Title: Why is the earth the only flat planet?
Post by: sirtomato on November 22, 2019, 04:31:59 PM
If the Earth is flat, why? How was it created? Why aren't other planets flat?

Also, how is the Earth flat if you can clearly see the Fresnel effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations) on the earth (edges of round-ish objects being shiny)

How do you know the other planets are not flat?

Telescopes? I mean anyone can watch the planets rotate in the course of a single night.

Since no flat earthers have answered, I'll try.
Most FE'rs claim that all images from space depicting a globe earth are faked.
Most FE'rs I've spoken with claim that the earth and the other planets that we can visibly observe to rotate on an axis aren't in the same category objects. As in earth isn't a planet.

Which planets can we visibly observe to rotate on an axis ?

The expectation is that newcomers will read the FAQ.
