is it a globe? or does it just look like a globe due to the physics of it all? :P

We circumnavigate the Earth all the time, which would obviously be impossible if it wasn't spherical.

No matter what angle the earth eclipses the moon from its a curved shape. That's only possible with a sphere.

really? how could the sum of the angles in a triangle equal 400 degrees on a flat earth? how could the stars spin around the sky off axis and still wind up where they started on a flat earth? how could you sit and watch a globular earth on the nasa website for an unlimited amount of time and physically see for yourself, live, that the earth is round on a flat earth?

I'm putting on a $1000 dollar contest on the second for anyone who can prove the world is a sphere without citing NASA or gravity.

Circumnavigation is possible on FE models and for are the phases of the moon. Astrolabe calculators can effectively account for almost all the positions of stars and moon.

Trig shows flat and there is no 24hour live Sat feed, it's only 3 hours at a time with huge inconsistent breaks.

sure circumnavigation is possible...using deceptive language to equate "flying around" with "exploring the entirety of" though in my opinion.

can i see these calculators? do you have a link? if the earth is flat and gravity isnt real, how do you even explain our off axis rotation?

not a single bridge over about 100ft long would hold up with the predictions of flat earth trig

ok, you might have this one, i've never watched for more than about an hour at a time, can i mention google maps then?

i don't want your 1000$, but i would like to have a discussion if you would mind

Newton himself said that Gravity was only a theory that would only be necessary If the earth was a ball, not that the Earth was a ball or even that gravity was 100% even though everyone thinks it has been proven and really the only proof is a couple of photos from Nasa that are just composites.
Myself - I was a confirmed ball earth'er but there is so many points in FE that make a lot of sense, and almost every FE'er says the same thing - that they tried to debunk FE and totally failed. Of course Nasa could easily prove this either way by launching a rocket with like 10 cameras on it to catch every angle and fly straight up until the entire earth is in view, anything longer than 10 mins is probably more patience than most could handle, but for sure that still leaves like a million people that would watch every second. But of course Nasa will never do this because it would just put into question everything they have ever said and really it's better for them to keep making up stuff.

And the only proof of Gravity was a real old guy that saw a ball move after 3 months and determined it was gravity, yet every single physics students thinks his crazy experiment is repeatable in a 5 minute demonstration. It really goes to show how short people's attention span is and how they put complete trust in authority. Yet these same people will laugh at Faith , yet this is exactly what they are indoctrinated with themselves. Actually there's much more proof that gravity or spin doesn't occur.

Lets say the earth is Flat, then the higher you climb, the less you should see on the ground, because your distance grows.
The fact that you can see more of the earth the higher you go is because the earth is round.


Another thing: If you are on the ocean and the earth was flat then you should see ships approaching in their full hight - like when they come out of a fog.
But you dont. You always see the TOP of the ships first. This cannot be if the earth is flat.


You can give me my 1000$ right there.
