You must consider the time in which and for whom this was written. Scientific formulae would not have the same instructional effect. You can

Four corners..........N S E W
The foundation spoke of here relates to the setting of the Earth in its place in space, like all other objects.
The devil(Satan) took Jesus (we can only conjecture how this actually came about) to a high mountain and in a vision, showed him all of the present
and future kingdoms of the world...........nothing to do with geology.
