The earth is an oblate spheroid

"My opponent seems to have missed the obvious implication, which I honestly did not think needed to be spelt out. There are a host of bodies, both public and private, that have satellites in orbit that can take pictures of the earth and confirmed that the earth is round. As there is such an array of options which one I used isn't really relevant because there being a wealth of such imagery is common and very basic knowledge. In this case, in case it is ever relevant, I went with NAZA's DSCOVR satellite which usually takes several pictures a day (https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov......)." Regardless of who and what produced these images, the point stands. Images can be faked. This leaves doubt. My opponent, in order to provide irrefutable evidence that we live on a spinning ball, must do so beyond all doubt. Since Photoshop and its cousins exist, this should be a clearcut case that the doubt has been sufficiently cast, and the resolution has been negated. My opponent may be gullible enough to believe every image he sees on his TV or PC, but I'd like to believe that most of us aren't that gullible. "Please feel free to provide them. Also feel free to explain why this is relevant. Do you have proof that the array of photos taken from massess of satellites run by the national and international space organisations and private satellite communication companies across the globe are all part of a conspiracy to defraud humankind in regards to the shape of the Earth? Then what does your professed photoshop skill matter because that does not refute the pictures." I should not provide anything, since I've nothing to prove. Let alone why "space organizations" would lie about the shape of the earth. I'd guess unless they did provide images for the gullible, they would lose funding of almost $18billion per year. That's about $50 million per day. Stargate cost just $55million in 1994. I can present images and videos of a 200 foot gorilla kidnapping white chicks and climbing buildings, but that is proof only that I've presented pictures and videos of king kong. "Please note that the first step of the process CON has laid out in the link is to literally google and use pictures of a spherical earth that NASA has taken from orbit." That doesn't make them any more infalliable, this is a strawman. "My opponent is apparently unaware that there being space agencies run by professional experts who arrange for pictures to be taken from space and verify their authoenticity. You know, like NASA. Or he is being intentionally obtuse and refusing to engage with my argument." My opponent appears to pur much trust in these "professional experts" to profess to him something that can never be personally validated. This is the equivalent of a preacher saying that God exists and pointing at the Bible as evidence. NASA has professed that imagery they produce is Photoshop on multiple accounts. They've presumably had several thousand satellites in orbit around the earth at varying heights since the birth of NASA, but even the iPhone "blue marble" from 2012 is confessed created, and nearly every one before that. https://www.nasa.gov... From it's creator: "The last time anyone took a photograph from above low Earth orbit that showed an entire hemisphere (one side of a globe) was in 1972 during Apollo 17." Even the so called satellite that took the images my opponent offers has produced questionable results. http://thecoincidencetheorist.com...
