Scientific evidence overwellmingly supports a flat earth

I discovered all your original sourcing was from a highly dubious site called theflatearthsociety. org. Nevertheless I will briefly refute each point. Points made in round one ‘The common sense of man tells him - if nothing else told him - that there is an "up" and a "down" in -nature, even as regards the heavens and the earth; but the theory of modern astronomers necessitates the conclusion that there is not: therefore, 'the theory of the astronomers is opposed to common sense - yes, and to inspiration - and this is a common sense proof that the Earth is not a globe. ’ Here, pro enters the realms of pre-science to prove his theory. His perception that there is an up and a down is indeed true. However these exist alongside forward, right left and backwards. It was difficult to really understand this statement, but I suppose it indicates that you are unaware of curvature while standing still. This is because the curvature of earth is to such a gradual degree that it is not felt while standing in one place. ‘like from the english mechanic. The english mechanic is a peer reviewed science journal. Before round earth bias was speread they published this…. ’ This article appearing in this Journal was indeed the product of an early experiment on the Bedford canal[i]. However upon further research I found that although this early result seemed to indicate a flat earth, later attempts did indeed verify evidence the earth is round. The error in his investigation was that his method involved a set of three poles fixed at equal height above water level along this length. As the surface of the water was assumed to be level, the discovery that the middle pole, when viewed carefully through a theodolite, was almost three feet higher than the poles at each end was finally accepted as a new proof that the surface of the earth was indeed curved. ‘Surveyors' operations in the construction of railroads, tunnels, or canals are conducted without the slightest "allowance" being made for "curvature," although it is taught that this so-called allowance is absolutely necessary! This is a cutting proof that Earth is not a globe. There should be a curvature factor if said earth is a globe. Being that engerneering has never found it, the earth is flat. ’ Again, the gradual nature of the curve deceives someone constructing short constructions such as tunnels. For railways and canals if drawn from point to point on a map the curvature of the earth is indeed present on the map, can pro please give the quotation a little more context if I misunderstand. ‘I could go on. But proof coems to proof of flat earth Philosophy proves it Science proves it Mariners prove it Engenerring proves it The Earth IS FLAT’ I beg you to go on, it seems that your dubious website has run out of sources so I encourage you to find some more to support your hypothesis. Pro round two Here I was impressed with some of what you had to say. I will again break it down: The first half was about NASA being a supposedly fake organisation, which is totally irrelevant to the resolution so all this will be ignored. 2. Sinking Ship effect This is good proof of a flat earth. It is proven that the ship does not sink behind a hill of water, but that it is actually perspective which hides it. This demonstrates that the earth is not a globe. There have been experiments where half-sunken ships have been restored by simply looking at them through telescopes, showing that they are not actually hiding behind "hills of water" (3). Your source here was totally unreliable and there have been no experiments which prove what you are saying. 3: Possible to Circumnavigate the Globe This is no problem. It is a proof too It is utterly impossible to circumnavigate the Earth in any other than an easterly or a westerly direction; and the fact is perfectly consistent and clear in its relation to Earth as a Plane. . Now, since astronomers would not be so foolish as to damage a good cause by misrepresentation, it is presumptive evidence that their cause is a bad one, and - a proof that Earth is not a globe. The earth being flat still had a back side. Yeah it can be taken underneath. This argument is the weakest of all. How is it known that it is impossible to circumnavigate north? Please explain. 4: Timezones Day and night cycles are easily explained on a flat earth. The sun moves in circles around the North Pole. When it is over your head, it's day. When it's not, it's night. The sun acts like a spotlight and shines downward as it moves. The picture below illustrates how the sun moves and also how seasons work on a flat earth. Here the argument is weakest. Imagine you are sat on an enormous flat plate. A spotlight slowly moves around the plate illuminating the area slowly. If you look up you will be able to see the spotlight despite it not shining onto your eyes because it is always visible. This is not the case for those on planet earth, evidenced by the hidden sun during night time. Closing Remarks I appreciate your tenacity and look forward to your round three.
