And if you want to convince me the earth is a ball, show me the motion and curve. Motion and curvature tests favor flat earth. I've seen over a hundred of them and so far no motion or curve. If you can go out and measure a curve, you'll be famous, because you'll be the first.
I asked you a question. Can you answer it or not?
>> And what the heck does the origins and details of our universe and life itself have to do with evolution or how it is spectacularly successful in explaining the diversity of life now and in the past and how all life is related? Do you even understand what evolution is, and is not? <<

Sorry, I thought the answer was absurdly obvious, since I already talked about it. Here it is again, "People wonder how 'science' could be wrong about the origins and details of our universe, all they have to do is look and see how 'science' got it all wrong about the origins and details of life itself. It's a wonderful case study in the progression of mass delusion."
Here is a website my friend showed me to debunk the whole flat earth thing.

You are free to try to excuse it any way you wish, of course.
You're assumption is inaccurate. I also think a common assumption is that the ball-earthers who departed that paradigm didn't come up with every excuse themselves that's ever been presented in this thread and others before changing their mind. There's not one thing that anyone has said on any flat-earth thread against the flat-earth that hasn't been researched by someone.
So, when I hear the standard, 'the {enter excuse here} doesn't work on a flat-earth' excuse, I know there's no study that has gone into that aspect of their objection.
Does anybody here really think people just wake up one day and think, 'today I'll be a flat-earther'? No. It's a long and often painful deprogramming process.
If that's not evidence, then what is?
Easy, watch a Lunar eclipse.And if you want to convince me the earth is a ball, show me the motion and curve. Motion and curvature tests favor flat earth.

Aristotle bolstered his belief in a round Earth with the observation that during lunar eclipses, the Earth's shadow on the face of the sun is curved. Since this curved shape exists during all lunar eclipses, despite the fact that Earth is rotating, Aristotle correctly intuited from this curved shadow that the Earth is curvy all around — in other words, a sphere.
If that's not evidence, then what is?
Nothing. It's a dishonest game they play because literally anything presented as evidence will be dismissed, excused, hand waved or ignored.
Satellite photos?
Satellites are fake and the photo is CGI
Video from ISS?
ISS is fake and NASA is part of the conspiracy
Live video cams from Antarctica?
Fake NASA Potemkin villages in Greenland or Alaska
etc. etc.

I’m fairly convinced that flat-earthery can be cured by looking in-depth at any of the problem issues. By in-depth I mean a thorough understanding of how a thing works, not just what some guy posts on a blog site about it. If you look into how GPS works for example, find out everything there is to know about it, then try to explain it all away, that would be one way of seeing why the flat earth notion doesn’t work. But you’d have to be willing to go beyond a few superficial notions.
If it's a globe we shouldn't be able to see Chicago across 54 miles of Lake Michigan.
Nothing more amusing than the smug self confidence of those who believe lies.
An actual empirical measurement. Pictures aren't proof in themselves, unless you also think this pic is proof good ol' George was a Trump supporter. It is a picture after all, therefore it must be evidence of that fact, right?
