@misssarahashplant7493 We do see different stars throughout a year...you even know the constellation names that change seasonally, they are the zodiac constellations. If you actually knew anything about astronomy, you'd know the difference between circumpolar stars and seasonal stars. As Jorge pointed out, if you're going to use the sky as your argument...then don't forget that Earth has TWO hemispheres, with TWO very different night skies. Any explanation for why that is?

Scientific theories are very different from the layman use of the word, they take on a much higher importance. Hypothesis takes the role of the regular use of the word Theory, while a scientific theory is a collection of empirical facts, that help explain HOW a phenomenon works at the mechanical level. Not to be confused with a scientific Law, which only describes WHAT is happening, but makes no attempt to explain HOW or WHY. In that way, a scientific theory is the pinnacle of all research, nothing goes higher than a theory. Because you will always have more power and control over a system, when you understand HOW it works, rather than just WHAT it does. Facts are singular points, that make no attempt to explain how things work either, they are used to build a larger concept, such as theories and laws, but they are not higher than either within science, they just make up the foundations of both. They were wise to use this wording, because we do not know everything and we likely never will. So this means that old information always has the potential to change, as new information is acquired. So the word theory is used, because it allows science the opportunity to adjust and change if or when it needs too, as we acquire new information. That's the reality...science does not think in absolute certainties, it thinks in percentages of certainty....because it really has no other choice. If science were to operate in certainties, never allowing any change to occur as new information is acquired, then we would still today believe that viruses and diseases are the work of fictional gods punishing us for our sins and it's outside of our control to help people. I hope you'd agree, that's not very productive in the slightest to continue believing nonsense that's long been proven false. So maybe learn more about the thing you're attempting to argue against, otherwise you just sound ignorant.

@cwsfanatic23 stumbled upon Flat Earth 3 years ago...have successfully debunked it every day since and I am now more of a Globe Earther today then I ever was, because now I understand far better the science and history that led us to that conclusion.

@kiwiwala Look at a ball that’s roughly a quarter inch from your face, you’ll get an understanding of how far up the ISS really is…not very.

Got any sources or citations to support that claim, or do you expect everyone to just believe it blindly and without question?

@MyNameIsMarisol "...Just look up at moon and sun att the same time in the afternoon.That is impossible on a round. Earth." Not at all...it's actually exactly what we'd expect to see occur with a Moon that orbits a full 360 degrees around us...you'd expect that it would eventually pass into the day side. So why would you think this is impossible exactly?

It doesn't...and the Big Bang wasn't an explosion so much as it was an expansion. What created the planets and the stars was just simple laws of physical attraction over several Billion years. We've even simulated this today with the help of super computers, introducing a bunch of matter into a system of varying density values and then just coding in a few laws similar to the physics of our own reality, that all this matter would abide by. Simple laws of attraction, creating order out of chaos. Very similar to how if you were to shake up a bottle of water, sand and oil, it would be all mixed together...but over time, gravity orders it all by density, fixing the chaos with nothing more then simple attractive forces. The physical laws that govern our reality are what make our planet, the stars...even life, possible. We're slowly figuring out how it does that and it's not as crazy as you may think.

The Moon is also 1/3 the size of Earth and so even just one of those large craters would be hundreds of miles in diameter...while the building is only a few meters tall. I think you're really missing just how massive the Moon is in comparison to a tiny building.

The Church of Rome huh...you mean the same people who tried Galileo for sedition when he presented his work of a heliocentric model? The same church that actively went out of their way to stamp out the heliocentric notion as best they could, by burning books and trying and hanging any scientist who supported the idea? Galileo was lucky, he only got 10 years house arrest...his peers who supported his ideas were not as lucky.

Yup, gravity, you said it.

Because South is not down on the Globe Earth. Down is toward center of mass, so no matter where you stand on the surface of our Globe, down is toward the center of Earth, up is away from center of Earth, this is how gravity works...it pulls to center.
