greenland is nowhere near the same size as africa.

"In particular, the southern hemisphere appears much smaller than it is in reality. For instance, in the Mercator projection (below), north America looks at least as big, if not slightly larger, than Africa. And Greenland also looks of comparable size. ... Greenland, meanwhile, is 1/14th the size of the continent."

greenland 836,330 sq m

africa 11,608,000 sq m
was easy to look up
"One way in which we imagine Africa is through world maps. But as far back as Ptolemy, in the 2nd Century Roman empire, cartographers have known that drawing an accurate map of the world is basically impossible. The world is spherical, a map is flat, and there is no obvious way to get around this.

Try to flatten out, for example, the hollow peel of an orange and two things become quickly apparent: 1) there are an infinite number of ways to do that, and 2) none is particularly satisfactory, let alone a neat rectangle."

Pretty sure he has been trying to flatten out the earth for a while now...

if you can watch this entire vid, and honestly think the information being presented is wrong, then please explain the "errors" in detail without saying the following:

"because NASA says this..."
or "because science tells us this..."

I'm all ears & eyes to solid empirical evidence showing your argument ok...

We have provided proof which you and Card dismissed as propaganda

However, Its not our job to prove globe. Its yours to prove flat

Quite frankly none of us care what you FE believe in. But if you come knocking at our door with your beliefs we will hold it up to scientific scrutiny
And yours fail every time

What proof do you have outside youtube? Zero

No matter what is said in any video, what proof do you have of the the reliability of the speaker's info? Again zero

Again I don'y believe in the Globe because of NASA, but from you FE'ers giving a different answer everytime as to your model and having no proof for any of your claims
