In the 60's my brother was a chef on a cruise liner and went on a "Round the world" cruise. IF, the world were flat, there is NO WAY he could have done that, as he would have either had to sail from the U.K. which is where the cruise left from to Australia THEN turned around and sailed west to the west coast. - he didn't - he sailed aROUND the world.

Intercontinental flights show up flat Earth as a fraud hilariously quickly, but most flat earthers have never left America

It’s detecting the earth extremely well and stars not at all
If the exposure was long enough for stars to appear, the earth would appear as a bright blob with no distinguishable details. No one would care for such an image.

Is it not video


I suppose not…
Of course it is a video it was taken from the Deep Space Climate Observatory.
The individual exposure frames of the video are so short no background stars are observable.

The Jupiter shot I took conveniently labelled as a fake by your run of the mill science hater does not show the 4 extremely bright Galilean satellites for the same reasons but shows up well in this conventional but overexposed one shot image.

Isn't it ironic that flat Earth, young Earth science deniers utilize devices, such as computers, created by the very science they disavow, to promote their absurdity.

Not at all.

Especially if they think science is God's way of revealing His creation to mankind.

Nor does "church is not necessary" speak to me.

THAT all depends on your definition of the 'church' - IF your definition is the 'meeting house' aka the building, then YES - THAT 'church' "SPEAKS" to no-one. BUT. . . . . . . IF the "church" is the PEOPLE meeting, then THEY, (the CHURCH) - CAN speak to you.

Ultimately it’s irrelevant if the earth is flat


But it’s a sphere and that’s god’s doing


So I suppose it’s amazing…!

Of course it's not irrelevant. Self gravitating objects are round. It's a basic consequence of the physics of gravitation. In the Newtonian limit, in general relativity. If the Earth (and the Moon and the Sun and the planets) was not round (roughly spherical) then our model of one of the four fundamental forces would be wrong.
