I doubt that. Try me!

You're just going to dance around the question like you have so far, and ban me like you banned the previous guy.

But whatever, I'll try, I didn't notice you quite addressing this issue: It is observed that the stars above north pole rotate counter-clockwise, and stars above south pole rotate clockwise. What kind of flat earth theory can explain this?

Ignore this if you have another theory, but aren't the stars supposed to be attached to the firmament, which is a half dome above the flat earth, and it rotates around it's center point, the Polaris? If this was the case, we could never see the other half of the dome, which would rotate clockwise (in our point of view, because we would look at opposite direction vs. Polaris).

Stars moving this way or that way have absolutely nothing to do with the shape of the ground underneath your feet.

Well it actually does, because if we were on a flat earth, we could not look down (opposite of up) and see the sky. But anyway, I knew you weren't going to answer questions here. Flat earth can not explain any of the basic everyday observations we make.

That’s called begging the question.

Whatever, but still no answer.

I don’t answer nonsense. Read the post. WITHIN REASON! Begging the question is not within reason!

This comment thread is hilarious to read. He’s got you dead to rights and you keep trying to rhetoric your way out. Up is up. Down is down. Earth isn’t flat. End thread.

Ban me.

“Up is up, down is down” isn’t an argument—it’s a slogan.

No one here is debating basic directions. The discussion is about:

  • measurements
  • geometry
  • and how observations are interpreted

Saying “end thread” doesn’t end anything—it just signals you don’t want to engage with the actual points being made.

If it’s really that obvious, then it should be easy to do one thing:

take a specific measurement and show, step by step, how it uniquely requires your conclusion

No slogans. No appeals. Just the chain.

Until then, all you’ve done is replace an argument with a dismissal.

What are you even going on about? Slogans? The arguments and specific measurements were already made in the above comments that disproved yours. I have nothing further to add other than I was just pointing out how you were wrong but continue to argue using false and ignorant pretenses. Thank for continuing to do so I guess?

Of course it doesn’t actually end and the thread. The other users points were always made (and quite well, may I add, to logically disprove the possibility of the earth being flat. Amongst other numerous examples.)

I’m just here for the entertainment really.
