The Flat Earth people say that this eclipse just helps to "prove" that the earth is flat. I can see their numbers swelling in this age of science deniers.

I can't believe that with all the photos and scientific proof there are people who still believe the earth is flat, okay I challenge one of these believers to go and find the edge and take lots of photos

Flat Earthers are stupid. The theory of a flat Earth is easily disproven. If the Earth were flat, everyone in every place on Earth would look up at night, and see the same stars / constellations, overhead...from a slightly different angle, but the same constellations. Everyone, everywhere-Canada, USA, Australia, South Africa, etc-would see The Big Dipper, and The Small Dipper, for example. In fact, people in The USA see different constellations than do the people in Australia...because the Earth is a globe with northern, and southern, hemispheres. People in The USA see The Big Dipper. People in Australia NEVER see The Big Dipper, but do see The Southern Cross....which people in the USA never see. There is NO way this fact can be disputed, or explained, by The Flat Earthers.

There are so many holes in there ideas ok explain seasons if the earth is flat!!!!
Or again explain the poles why is it colder there?
We know the rational explaination (SCIENCE) witch proves the most logical explaination the earth is spherical in shape.

Ok here's another
Explain this flat liners
You will need a flat surface a couple miles long (shouldn't be hard to find according to your theory) ok the salt flats, now draw a line perfectly straight and keep going for a couple miles, ok now stand back and explain why the line looks (is) curved
Lol hahaha! That's the curvature of the earth silly!! Lol
