Do You Believe the Earth is Flat and Why?

Well thats better than the bullshit I thought they would come up with, which is that mount everest is a lie as well lol.

They think Earth is flat, yet the term atmosphere is perfectly acceptable. It's almost as if these people are not the most mentally adept.

Yes they also claim the sun gets farther away and never actually rises/sets, contrary to a lifetime of experience.

The same is supposed to be true of the moon as well, despite both seeming even larger closer to the level of the horizon.

Plus if they got further away, shadows would prove it. Shadows prove otherwise.

So does sunlight, which hits the bottoms of clouds when the bottoms are angled toward it.

If anyone angles their bottoms at me, ladies only please.

I did a quick search and it seems our Flat Earth friends try and explain it away but it is hardly convincing.

The sun travels only above the earth in a circular motion.
The sun doesn't set. It only travels farther away to the other side of the earth.

I explained to the flat earther that there is a difference between a plane that flies away and becomes smaller (crossing the sky) and a sun that travels downward and stays the same size. He has willful ignorance and refuses to acknowledge the obvious difference. He is literally ignoring a lifetime of watching sunsets and sunrises.

Will do.

I finally saw "Behind the Curve". I wish the film had more about their beliefs. I also thought the craftsman was very talented. I'm not surprised about the ending. They only want confirmation for their incorrect belief. The flat earther I know does the same thing. Bring up proof that he's wrong and he pretends it doesn't exist or tries to explain it away.

The flat earther I know repeats ""density and buoyancy", "water is level" "gravity doesn't exist" and "water doesn't curve".

Satellites can't orbit a flat Earth.

Take a look at the photos from Himawari-8:
https://himawari8.nict.go.jp/

Himawari-8 is a Japanese weather satellite that is in a geostationary orbit at a Lagrange point far enough out that it is able to take full, hi-resolution images of the entire earth. These are not satellite strip photos or any form of composite image; these are single-shot images of the full sphere of the earth. Even better... a new image is taken by the satellite every 10 minutes! That means there are, from this one satellite alone, 144 images of the full sphere of the earth taken every day.

Because this updates so frequently, and you can zoom in quite close, it is possible to confirm that the weather patterns and cloud cover from the images conforms to the images of the same systems you can get from ground-based weather tracking, confirming the images are real and not some kind of "Photoshopped" representation of the Earth.

I also believe there is an American GOES weather satellite that does the same thing as Himawari-8, but the resolution is not as good. There are plans to put up a new GOES satellite in the near future that will have the same hi-res capabilities of Himawari-8, but focused on the North American hemisphere.

Just as with anything, those that are steadfast in the "Earth is flat" mindset will also disavow these images, again believing they are all CGI... but when people are that far down the rabbit hole, nothing is going to change their minds.

Take a look at the website I included above. It really is quite fascinating!
