Tell me when you have seen the earth orbit the sun.

I see everyday (when it is not cloudy) the sun (and moon and stars) moving over the earth just as stated in the Bible.
So you think the world revolved around you. Typical.

Not paying attention is what is needed to hold onto the belief in the ball earth lie? Sure, for some.
You could literally charter a boat and go to the edge of the earth... no one ever has.

Let that sink in.

No, you literally could not. I don't know how you all are comfortable arguing against flat earth when you don't understand its basic concepts.

If you're in Aussie or Asia, you can literally see the shadow of the earth today.

Reminds me of that quote from Wittgenstein:

“Tell me," Wittgenstein asked a friend, "why do people always say, it was natural for man to assume that the sun went round the earth rather than that the earth was rotating?"

His friend replied, "Well, obviously because it just looks as though the Sun is going round the Earth."

Wittgenstein replied, "Well, what would it have looked like if it had looked as though the Earth was rotating?”

I do not think the earth moves, so no it does not revolve around me.
Everything is very much moving in relation to everything else.

But not moving too fast...
