Flat Earth Community / i have some questions

« on: December 04, 2017, 08:01:36 PM »

I would like to know what the government has to gain by lying to people about the shape of the earth. Some people say it's for money but that doesn't really make any sense. Besides in 1969 it would have been cheaper to actually go to the moon than to fake it. For me as a person it doesn't mean that much to me if the world is round, flat, a cube, or whatever. The point being it doesn't matter. So if the world were flat, why would anyone care enough to lie about it.

Flat Earth Theory / I have a question and also some doubts

So I have heard about the Sinking ship proof, but I have sailed on several Tall ships before and have used a telescope out on the open ocean. I have never experienced the situation that is described. For me, once a ship disappears over the horizon, I can no longer see it. telescope or not. Another thing, if it were true that a telescope could make it so that you can see over the horizon then theoretically, if I had a good enough telescope, I could see across the Atlantic ocean to Spain? I live in Maine.
