Do you actually KNOW that the earth is not flat?

[Jesus_of_Nazareth]

Although I have always accepted the round earth theory - I have realised that I don't personally know that it is

Everywhere I travel the earth always seems pretty flat to me (apart from stuff like Mountains. and tall buildings). ......and that's even when I fly long distance to the (so called) other side of the world.

I am aware that plenty of folk (I think called Scientologists or summit ) claim to know that the earth is round, but then again plenty of them have spent the last 20 years saying I would now be living in desert, up to my neck in water - in a drought......whereas at the moment it is a tad chilly outside, as it often is around here during winter.

I rather suspect a Govt Plot. Or the Jews...or both A World Zionist Govt Plot.......probably something about charging extra for so called "long distance" flights. or summit .

It's round. - I read so in a book.

Well, the topography is really pretty uneven. Hard to call that round unless it's viewed from far away...but flat is out of the question beyond the scale of a few square feet here and there.

Let's see, I've gone East and West. I don't know that Hawaii exists, but Hong Kong does. The segment between Hong Kong and Europe probably does not exist. So you could fall off the edge there.

I've traveled as far as Moscow going east and Dubai going west, so I've circumnavigated with a bit of offset. It's round. Or at least cylindrical.

I vote for cylindrical. Simpler for us.

Those damn maps would finally make sense too.

That's a Comfort to know.

Teach the controversy!

Well I certainly know it's curved. However my experiential evidence does not compare with the statistical likelihood that most of 7 billion have not witnessed that curvature thus my anecdotal evidence is outweighted by the statistics and is thus valueless, apparently.
