Try these little experiments yourself to see if the world is spherical or like you say, flat.
1: Launch a rocket at high latitude and take pictures of the earth.

2: Observing with binoculars, ships slowly "sinking" below the horizon as it sails farther and farther out to the ocean, then watch them come back. They certainly didn't fall off the edge of the earth! You can also sail or fly around the world.

The earth isn't
completely flat at the moment, it's puffed up due to all the water from the flood going into the earth:
The earth does have corners however (Isaiah 11:12 & Revelation 7:1) so it probably looks more like a cube than a sphere.
And nobody here denied that you cannot fall off the earth I'm sure.

Also keep in mind the 24hour time zones. When it is noon in Hawaii, it is approx. midnight in the middle east and vice versa. How can it be noon and midnight simultaneously? It is certainly immpossible with a flat earth and a sun millions of times more massive!

Time zones are human inventions.
However, it can indeed be night and day at the same time, and that's because the earth is big, and the sun moves:
It cannot shine everywhere, you see.. That should be pretty straight-forward.
And how would you, personally, know for a fact that the sun is bigger than the earth?
Visited "space" have you?
