This thread is stll alive? Nomad you can't be real. You know better, don't you?
Nomad tell me, why is it summer in December where I live whereas in North America it is winter? That is, the days are longer now and get short during July. It is the opposite in North America. Why?
Explain to me why the Orion constellation is upside down now since I moved from Canada? Was my move such a disruptive activity that the cosmos itself was upset? Observe it. Is it upside down?
Lastly explain to me why I cannot see Everest if it is the highest point of the Earth?
Science can start with a flat world view but in light of this gross evidence, or more subtle evidence when distances are much smaller than 10000 km, we reject that and come to another theory that explains these anomalies. That is science.
A circle drawn in a 24 Mpx image will appear as a straight line when you zoom in enough. So a germ on a basketball experiences no detectable curvature.

They won't answer you. I've tried, they can only refute the simplest of arguments for a curved Earth, as soon as things get complicated and you propose some solid evidence they ignore you.
This is true. For example. A transit with a powerful telescope, combined with observations 91 days apart, observations on the sun and on a horizon star, can show the 93 million mile distance to the sun (plus or minus 10%) by trigonometry. Nothing can refute this, since it can be repeated over and over to give a nearly accurate answer. Using a better telescope, and making similar measurements gives the 93 million miles rather accurately.
