Flat Earth Theory / Re: Why do you believe the Earth is Flat ?

Wow, that proves everything!
This is a simplistic statement that covers the essence of flat-earth theory for many. The earth is flat because that's how we see it. People say it's a sphere, but that's counter-intuitive and notoriously difficult to demonstrate. It makes more sense that it's flat and we aren't swayed, as of yet, with evidence to the contrary.
The problem with flat earthers seems to be that they see things from their own narrow point of view. Perhaps they have been disadvantaged in their lack of education and knowledge or experience in their occupations of the reality that the earth is a globe. This is a fact which has been known for centuries. Flat earthers seem to be lacking in knowledge in a lot of fields. It seems that if they don't know anything about something they simply deny that they don't exist. Either this is the reason that flat earthers believe that the earth is flat. Or it may be that the so-called flat earthers on this website no more believe that the earth is flat than any other normal person and just want to invent flat earth fantasies for the sake of debate. There is nothing difficult about demonstrating the fact that the earth is a globe.
The simple key is "facts" and "evidence." There are ample supplies of these for a globe earth and none for a flat earth.
You say that flat earthers have a "narrow point of view" however you are the one unable or unwilling to look at this from a different point of view other than your own. I can't pick a side, but can you show me one picture of the earth that shows curvature? And I mean a picture that is unedited and is not taken through a fish eye lens. You can't because there are none that exist. There is more evidence to support the flat earth theory than the round earth theory. You were probably taught from a young age that the earth is round, so was I, but I am keeping an open mind to what might be reality.
