To be fair, logically speaking, one does not have to refute the consensus to be valid. But you are correct in that he holds the burden of proof. He claims the Earth is flat, and he has presented zero evidence that it actually is flat.
Pythagorean math for a sphere proves the earth is flat since no one has ever been able to show a curve exists irl.
Also the mountains prove it, water is always flat proves it , engineering proves it, planular surveying proves it, crepuscular rays prove it, selenelion eclipse prove it, all tests irl prove it , the bedford level experiment proves it, airy's failure proves it.
The horizon always appears perfectly flat – except in NASA and other government pictures, which are obviously faked (as part of the global conspiracy)
You never have to look down to see the horizon, no matter how hard you rise. If Earth were a real globe you’d have to look down
If Earth really was a sphere hurtling through space, the water would be wobbling all over the place, instead of staying flat.
If Earth really was a globe, rivers such as the Mississipi would have to flow uphill to reach the sea – flowing uphill 11 miles in its 3,000-mile length.
If Earth really was a spinning sphere, helicopters would be able to hover in place and wait for their destinations to come to them.
The railway from London to Liverpool is 180 miles long. If Earth really was a globe, it should be 5,400 feet high over Birmingham. There is not.
If Earth really was a globe, airline pilots would constantly have to adjust their controls so as not to fly off into space. They do not.
If there actually were billions of stars in the night sky (Flat Earthers think there aren’t), the entire sky would be full of light.
If Earth was constantly spinning, aeroplanes would never be able to reach their destinations due to the 1000 mph headwind.
If Earth really is spinning, bullets fired upwards would land hundreds of feet Westwards. They don’t.
If the Earth was really spinning at 1000 mph to the east - you'd never be able to talk to people standing west of you since sound only travels at 767 mphMy god, open your blind eyes - there's hundreds of proofs - that fact you won't accept something just means your close minded and blind.
