You cannot even explain something that can be seen every day. You cannot explain sunrise and sunset.I did not expect to get these kind of replies in a Christian forum of all places.

Science works on testable models. If you cannot make a testable model for your beliefs they are most likely wrong.
You need to have a description of what the video demonstrates. The rules of the forum require it. And you need to be ready to support the claims yourself. From the thumbnail it looks as if they are relying on a lens. Sorry, no magic lens in the sky.
Add optics to the range of topics that Flerfs do not understand.
Lets be honest, even if I did explain, your confirmation bias would immediately reject it because your mind is already made up about the shape of the earth. I try not to debate against people with a confirmation bias because it never ends, you're not open to even the slightest possibility that the Earth is not a sphere in space so why bother.You need to have a description of what the video demonstrates.

The truth is that we aren't entirely sure how the Earth works yet because not enough people do research on the subject and true flat earth theory is really hard to find.
Satellites don't exist though. If they did, why don't the satellite dishes on our houses ever have to be moved or adjusted to compensate for globe earth's movement or when the satellite is on the other side of the earth?I'll be happy to consider that the Earth is not a sphere the moment a Flat Earther can explain how equatorial telescope mounts work in a flat Earth cosmological universe.
Oh, and also explain the existence of satellites and the ISS. With something other than claiming they either don't exist or they are just weather balloons.
If the Earth really were flat then flat Earth cartography would be a multi-billion dollar business.
Yet it isn't...
Satellites don't exist though.
Trackable how? How do you know those are satellites?Satellites are directly trackable and visible from the Earth's surface. In fact, they are quite common to view when star-gazing.
If you want to criticise something, you should at least be able to understand how it is supposed to work.Satellites don't exist though.

Yes, if you want to criticise an established and well-working system, you should be able to explain how your alternative works... and why it should be preferred.You guys want me to explain LITERALLY EVERYTHING to change your minds while you're perfectly fine with believing gravity is determined by an object's mass. This is not observable or testable, you can't even get a feather to stick to a wrecking ball just based on it's mass, because gravity doesn't work that way.
Trackable how? How do you know those are satellites?
in all these cases, there is a really really big object interfering with these experiments... the earth.

The answer is "geostationary orbits". These satellites are never "on the other side of the earth". They are in a fixed position.
Oh, my, a MEME!!! Whatever shall I do?
Lets see your map of the world. No good mate, it's horribly distorted, nothing is the right size or in the right place. That's what happens when you try to wrap a flat map around a ball.A map, dude. FE can't even come up with a map that works.
True. Here I was referring to the satellites that the fixed dishes he mentioned are pointed at.Of course it's worth noting that not all satellites are in geosynchronous orbit, hence why it's possible to track and observe certain satellites traveling along their orbital path.
I've said all I needed to say on this topic and provided more than enough proof why the earth is not a sphere.
