Finding your theories hard to believe... convince me!

Hey flat-earthers...

First of all I want to say that I'm actually interested in your community and I'm not here to debunk you!!!

Recently I've been watching a load of videos mainly debunking the theories you guys have about your version of the earth. I thought it was pretty obvious that your theories are wrong and here is the reason why:

1. Flat-earthers seem (in my eyes) to have a hard time to uniformly agree on how the earth works. You guys seem to all have a different opinion on the same matters which, to the eyes of a non flat earther, makes is seem like there is a lot of confusion within this community which makes it hard to believe anything you say. (imagine your friend telling you the same story every day but with slight differences... kinda feels like that)

2. I've seen a lot of videos of flat earthers claiming that they found out that gravity doesn't exist or "actual proof for a flat earth" but when it comes time to actually proof their statements these videos either do a poor job explaining themselves or don't explain their statements at all.

3. Many of the video's I've seen conflict with each other when explaining the same concept.

I would like to know your opinion on a few subjects and also see if you are able to explain:

1. What force is used to make sure objects fall back to earth? how does it work? why would gravity as the non flat earth people describe it not work?

2. How does the Antarctica thing work? why has nobody tried to go over the "ice wall"? What happens when somebody does?

3. What's on the other sides of the flat earth? (bottom and side)... Can we get to those sides?

4. Why would a government try to hide the shape of the earth to it's habitants? Hiding the shape would be a multi-billion dollar operation... (probably the most costly project ever executed by mankind). what would be worth such amounts of money?

5. How come, if the earth is flat, we have no reports of anyone, in recent years, of seeing the side of the earth? how about satellites?

6. How are all distances calculated in the flat earth theories? why are you show sure that you're calculations don't match up with a round earth?

Thanks for your awnsers! I hope you guys can proof yourselfs to me as i'm interested in what you guys have to say!

Thank you for putting all of this in one place, these are just the questions I wanted answered. But if any one would like to take the time to also answer one more question that would be great.

I have sailed before on tall ships on the open ocean, when other boats or land disappears over the horizon even if you use a telescope you still can't see it. Also When you climb high on the mast you can increase the distance that you can see. How is this explained with a flat earth?

I will try to share in the work load by answering some of your questions to the best of my ability. Disclaimer: see my signature.

B1. Granted what you say, this site does seek to have a single theory. I am not sure how complete it is.

B5. I believe this site does not believe in satellites.

B6. See my signature line. I believe this is unanswered.
