Thanks for your post, but all that you have covered I have given reasons for and why they also do happen on a flat plain, so this proves nothing & it certainly gives no evidence for space travel. OK they can go so far up but that's it. Don't forget, God's firmament is there for the earths protection, you need to watch MS's video again.

You've been given evidence; you won't accept it.

That's because the evidence presented for a rotating earth is either CGI or images that have been shot are through a fish-eyed lens.

I'm not going over your circle nonsense again as IMO you are just embarrassing yourself by keep going on about this ridiculous notion.

How do you know that the evidence presented for a rotating earth is either CGI or images that have been shot are through a fish-eyed lens? In fact it isn't the case. There is plenty of evidence that is not photographic at all, including the fact that when it is daylight here in the UK, it is night in Australia, the large number of people who have travelled round the world, the fact that the sun gradually appears and disappears over the horizon at sunrise and sunset, and much more. But even if you stick to photographic images, you cannot just say, "They are either CGI or have been shot are through a fish-eyed lens," with absolutely no evidence for such statements.

Quoting your own words is a ridiculous notion? I couldn't agree more.

How can there be no curvature to the earth when you say that the earth is a circle? Simple question.
If you are hiding behind the old, "well I'm not explaining this again" response, it means you have no answer. You are contradicting yourself - again.

We have eyes to see too.

Google 'curvature of the earth'. There is no curvature on your imaginary circle of a rotating globe.

But people who see the images that you claim to be CGI or filmed using fish-eye lenses also have eyes to see. The fact that your are not blind is no evidence to show that the images have been faked as you claim. Evidence for your accusation was what I asked for.

I can give evidence as much as what you can which is nowt.
I have already stated some evidence: the fact that when it is daylight here in the UK, it is night in Australia, the large number of people who have travelled round the world, the fact that the sun gradually appears and disappears over the horizon at sunrise and sunset, and much more. As far as the images are concerned, I am no expert in sorting out fake images from real ones, but neither, I suspect, are you. You seem to be saying that they must be fake because you believe in a flat earth, and the images don't show it. That's circular reasoning again.

How can you have a circle that isn't curved?
You do know what a circle is?

O O O O - how many of those are straight lines?

OK show me proof that earth orbits the sun or that the moon doesn't give off her own light & show me proof that earth moves.
If you can give me proof of these three things I may just start to believe.

And when I say proof I mean real proof not something out of a text book or is hearsay.

Google 'curvature of the earth'.
OK.
This Earth curvature calculator allows you to determine how much of a distant object is obscured by the Earth's curvature.
Sep 23, 2022 · Earth's curvature The Earth curves about 8 inches per mile.
Another kind of question we’ve had about the curvature of the earth is, how much does it curve over a given distance?
Learn how to calculate the distance and height of objects visible from a given point using the Earth's curvature.
Jul 12, 2022 · The existence of Earth's curvature is the reason we have a horizon

How many more do you want?

No you haven't. None of your explanations work.

See what I mean?
YOU told me to Google "earth's curvature." I did so and you dismissed all the scientific articles as "hearsay".

You don't realise how ridiculous you're being.

Evidence that the moon doesn't give off its own light - real evidence that I have seen - is an eclipse of the moon. If the moon gave off its own light, then the earth coming between the sun and the moon would not affect the light coming from the moon, but at a lunar eclipse, we see a circular shadow creep across the face of the moon, until the moon is totally hidden. The seasons are evidence that the earth orbits the sun. At a certain stage of the orbit, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, and it is summer. At the same time, the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. That is why at Christmas time, t is winter in the UK, but summer in Australia. This orbiting also shows that the earth moves. Sunsets and sunrises show that it revolves.
