul quotes Luke directly alongside Deuteronomy, calling both Luke 10:7 and Deuteronomy 25:4 as Scripture.
>The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment.
Inaccurate translation. What it actually says in context is this:
"Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment."
(Job 38:12-14)
In other words, the earth is crushed under God's power, and the wicked stand with the same level of fortitude as a piece of clothing. Just as it says in Hebrews:
"And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail."
(Hebrews 1:10-12)
Also, as it says in Job 26:7, "He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing."
The above refers to the earth being suspended in space. The book of Job even talks about the atmosphere being reflective, long before that was known scientifically.
"Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?"
(Job 37:18)
Looking glass = mirror
Molten = fluid (i.e. the atmosphere)

>Because the Bible says shockingly little on the subject. This is partly because, to the people that wrote the Bible, Europe and Arabia were the whole world.
Except from the Biblical perspective this doesn't matter even if true, since God inspired them to write those words.
One can point to scientifically accurate statements in the Bible such as Job 37:18 which refers to the sky as a fluid (molten) mirror. This is factually accurate description of what the sky actually is, despite being written long before the writers could have known it empirically. The blue color caused by Rayleigh scattering is refracted sunlight.
>The Ancient Jews thought (what is now) Spain was the edge of the Earth. They had no idea that there were Abbos sitting in Australia that wouldn’t learn of the Abrahamic religions until centuries in the future.
This whole point is entirely irrelevant if the Bible is true and God, the Creator, inspired everything in the Scripture – as mentioned by Paul in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Even if we assume the people who were told what to write had zero idea about the rest of the planet, God did. God, the Creator, would know all of that.
>But this is meaningless because it also says (numerous times) that Jesus is the only path to heaven, and knowledge of the life of Jesus is not “evident in creation.”
Like I said, if they truly wanted to find out the truth and seek God, then the Gospel would reach them. This would happen through divine Providence. Thus, if it never reaches a particular group of people, that implies none of them ever tried to find the truth. Cont'd.
