On a sphere, 'flatness' means being the same distance from the center. A road that climbs up a hill gets further away from the center.How can flat straight road curve over the horizon without going up or down ? Absolute rubbish.

Well on a level earth flatness means just that - Flat.
Yet, on a flat earth, we wouldn't have examples of the photos above. We should be able to see right to end of the road or to the end of the line of powerlines. But we don't.
And it's been explained why we don't.
I've not seen anyone explain why we don't, especially not you.
Maybe this guy can help you.
Very unlikely.
But he does.
Because it’s really ODD for people to think the earth is flat in this day and age.Out of interest, why does it matter if the earth is round or flat?
Are we trying to ascertain biblical explanations versus man or are we just making a thread to pass the time?
No it hasn't. As I explained the only way you can see the entire 90 miles of road is if you are looking from a really high elevation, like filming with a drone. Otherwise your view of the road is stopped by the horizon which is the curve of the earth.And it's been explained why we don't.
Rob can't even get lenses right. He is no help to anyone.Maybe this guy can help you.
Not really. Your explanation does not work. Perspective does not work that way. To make it simple the curvature drop of the earth is about 8 inches per mile. So in a 90 mile road that would be about 60 feet so it would be impossible to see the end of the road. In fact you can only see less than 10 miles.And it's been explained why we don't.
Yeah, it's round .
However, "trust the science" has lost all credibility in the past 5 years.
The thing is; even @Apple Sky believes it is round.The earth is round, no if‘s, and’s or but’s. Period.
But I didn't.You could have stopped at the first sentence. Or just not posted at all.
Regardless, the fact that Earth is round is evidenced through so many different forms of observation from so many different things that it's nonsense to accept that the Earth is flat.
With frosting around the edges.The thing is; even @Apple Sky believes it is round.
But also flat and 2 dimensional, like a disc or CD, rather than spherical like a ball.
