    Now, we all know that when a ship goes out to sea, after a while it eventually appears to sink below the horizon until it seems to disappear. Now, the stick figure is you, and your vision is the angle A. The boat begins its journey at position 1, and as it continues towards position 2, it will gradually appear to sink, as it moves along the curvature of the earth. It will most noticeable at position 3, since part of it has past the horizon, the point where the earth curves out of view. At position 4 it will be completely out of view, since it has past the horizon.

    Make sense?

      That model totally doesn't work because you can't stand (or sail) on the edge of the earth, you would fall off!

            O rly? Why is it that cargo ships can travel across the atlantic and pacific ocean without falling off? Explain this, if the earth is flat, what about the sun? And mars, and the moon, and the rest of the planets? Why is it that when you look at the sky, the stars appear to rotate in the sky? And, if the earth were flat, we would be locked in an eternal sunshine, because the earth wouldn't be rotating. (And no, the the sun does not revolve around the earth, the earth does not have enough mass.) I will be back to continue this debate tomorrow, it's quite late. Take the time to muster up your arguments (And i mean real scientific evidence, because so far i have seen none).

              Do you have scripture to back this up?

              Clearly the Sun and stars revolve around the Earth like an intricate child's crib mobile.

              Your stick figure proves nothing. I am pretty sure this is a Christian Church Web Forum, not some lying atheist scientist forum. The burden of proof is yours.

              We have the Bible to back us up. The word of God sir. What do you have? A lunatic heretic who was discounted by even the Catalicks?

                There's no debate to continue, silly!

                The Bible says the earth is flat; ergo, the earth is flat.

                No debate, case closed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope this leads you to reading your 1611 King James Bible so you don't go to Hell!

                  Additionally, we have answered these preschool questions more than once in the near 700 pages leading up to your "oh I think I am clever" questions. If you want an answer, I suggest you go back page by page and read this entire thread from the beginning. Or I could be nice and tell you about the forum search tool. Or even better, read the BIBLE you heathen God-mocker!

                          Surely, it is simpler than even that. God decides when it is day, and God decides when it it night.

                            But hey, since that's not what it says in their science books, they'll just ignore it yet again.
