My issue with flat earth is this: what reason do we have for thinking that is the case? Let’s say we can poke holes in the spherical model of Earth. Let’s say there’s some issues with “putting all the data together” into a single coherent spherical model. But why then assume that the Earth is flat? Why not a cube? Is there a compelling, mathematically/scientifically rigorous model for a flat Earth?
