Justification For A Flat Earth
Summary of the Discussion
A person new to the concept of a flat Earth asks a proponent (DJ) to explain the difference between the flat Earth and globe Earth models and to provide evidence.
The Flat Earther argues that their primary evidence is direct, everyday experience: the ground feels stationary, water surfaces appear perfectly flat, and the horizon looks flat. He contrasts this with the globe model, which he describes as a “belief system” taught from a young age that contradicts our senses. He claims Globe Earthers experience a flat, motionless world but believe it’s a rapidly spinning, curving sphere.
The newcomer counters by suggesting that the Earth is simply too large for its curvature to be perceptible to a small human. The Flat Earther agrees this is the standard explanation but claims that when objective measurements are taken, no curvature is found. He uses the example of a 10-mile lake, explaining that according to globe mathematics, there should be 66 feet of curvature, which would hide the opposite shore. However, he asserts that in reality, one can see straight across, which he presents as proof that the Earth is flat. The conversation concludes with the newcomer asking about the group’s belief in NASA.
