No, I'm looking for truth.
If you were you would stop discounting eye witness testimony from an ever increasing number of people who have seen the curvature of the earth when they flew at over 51,000 feet. Here's another photo taken from Concorde at 58,000 feet. The person taking this photo again verifies the earth is curved as an eye witness. And no 'fish eye' here either.

"I took the above photo from a British Airways Concorde at about 58,000 feet on a “trip to nowhere.”

It was taken with my brother’s old Pentax SLR and a standard 30mm (ish!) lens. Pressing my nose against the aircraft’s window and gazing from side to side, the curve was even more pronounced than the photo suggests, but these days I have to settle for those pictures to assure myself that BoB is mistaken."

No, I'm looking for truth.
If you REALLY are, you need to drop your statement that nothing will make you believe in a globe earth; that you believe in a flat earth, always have, always will."

Then you need to read some books/interviews by the astronauts.
Is there anything in them that makes you think they are lying? Remember, you want the truth and you are no longer bound by your statement that nothing will make you believe in a flat earth

Then you need to ask yourself, "why is it that I believe that professional, educated, maybe even Christian men and women who work for NASA would lie and try to deceive the rest of us?"
And, while you're at it, ask yourself "why am I so quick to believe a picture that someone has drawn and put on YouTube, and yet mock a photograph taken by someone who was actually there?" And, "why am I giving so much credence to Dean Odel; a man whom, I have already admitted, is wrong in his teaching of a verse from Job?"

If you can do those things, people may believe that you really are interested in the truth - and I'm sure will be more than happy to help you.

What are you on about, it's near on flat with no curve.

Again you don’t read the eye witness testimony which I quoted because I knew you wouldn’t read the article.

And if you can’t see the curve, I suggest you take a flat edge and place it on the photo so that you can see the curve. I did.

When you look out of plane window, you do know that they distort.

Neither are you.
You claimed the earth is flat in the photo (which it isn’t) and then you claimed the wing is distorted (which it isn’t).

There is no distortion of the wing, otherwise the image wouldn’t be so sharp all along the wing.

And the earth is curved which can be proven by drawing a straight line across the photo.

You’re wrong on both counts.

But it is, it dips down.
It dips down??
a) the way the wing is is the way it was built.
b) pilots dip plane wings when about to land, or at other points in the flight.
Those wings are not blurred, or distorted, but perfectly clear.

There is no curve of the earth as it's so obvious the plane window has distorted both the earth and the wing, take a straight line over the side of the wing which is nearest to you & also take a look at the up turned end bit at the end of the wing.

If the earth is flat due to distortion of the window then it must be curved in reality.

If the wing was distorted due to the window, the image of it wouldn’t be sharp without any distortion.

The fact is the earth is curved and the wing is straight. The upturned end is the wing design.

You’re still making inconsistent statements which contradict each other.

Ok, full disclosure here @Apple Sky , on the last photo & article that I posted which is claimed to be a photo from Concorde turns out not to be so.

I'm apologising for posting it as it isn't honest as to the source of the photo. Please forgive me for not checking it properly beforehand.

I've flown many times, and there is little to no distortion from the plane's windows.

There is, I have flown also, this is probably why you think the earth is curved :sweatsmile:
