if you think the atmosphere distorts things that much, then it could make things appear in the distance above the curve

your logic

He doesn't even know what the scientific method is. He can't prove the globe to himself, let alone anyone else.

The error can't be the same as you would have to measure the atmosphere

@Polar is clearly the smartest among you, he realises grabbity is a theory

it was photographed from up high in 1947, easy

To confirm that

@YouRYou goto #civil debate

But then again, in the flat earth model, the sun and moons movement is just a theory and the fact that we have a dome over our heads is a theory, (some flat earthers dont think that) and how the earth was created is just a theory

You are clogging the chat

Oh ok

Both sides have theories in them

@Polar no evidence for a dome too

Well here I am

flat earth is a hypothesis

So is the globe

with evidence

To be honest it all comes down to what model has more proven facts and less theories to base things on

Do I exist?

nope

sorry

Even less of one, actually. We have no direct observations of the earth being a globe so it doesn't even meet that criteria of experimentation.

@🍄The Mad Philosopher🍄 photos from up high, direct evidence

horizon drop with altitude, direct measurement

now you'll call them fake

@YouRYou Wrong.

predictable

Balloons go higher and see no curve than any flight that claims you can. @YouRYou

The observation are all true, but you can't prove that spherical earth is the cause of those occultations

where are pictures of flat earth from up high?

@🍄The Mad Philosopher🍄 Now that goes into the field of trusting your senses, which isnt always true

@🍄The Mad Philosopher🍄 the thing you said earlier

is that field of view wide enough to show the curve?

nice picture, but not evidence.

ok what about this one'

@Polar I understand that, but you can only make so many of those excuses before you have to take notice.
