http://www.smarterthanthat.com/astronomy/top-10-ways-to-know-the-earth-is-not-flat/Here are 10 ways.. Said this before: watch a sunset, run up a ladder and watch it again... -> round... Unlikely would be if the world was flat, since you have to neglect all discoveries since Copernicus.. You can count all of that of proof of a round earth. It's a bit weird to have satellites providing gps applications on a flat earth though. It could have been done by a 5 balloons hovering over the flat earth. Anyone could create a gps like that.. Would be a hole in the market. and yet, no-one does it ? Could the world actually be round?
Yes you idiot.
The sun does not set, it just melts into the sky plane and the terrestrial plane, you should probably learn how perspective works

Ships over the horizon is the illusion of refraction, if that was really the horizon, the effect would be the same with tall trucks over land. Explain why is is not the same?
Moon eclipses dont prove the earth is a ball, they just discovered a near planet sized object orbiting in the opposite direction from all the planets - we know very little about space, only what we are told
Stars work fine on flat Earth, i think your assume the stars are 1000s of light years away, this is not the case with geocentric theory.
Stick and shadows - that's the dumbest thing I've read - of course shadows are different from an object on two "different" sticks that's true on flat earth or ball earth, also you can get a laser level and all tests i've seen show water is not curved - show me some curved water.

Planes actually prove flat earth - If the earth is spinning at 1000mph and orbiting around the sun at 66,600mph and revolving around the galaxy at 450,000mph and expanding into space at 1/2 the speed of light and gravity is keeping you and the air stuck to the planet , and all the movement is in a definable direction, then how can a plane travelling through this air in the opposite direction of all this movement not need incredible different output force when it travels in parallel to all this movement? Please explain this?
Look at Other Planets - a common mistake of logic - if you go to a party and everyone has black hair, does that mean that you have black hair? And Einstein proved that gravity is a misconception, that Newtons idea of it was wrong, that it is space that is curved because what you are looking at is time, not space.
The Existence of Timezones - timezones work fine on Flat earth, so does longitude and latitude
The Center of Gravity - random objects do not attract each other no matter how big they are, this has never been shown to be remotely true.
