The light source can still be omnidirectional, it's just much smaller and less bright. As I said, light scatters in the atmosphere. Travel far enough and you won't be able to see it anymore.

ok

but what about the planet

how was that formed

because there's one huge flaw in the argument

which is gravity

Gravity is applied to mass

because there's no logical explanation for how the "flat" earth could have been formed

This is a Christian server. Many to most of the FEers here believe in Creation.

ah

*i guess there's little point in trying to debunk that then*

you're right, though. GR wouldn't produce a flat earth.

yeah

how is the globe earth formed ?

gravity

if an object has enough mass, it attracts objects around it

^

a large enough asteroid could draw in debris from around it and gain mass, therefore increasing it's gravitational pull

the cycle would continue until there isn't any mass in the area and the planet is formed

the planet would be round because gravity is a field, hence it reaches out in every direction and gets progressively weaker

meaning that the earth would be round

that's how the "globe" earth was formed

according to science

FEers challenge the legitimacy of gravity.

yeah

i'm aware of that

but @H8mz88 was questioning how the "globe" earth was formed if gravity existed

yeah ?

yeah

yep.

"how is the globe earth formed"

so ?

so?

i just explained it to you

alright thx ?

the reason I use gravity as a way to challenge the flat earth theory is because it's a sound theory, and hasn't been disproven yet

you're welcome, i guess

There's two other explanations for gravity that I've heard. One, I'm not permitted to discuss here, as it's considered propaganda from a controlled opposition, and two, is density / buoyancy, where objects that are more dense than air are forced downward.

propaganda?

and forced downwards where?

forced downward relative to our position on earth.
