lol interesting thought! there could be benefits to designing a round earth. eg letting organisms evolve/advance in more relative isolation.
Those benefits work in a universe that is hands off. A creator should have been able to come up with a better system than one that lead to most species becoming extinct.
I agree there are optimizations to be made, but every optimization could break something else. (eg allow FTL, now have to deal with time travel or something)
