The Earth Is Flat

"Where do you think the edge is? "You need to answer that question. You think the earth is flat, Not me. I already asked you, If the earth is flat, Give me the circumference of it. "Why can't the flat earth be infinite? "So you're proposing that the flat earth is infinite? That would mean the earth's size would never end. That would mean the earth is bigger than the sun (which it is not). That would mean that the earth is bigger than Jupiter (which it is not). That would mean the earth would be bigger than all 8 planets in the solar system combined. Do you understand how all of that sounds? Scrap all of that. Let's go back to the sun. The sun is pretty darn big. That would mean the earth has to be bigger than the sun if it is infinite. That is simply not true. Even if the earth is flat, As you say, It's not bigger than the sun, So the earth is not infinite. I think you're at least smart enough to acknowledge this. If not, Then I'd hope that you are trolling. If you are, Then you've done a very good job of fooling me. If the earth was infinite, There would be no galaxy, Space, Or stars. I honestly think that you know full well that the earth is not infinite. "The earth is apparently 4 times larger than the moon. Yet it casts a shadow on the moon that appears to be from a a object the same size as the moon. "That's because the earth and the moon are very far away from each other. Approximately 238, 900 miles. Source will be in the comments. "Does this look like a sphere to you? "For starters, That's not a very good picture, And that is a questionable source. But even on that image, It does look spherical, Because it is a sphere just like all the other planets. Going more in depth. All I will do is ask a series of questions and see if you can answer them accurately. My R2 already debunks the earth being flat so I will just be asking these: 1. It's seems as though you and many other flat-earthers deny the fact of gravity existing so you avoid it in an argument. So in your case, Let's ignore gravity at the moment pretending as if it doesn't exist. 1a. If the earth is flat why and how have people sailed ships around it twice over without ever falling off? 1b. [Point] It is possible to see the effect of the curvature of the earth from sea level (ships disappearing over the horizon). 2. If the earth is flat, What happens to the oceans? Wouldn't they just spill over the edge? 3. How would seasons work? How would GPS and satellites work on a flat earth? 4. [Point] If you are high enough in an airplane, The curvature of the earth is very apparent. Airplanes overlap the earth. 4a. If the earth is flat why has nobody ever been able to find the edge or even document it? 5. If NASA has supposedly faked thousands of images of the round earth, Why isn't there even one picture of the edge? 6. Why would so many people be pretending that the earth is round? What benefit of lying about the shape of the earth serve? What exactly would it gain? 7. If the earth is flat, Then how are the rest of the planets in the solar system spherical? 8. Please explain this, The earth's layers. The inner core, Outer core, Mantle and the crust -- something of which the spherical earth does have. If the earth is flat, Then what's inside the flat earth? Is the inner core still in the center? Being skeptical is important, Sure but when the evidence is overwhelming and the science testable and provable there comes to a point where a question has an answer and there's hard hitting facts smack dab in front of your face, And by denying those facts, It is blind-sided. To conclude:Is the earth flat? No it's not. It is round. The flat earth theory has been debunked time and time again but still many flat- earthers persist with their views. This shouldn't even be a theory. There's definitely a deeper reason as why people believe in a flat earth, And that has a lot to do with psychology. According to Karen Douglas, A psychologist at the University of Kent, That studies the psychology of conspiracy theories -- Flat earther's conspiracy theories share a basic trust. They present an alternative theory about an important issue or event, And construct a vague explanation for why someone is covering up that true version of events. The power in that conspiracy lies in the fact that they are vague, And they give people a sense of security, Control and comfort that they don't otherwise have. Flat-earthers gather in forums, Online communities and at conventions to talk about their beliefs. The flat earth society gives them a sense of community. Honestly, What people don't realize is that many flat-earthers say the earth is flat but don't actually believe it, As in it's just one huge joke or a way to get attentionPrime example, People on this website who troll and pretend they think the earth is flat. I've encountered at least two people on this site that pretended they are flat-earthers but they are really not. I had a debate with one of those people. They were arguing that the earth is flat and I was of course arguing that the earth is round, But they revealed to me at the end that they were joking and they know that the earth is round and not flat. I wonder, Is this the same case for you? Enlighten me. Thanks for the debate. I will respond to your last argument in the comments.
