Arguing Against Nonsense

I'm surprised that there are so many YouTube channels defending the moon landing and the fact that the earth is a sphere. It seems to me that paying attention to the deniers just gives them more publicity. On the other hand, those offering genuine evidence are accumulating views and making some money.

That's all they got? Good grief. Probably think the sun revolves around the flat earth (but how could it go a round?).

"Experiments you can do at home"
Read these three experiments, and they make no sense at all. A five-year-old would offer these kinds of explanations. People in Australia would fall off the earth? I guess he doesn't believe in gravity, either. 🤣

As I've said before, "Critics Thinking," that is, the research and compilation of verified facts into a proven truth takes time and work. Blindly accepting something someone tells you as being true (like these "experiments"), does not. There are a lot of lazy, gullible people out there.

According to ancient Egyptians, their God of the sun, RA used a white boat to sail across the sky every day from east to west and had a black boat that carried him back at night.

You didn't know that the trajectory of the sun is rectangular?

70% of the earth is water and virtually none of it is carbonated. So the earth is, in fact, flat.

If the earth were really flat, cats would have pushed us all off the edge by now

That wouldn't work. There would be a large buildup of white boats in the west and an equally large buildup of black boats in the east.
He must have had a crew at both ends to paint the boats he wasn't using that day (night). He would have to have enough boats to allow the paint to dry between uses and there would also have to be white or black paint factories at each end.
And of course a white boatyard and a black boatyard to do the required maintenance on the boats (including the repainting).
The truth is always more complex than it first appears.

I read the flat earth explanations years ago, there was a lot about their statements that made perfect sense to me and I have to say it all made perfect sense. Vary thorough and insightful as well.
The problem with it for me was tat 18 I lived in Southern Germany and I did visit the Munster (Monster in English) Cathedral in the city of Ulm. Being young I spent several hours climbing the straits up, past the clouds (Germany has a lot of clouds) until I reached the second to the last landing (too dangerous to go to the vary top due to high wind activity). There as I looked out towards the North, on that particular day I could see for miles and the clouds had cleared far off to the North was the Earth's edge and indeed the earth is curved. Using basic logic, I understood the earth was curve.
Was it a sphere? I'm not absolutely sure, but it does not appear flat.
That's the thing about the Scientific System, you can NEVER prove anything, all you can do is say what it is not, and it does not appear to be flat.

The spherical earth was known to the early Greeks. They even measured the size of the earth.

Makes sense.
