Give us some FE equations. Something that’ll predict seasons, the motion of the stars (different stars between N/S hemispheres!), the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and eclipses (solar and lunar) to the same or better accuracy as round earth.
Give some testable hypothesis predicted by your model, let’s go see if it works in the real world.
Let’s do some real science.
You conveniently left out the most important things that I listed confirming globe theory, being lunar eclipses and the fact that a different set of stars is visible in the southern hemisphere. These astronomical facts aren’t difficult to confirm for yourself.
Any model of reality has to be able to describe reality to be taken seriously. Unless you can present me with another model that does everything the globe model can, or more, the globe model is the best we have.
And to answer your question, no, I don’t think it’s simply a matter of convincing the population of a lie. Certain things are evident to anyone that looks. For example, (healthy) grass is green. Sure it’s technically possible that it’s not actually green and reality has the color of the light change on the way to our eyes from what the grass really looks like, but for all intents and purposes, grass is green, it’s the simplest and best explanation we have, and it’s sufficient to describe what we observe in reality.
Be careful you don’t fall into a trap targeting your emotions, your desire for things you’ve been taught to be lies. Blindly rejecting what you’ve been taught without looking at objective reality is just as bad as blindly accepting it. Flat earth can’t explain lunar eclipses, nor can it answer why people see different sets of stars depending on if they’re north or south of the equator, nor can it explain why we all see the same circular moon. Prove me wrong and I’ll take FE seriously, but be prepared to do some math.
Can you give a source for that? I couldn’t find one myself.
Again, source? I quickly found a website that directly contradicts that statement, so you’ll have to find something better than just some website that says the same words you just said without any “deeper” evidence.
“simply”, even though this would require light from the stars and sun and moon to bend in incredibly strange and inconsistent ways (that we don’t observe at all on the ground) in order to be visible at the times and locations we see in reality, at the angles we observe.
When was that written? What was our understanding of the word “star”? If the point of that passage was to “paint a picture” of what the world would look like, “stars falling from the sky” could mean anything where a multitude of bright objects starts falling, like a meteor shower or a fleet of aircraft. If it’s that last explanation, why would God want to reveal to humanity that they’d invent flying machines? It might mess up His plan.
Visibility on a globe earth is trigonometric in nature, as opposed to linear, as a simple factor of some “inches per square mile” would imply. That is a misrepresentation of the globe model, the real equations involve trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, and tangent.
If you think God couldn’t do this in a “globe reality” then you underestimate His power.
This could mean any number of things. This could take place at one specific location. It also could involve any kind of bending of space. This is describing a future event and we have no idea how it’ll happen and what this show of power will look like in the specifics.
God using a flat object as a footstool makes just as much sense as Him using a round one. This proves nothing.
This is a past event none of us were around for. And this description does not contradict the globe model. The globe model describes the present to incredible accuracy.
This can be done in a number of ways. You restrict your imagination to thinking that this means “everyone on earth will have a direct line of sight to one particular point”. God can accomplish this thing in any number of ways.
Either light bends to make some stars invisible at certain places and to make the sun and moon invisible at other times and appear at certain angles at certain places on a flat earth, or light in the sky moves in a straight line to let everyone see all of it at once. Pick one.
I do not understand what you are trying to prove with point 8.
Try again.
Edit: Your link doesn’t work, but I found where I think you wanted to direct me to. A lot of these “proofs” are based on misunderstandings of the globe model. I would write out why each of them are either wrong, nonsensical, or require more evidence, but there are youtube videos that do it better than I could in the time and space I have to write this comment. Professor Dave Explains has good videos with sound reasoning on the subject if you can wade through the condescension.
