@ColeBeeRyan - You do know that you can see satellites yourself, right? :-)
Anyway, I can prove it, but first we need to establish a baseline that we can both agree on.
So before discussing the globe itself, consider an area of land small enough for the curvature of the Earth to have negligible effect, such as your town or city.
EVERYONE can find an accurate map of their own town/city, where that map features a small bar or line showing the distance on that map that represents 1 mile/km or 5 mile/km or similar, i.e. the scale of the map.
That way, we can take any route across our town/city and accurately measure the distance just by using our map.
Likewise we can take any two locations on our map and measure it to easily work out the distance in the real world and it will be correct, proving that the map is an accurate representation of our town/city.
In fact, the accuracy of the map means people who are visiting your town/city for the very first time can use it to accurately navigate your entire town/city and can work out the exact distance of any route, just from the map alone!
So do you agree with the above? If not, then can you explain why not please?

You are essentially lying, even if it's just to yourself, and hence you need to do your own research instead of just parroting what others have told you :-|
Take eclipses for example...
...adding to MrSirhcsellor's excellent reply;
The Saros cycle was created by people over generations who observed eclipses and found PATTERNS in how and when those eclipses repeated.
By understanding those repeating patterns they were able to predict when certain types of eclipses would occur in future, to a good accuracy (a solar eclipse happens during a new moon, a lunar eclipse during a full moon of course)!
However, the Saros cycle does NOT give us the accuracy almost to the second of when an eclipse will start and end, nor does it provide us with the EXACT path of a total solar eclipse across the earth's surface, making it possible for people to prepare years in advance to be exactly where they'd need to be to observe the eclipse.
So the Saros cycle is not good enough for today's astronomy except for listing and categorizing eclipses.
For the precise details of an eclipse, including the start time and the end time and the exact path across the earth's surface, we need to use mathematics based upon the globe model.
Therefore please go ahead and present your evidence of a flat Earth model that predicts when an eclipse will start and end AND provides us with the EXACT path of a total solar eclipse across the earth's surface.
Without that evidence, your argument is proven to be null and void, but nice try :-)

List all the science shows and science channels that Eris SAYS he approached for a debate on flat Earth and yet they refused him. That's right, he hasn't, he hides behind the safety of his and other conspiracy channels and conspiracy shows.
So by your logic, Eric is a coward :-)
Besides, Neil is 100% right to ignore him. After all, should Neil also debate concave/hollow Earth theorists, alien UFO theorists, alien abduction theorists, spaceship moon theorists, ghost/spirit theorists, witchcraft theorists, paranormal theorists, electric universe theorists, alien crop circle theorists, etc, and hence give them the publicity and credence that they desperately seek?
Why should Neil make flat Earth theorists a special case for debate compared to theorists for other conspiracy claims out there (some of which I've listed above)? :-)
