  1.  @neiljohnson7914  You believe in your interpretation of an old book. I believe what I see in the real world. To each his own.

  2. No there weren't. You were lied to, you believed the lies, and now you are repeating lies.

  3. What makes it impossible for water to curve? Water curves all the time.

  4. Agreed. The accelerating melting of the Antarctic ice sheets and glaciers caused by global warming is not a good thing.

  5.  @Bells7777  Just to make sure we're on the same page, how about you give me an exact quote from Byrd, including its source, where you think he said anything about the Earth being flat? One sunset, plus the knowledge that it's not nighttime over all the world at once, shows that the Earth cannot be flat. That's just plain ol' common sense.

  10.  @flatearthisahoax4030  Yep. "Bruce Hitler" is on SoundCloud. Dubay fanbois should also check out his "Atlantean Conspiracy" which can be googled. It should also be mentioned that Dubay has never been censored (contrary to the claims of many flat Earthers) for being a flat Earther, but he was once kicked off YouTube for openly praising Hitler. I know that many flat Earthers have no problem with wannabe Nazis, but many others accuse globe Earthers of being Nazis. They should look to their own before tossing around allegations.

  11. It depends on how literally you take the Bible. They used metaphors back then too. I doubt that any Christians believe that Jesus is literally a door, or that Peter is literally a stone.

  12. One sunset shows that the Earth cannot be flat. With your own eyes.

  13. So how is it that globe maps show correct distances, but no flat Earth map does?

  14.  @AllHallowsEve2012  Accurate maps of the whole Earth are all globes.

  16. Human eyes don't "see"- they detect light rays of various colors, positions, and strength. The brain is what sees. Where did Dawkins say this? Citation needed. And sorry if it offends, but there's a vast amount of evidence for evolution.

  17. Ancient peoples who believed the Earth was flat had the excuse that the knowledge at the time was too limited. Modern flat Earthers don't have this excuse.

  18. What's the problem here? The circumstances of the Earth is slightly less across the Poles than along the Equator. That's because the Earth is not a perfect sphere, but instead a bit oblate. Isaac Newton predicted it, and it's since been measured with satellites. One sunset shows that the Earth cannot be flat. It's really as simple as that.

  22. There's nothing wrong with questioning scientific models. It's just sad that most flat Earthers don't even try to make the kind of observations necessary to find the shape of the Earth, but merely repeat what they see on youtube. Have you ever built a sundial? Taken the altitude of Polaris from three different latitudes? Watched the shadow of an upright stick on the Equinoxes? What observations have you made that fit a flat Earth, but not a globe?

  23.  @faithismespeaks6848  Water is not sentient, it doesn't "find" anything. Like all fluids, water conforms to the forces acting on it. The primary such force on Earth is gravity, which pulls everything toward the center of the planet, the direction called "down". Water is pulled down until it's blocked by something it can't go through: stone. Going down as far as it can tends to make the surface of the water equipotential, that is, no part of the surface has more potential energy than any other. This results in the surface being equidistant from the center of the planet (discounting the effects of other much smaller forces, such as tides, wind, etc). This is what's called "sea level", and its shape is (very close to) spherical. I've had many flat Earthers claim that sundials work just the same on a flat Earth, but not one of them has built and used a sundial. Why don't you be the first? It's easy, there are instructions online. And there are no photos of the Earth from space that also show all the stars around it, for the same reason you can't see stars during the day: if your camera, or your eyes, are adjusted to properly expose the sunlit Earth, the stars are far too dim to register. If you are set to see or photograph the stars, the sunlit Earth will be an overexposed ball of glare.

  26. Yes, we know that Newton was a weirdo. So what? His Universal Theory of Gravity is still good enough to send astronauts to the Moon and back.

  29.  @zReNAgAdE504  "so-called atmosphere"? Lol. What do you breathe? And what is a "point of containment"? There's no point. The entire atmosphere is contained by gravity.

  30. The Earth has been known to be a globe for over two thousand years.

  31. In addition to the other replies, an aircraft trimmed for level flight will tend to remain at a constant altitude, because the air above it is thinner and thus creates less lift, and the air below it is thicker and creates more lift, all other things being equal. So no airplane is going to drift off into outer space.

  32. Nope. Compass needles don't point towards the core, but align themselves parallel to the magnetic field lines. You might want to look this up.

  33.  @robertdakic6503  So how does this magnetic mountain at the North Pole get around? Because magnetic North shifts from year to year. Have you checked out the Earth's magnetic field pictures and explanations? You should do that before claiming that they're wrong.

  37. Galileo was excommunicated and put under house arrest, not killed. The "crime" he was accused of was not saying that the Earth was a globe, which everyone knew, but that it was not the center of the universe. Heliocentrism instead of geocentrism.

  40.  @susettemclachlan8765  The others here have already covered the basic points. I'll just ask this: how many sundials have you designed, built, and used? I'm a sort of sundial freak, and I've designed and built a few. One equatorial sundial disproves the flat Earth. If the Sun were local as all flat Earthers nowadays claim, it could not move the constant 15 degrees an hour across the sky that the sundial shows it does. That's basic geometry. Or is geometry also a conspiracy?

  41. How good are your eyes at seeing the difference between flat and almost perfectly flat? I doubt you can detect a 0.014 degree curve over a mile. That's what the curve is. The Earth is big.

  42. We've known that the Earth is a globe for over two thousand years. Not such a new thang.

  48.  @cardinalRG  We sailors who learned fake celestial navigation had it easier. We were inducted into shilling for the Reptilians. Only veiled threats, and after we were trusted, invitations to their annual Baby Barbecues. Yum.

  49. The reason people think it's flat is because they stay indoors and watch flat Earther videos on youtube, rather than go outside, watch a sunset, and think.
