Ignoring that ancient mathematicians were able to calculate the size of the earth with pretty good results, considering their “world spanning empires” are what we’d consider regional now.
Also that you can literally watch a ship come over the horizon, seeing it’s sails first before the body actually moves into view. If the earth were flat the entire thing would be visible the entire time.
You can’t reason people out of positions they didn’t reason themselves into.
But I thought water always found its level, that’s why they think water will just flow off a round earth because they fundamentally do not understand gravity or basic, high school, physics.
They also point out that passenger aircraft don’t fly above 60,000ft, only to ignore footage from other types of aircraft ascending above the stratosphere and clearly showing the globe
They’re just lying to themselves, doing mental gymnastics, or whatever you wanna call it. Thus no point in arguing with them
I mean, technically you cannot descern a curve until you’re very high up but that’s primarily because the earth is so god damn huge and our eyes are not scientific equipment.
Oh, ok then

The ships thing, they explain that away with “sea mountains”…I wish I was kidding…

Yeah, I don’t think they understand most of any of the contradictory things they posit.
