'And not just governments but mariners, pilots, astronauts, astronomers, physicists, geologists also going back decades and centuries.'

Mariners. Always getting lost because the globe calculations don't add up.
Apparently they travel around in a circle and not upside down on magical upside down sea.
Pilots. landing on a spinning ball travelling at 1000mph is impossible.
They would get the opposite way of spin so much faster but they don't.
They make no adjustment for a curvature.
This list is way too long to list.
Astronauts. All in the masonic club and given a hell of a lot of money to act and lye.
Physicists & geologists. Working off bs teachings about a globe and gravity and even depicting the globe from surface to core.the truth is the deepest hole ever drilled is not deep at all. I seem to remember 80 miles.

It's all easily explained really.
Still no globe proof anyway

Ive been a mariner for 32 years now and never been lost once.  The only way to NOT get lost over long distances (crossing the pacific for example) is to use non euclidean geometery to plot your course.  This allows you to accurately plot a course over a curved surface.  A globe or a sphere being that curved surface.  Its if it were a flat earth where we would have navigational problems.

Like i said you could repeat Eratosthenes experiment yourself and measure the circumference of the world with a stick and a calculator.
Sure it wouldn't be anywhere near as entertaining as watching conspiracy videos on youtube but it would allow you to demonstrate for yourself that the world is a sphere.

And hey if the story about Eratosthenes is a lie you'll be able to prove that too wouldn't you by showing his experiment does not work.

It's already been debunked

No it really hasn't , just because someone who doesn't know what they are talking say so doesn't make it so.   Science doesn't care what you believe.

ahh well you know the old saying, you can lea a horse to water but you cant make it drink .....

I prefer the new version I made up a while back "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think".

Every argument that makes sense or have been proven by may different people in different times like why are all the other planets round, why could I navigate the globe, .... , just loads, all get dismissed, not disproved, just dismissed for nothing other than it doesn't suit me.  Whereas the most heterogeneous set of kludged pseudoscience theories to support FE are treated as respectable despite not working as a complete system with no exceptions as the globe model does .   Outrageous double standards being applied to the arguments levels of proof.

Well there has been some good points made here and I'm not going to push this any further for now.
I must admit I'm leaning towards the globe now though but I'll remain on the fence for a while and see what FE come up with.
Thanks for the input ppl

[jtc]

Oh and if I offended anyone then I'm sorry.
I just like the debate
