what about proving beyond all doubt the earth is indeed a globe? It should be easy because this channel is only after the truth! (wait a minute - science doesn't concern itself with truth does it?) Oh dear!

@johnborton4522 people make lots of claims nobody doubts For example Charles is the current monarch of uk or Russia is at war with Ukraine. Lots of evidence but no doubt because everybody knows those kinds of claims can be verified to be true. So what of the shape of the earth? Surely because there exists a lot of doubt the evidence or much of it cannot be verified to truly support the claim. But you're telling me the globe has been proven beyond all doubt! Very odd. Imo the earth is not a globe for the main reason the evidence only supports the IDEA the earth is a globe. The earth being a globe is an untested hypothesis and nothing more. So when you state the earth is a globe has been proven beyond all doubt, to me you're misguided and have a very poor understanding of science and the natural world!

@johnborton4522 oh sorry I didn't realise the globe earth claim should appear in court and I overlooked the word reasonable! Tell me what is reasonable? How is reasonableness scientifically measured? You got this scientific claim that has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt but what constitutes reasonable doubt? What makes doubt reasonable and unreasonable in a scientific way? Your reply is ridiculous and emphasises my point because people like you don't want to wake up to realise in the real world the earth is not a globe!
