Sorry to revive this thread, but i would still love a good answer .
You won't get one, sadly. They can't answer it, because Earth isn't flat.
I joined this board because I am genuinely fascinated by the Flat Earth Society. The very idea that such a thing exists now is interesting. A sad reflection on the post-truth world we find ourselves in but interesting none-the-less.
So I wanted to see what arguments were being put forward in favour of a flat earth. The answer seems to be there aren't any.
They just stubbornly stick to assertions made in a book written in Victorian times - things like "perspective makes things disappear below the horizon".
They keep repeating this lie despite a complete inability to explain how that would work on a flat plane or photographic demonstrations of it.
I don't know what they think is so special about this book anyway. Proclamations from it are treated as Gospel.
There isn't even an agreed map of a flat earth. There is no way sunsets can happen, no explanation of how clouds can be lit from below.
I posted a picture to demonstrate that in another thread. Ignored.
I've pointed out how perspective actually works several times. Ignored.
I posted a video of a sailing boat slowly disappearing over the horizon and no amount of optical zoom will "restore" it. Ignored.
Every debate on here goes the same way. Flat Earthers asked to explain something. They basically can't so after a bit of back and forth and being presented with facts which can't be explained any other way than on a round earth they run away. Facts just bounce off them.
