Of course. But what can one do when confronted with wilful ignorance?

Doesn't gravity FORCE it to adjust to the curvature?
The same mathematics (Newtonian Mechanics) is used to calculate escape velocity as is used to build a bridge, or design an aircraft.
Wouldn't it be nice if some people had a five year old's knowledge of science?
I have some civil engineering regarding bridge building experience
You can't have much experience designing them, if you do not know how Newtonian mechanics is used both for bridge building and escape velocity calculations. The same physical laws apply to both you know.
Nice try...I know you have no idea what you are talking about. Appeal to authority some other topic please, cause I requested observable, testable, repeatable evidence. No escape velocity calculations are used to build bridges.
Appeal to authority? Ooh, I would say Newton's authority was pretty good.
It is fairly elementary to calculate what velocity would be needed for GMm / r^2 to not decelerate it to zero.
It is appeal to authority as it takes a lot of assumptions into account....do you not understand why I stated do not post nonsense like mathematics disconnected from reality. In this particular case, you're taking the mass of the earth which is nonsense.
have you considered any other verses that may contradict the verses you chose.
When fundamentalists more typically want to argue that the biblical writers knew that the Earth was a sphere, this is one of the old favourites:
Isaiah 40:22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
Look no further. I present to you observable, testable, repeatable evidence. No CGI or appeal to authorities here.
Go to the 4:20 minute mark, see for yourself the sun's hotspot directly below. There is no way to account for this other than the sun is REALLY in "low earth orbit" and the earth is flat. There are NO OTHER alternative explanations.
There are many low earth orbit space balloon launches, all of them show the same thing.....the sun is within low earth orbit and the earth is flat (make sure the are not using a fish eye lens)
