Flat Earth Theory / Re: Apollo 8 astronaut William Ander's Earthrise???

Well this is most unfortunate. Any quest that ever hopes to find any truth will only live in the heart of the seeker who holds no prejudice for where that truth might lead.
Without being able to discredit the photos, or recreate them through artificial means it only seems fair and logical to accept them as real and true. This does not inherently mean that a photo, no matter how it looks, can't be explained within the realms of one's belief, say a flat earth belief. Without giving honest consideration and feedback to such a claim I don't see how any belief can be considered as anything more than such - a person's chosen belief. I am a Christian and believe God created the Earth and have many debates with people that believe otherwise, yet at the end of the debate we still left with only our beliefs because there is no reasonable way to recreate such an event, photos of the event or the like for either cause.
Unfortunately, because I was rather intrigued by the adventure of such a reality, I can't see any reason for thinking that the Flat Earth belief is any different. Most unfortunate for believers of the Flat Earth kind there is a photo that exists that gives rise to the counter argument. Also, and rather unfortunate, unlike my Christian belief where I have experienced things that lead me to this belief I am still left where I started on this quest; neither feeling or seeing proof for a globular earth no a flat earth (maybe we are on/in something altogether different?). I am somewhat swayed by that photo however.
Thank you to those that responded.
