The earth is flat not spherical

My opponent is correct in saying that the airplane argument has become irrelevant, and this, stemming from his one and only non empirical proof of a spherical earth should be ignored. This leaves us with zero proof of a spherical earth, because if a 9 degree downward dive is hardly noticeable, (I still disagree, an entirely mechanical gyroscope produces an Artificial Horizon on planes and it does not roll back as you travel over the globe) an even slighter degree of turn would also be unnoticeable. Flight paths My opponent reinforces his stance by saying "" The flight stops at a major city most likely to drop off/pick up other passengers, which will spare the company both time, available planes, and money.-" Even if the flight would take longer." This would be a fairly reasonable explanation, if the distance to the "stop" weren't roughly the same distance as simply flying across the ocean to the original destination. The plane could make a stop for refuel in New Zealand. As for the non-stop flights, the fact that anyone can go to delta.com which is the most reputable and longer-lasting airline company (the least susceptible to cancellations and False flights) and book a flight from Sydney to Southern South America and see that they ALL do indeed make stops in North America should be reason enough to doubt that the non-stop flights even exist. These flights were just recently implemented because of these findings. Many of them are only available a few days a week. I am sure that if one were to book these flights something would inevitably cause these flights to never occur. At this point it is entirely up to the voters to make that decision. It is also entirely possible that the map could be wrong. As I stated before this is not the only flight path that is questionably retarded on a globe but makes sense on a flat Earth map but since this is our last round I will not provide any new proofs, that is left to our voters to research. Please Google the flat-earth baby though. Distances cited "The distortion happened precisely at evening, proving the superior mirage explanation to an even further degree. The reason to this is because the superior mirage happens only when there is a difference between the temperatures in the layers of air, meaning that the mirage cannot happen at night." Yet, the time lapse video I provide clearly shows the entire city visible from dawn to dusk you will notice the lights kick on when it gets dark out again this cannot be a mirage because mirages are a rare occurrence and cannot happen all day. I personally saw no Distortion net worth be related to any Mirage(inversions). Reflections on water My opponent is suggesting that the Earth is concave while arguing for a spherical Earth. While this is a plausible Theory, it is another debate altogether. My point is that you cannot get this reflection on a convex surface. If my opponent actually did the experiment and held the sheet metal up to eye level with the other end pointed at a light he would see that this can only be caused on a flat surface and anyone can prove this and in my opinion, this empirical evidence still stands. 4. Shifting the burden of proof As in most debates the burden of proof should rest on both parties. This late round "proof" is hardly empirical to say the least. As this is the last round I feel it would take more time in character too investigate this proof further in order to understand and explain it thoroughly to our voters. In conclusion I for one have not been convinced by my opponent that the Earth is spherical. I realize that my opponent loves the idea that he is living on a gigantic ball, and cannot be convinced otherwise. This is understandable and relates to the indoctrination system. I do hope however that my opponent looks at this topic with a new light from here on and the fact that the Bible is a flat Earth book which many atheists like to throw around to discredit it.
