[@jkuhl2492]

"No evidence for a round earth" Erastathenes proved it with a couple of sticks over 2200 years ago Dock workers observed this for thousands of years seeing ships disappear bottom up over the horizons They also observed this in the fact the curve of the earth obscures islands at great distances. The curve can be viewed with sufficient altitude. Photographs from space have been taken of the earth, including one from the moon. Things traveling sufficient distances must take coriolis into account If you travel east and maintain your heading perfectly, you'll come right back to where you started. Motion of the planets in our sky only makes sense with a heliocentric model Rotation of the stars in the night sky is visible with timelapse lenses and only makes sense on a spinning ball The arc of the sun's motion over the sky over the course of a year only makes sense on a spinning ball. Gravity would destroy a flat earth, as those on the edge of the disk would be pulled to the center, but gravity would easily create spherical planets, we understand this easily with modern physics (this is why flerfers are so insistent to try to debunk gravity) I could continue Nicole.

For the "Do Your Own Research!" crew: JOHN G. ABIZAID's highest level of education was four years of high school. In the 1910 and 1920 US Census, he's listed as the owner of a razor manufacturing shop. He must have lost his business though because in the 1930 and 1940 Census he's working in a leather goods factory. No scientific background. AURIN F. HILL, an avid diarist who nicknamed HIMSELF "the insane architect" was committed to an insane asylum twice, spent time in jail and practiced as a spiritual medium, phrenologist and union activist during his life. He was known as a contrarian and purposefully picketed against popular ideas. He protested lynching. He also protested vaccinations. His motto was, "I am my own God until I find a better man." WILLIAM J. HUTCHINSON, well...like SciMan, I can't find him anywhere. It was a common name and without knowing more, it would be difficult to pinpoint him further but Mr. Hutchinson may be found a liar in other ways. A simple spelling error, maybe, but he wrote from the Academy of Science† when in fact it is the Academy of Sciences, plural. And the only meaningful acronym I could find for someone who would title themselves AFC from an Academy of Sciences would be "Application for Certification" meaning they have applied and are awaiting certification. Seems a bit presumptuous to write on behalf of a group you are not formally a member of. Sources matter. † EDIT: Guido Makor made an excellent observation I had previously missed. It actually says Academy FOR Science, not OF. So either Mr. Hutchinson REALLY made a spelling error or he made up an organization similar to a real and respected organization to sound smart and added some letters to his name that don't mean anything. What a goober to pick AFC though. **facepalm**

I love the argument about the Sun. If the Sun is large then everyone would see it at the same time and at effectively the same angle. That's true - if the Earth is flat. As soon as the Earth is a sphere though, then the people on it are facing in different directions. We should congratulate her on picking an argument which highlights a flaw in the Flat Earth model.

[@Groffili]

That's false. In both models - the standard heliocentric and the "flat earth, close sun" - people would see the sun at different angles. The reason why we cannot see the sun on our globe at all times is because for about half the time... THERE'S A HUGE FRIGGING BALL OF ROCK BETWEEN US AND THE SUN. But Flerfs' understanding of that is... Dougalesque... "small - far away - small - far away". No, they don't get it either. Of course, they came up with a rather good conjecture to explain it. In their world, the "object" blocking the view to the sun at night is the atmosphere (blasphemy, I know) itself. And they do have a point there. As much of a point as flerfs can have. Visibility through the air is limited, due to light scattering and absorbtion. How this effect would really look like, with correct data and formula... that's nothing they worry about. Numbers aren't static in Flerf-World... they are emotional factors. Still... it's a point. But it's a point that made me think: if the light from the sun is reduced to almost nothing due to distance through the atmosphere... how could it be that the moon - which according to flerfism is the same size and distance as the sun, but send out a lot less light - is visible under the same conditions to the same distance? I would like to see which explanations the flerfs could come up with for that. They can, certainly. You can always find an explanation when all your explanations are made up. I know that I "found" an explanation after just two minutes. Still... would be interesting to see if they even understood the problem.

I follow Dan because he's always on the side of scientific authority without exception. And that makes me feel smart for trusting scientific authority all these years when he mocks anyone who didn't do the same. They don't understand science actually IS faith. It really is. It's about having faith in the genius PhDs and their consensus. So "science" actually means trusting the current consensus sort of like a religious text & then defending it from lunatic, crazy conspiracy theorists who don't understand science actually IS faith. And just because we don't always have evidence to show we've been right all along to believe the consensus like a sacred text doesn't mean they have the right to just question whatever they want. It's obnoxious, who do they think they are questioning genius PhDs in positions of scientific authority? It would be like an Atheist questioning or doubting what their priests say. They wouldn't like that either. I mean, obviously we do that all the time, but that doesn't mean they can question OUR priests & get away with it. I've started chanting "Earth is not flat. Earth is not flat. Earth is not flat. Earth is not flat" right over flat earther arguments when I debate them and it helps. Mainly I follow Dan because I like the mocking & ridiculing of the crazy conspiracy theorists who, frankly, have no right to be questioning my pre-existing beliefs like that.

One can't just go to the edge of the flat earth and look at the other side because (1) flat earthers believe one can't go beyond that edge and (2) if they could, what would provide them with something to stand/sit on? Or do they also believe that the "flatness" of the earth is so thin that one could look at the other side just by lying down at the edge and looking under the earth at whatever supports it. Let's face it. There has been more than one plane that started at a particular point on the earth, flown directly east (or west) and managed to return to the same location without at any time turning left or right. How does that happen on a flat earth? Amazing how the simplest realities of real world living seem to have no place in their imaginary world.

In this case, all it would take is changing the word “around,” to the word “across” when discussing worldwide phenomena… however, flat-Earthers don’t care enough to do the actual work of considering the implications of their beliefs… which is likely a major reason why they are flat-Earthers in the first place. I think that’s one of the reasons I’ve run out of pity for these people - their ignorance is borne as much out of laziness as it is the duplicity of others, and I just don’t have the bandwidth to feel sorry for people who get conned because they’re too intellectually lazy to avoid the scam.
