I think your are trying to demonstrate that anything and everything is open to dispute, since it is impossible to conclusively disprove any scientific hypothesis.
Thank you.

That makes your side look a lot clearer. But in your theory, why is earth the only one that is flat and everything revolves around it? Isnt that a little egotistical?
If earth was moving up at a rate, wouldnt the shuttle and the ISS and all of the other sattelites up there have fallen off already? Or, because i have just forgot newtons laws, wouldve seent he other side already?
Oh and whats on the other side then?

I dont think this has been asked yet:
Do you (Del and LM) believe in life on other planets?
Do you believe in a infinite universe?
Life on other planets is possible. It'd probably be much smaller than one might expect with a round earth model.
The universe is finite. Just big. There is a model that explains flat earth as an infinite plane, but I don't advocate that theory here. By and large (pun) it's the same as the model I'm presenting however.

If the earth really is flat, how is it possible to dig and dig and not get to the other side? Only reply if you have an intelligent answer, nothing off the wall totally!

Not to be unprofessional, but it's like religion - if something disproves it, deny the evidence or make up an explanation.

Hey, OP and Del, please look at this page, read through it, and prove to me once again how none of this makes sense.

The flat Earth theory takes all of the into account. Perhaps you haven't been reading through the thread. An example of how that article is grasping at straws is that to answer the question of "How can one prove that the Earth is round" the answer given is, "the Earth is round." That should jump out clearly to anyone who has any sense of logic. It also says that, "Since the force of gravity is roughly the same everywhere on the globe, it could be surmised that the Earth must be spherical."
Also, using clear propaganda techniques such as "... have proved absolutely conclusively that the Earth is round." is nothing more than saying, "Everybody knows." and is completely unethical.
Clearly there is no proof that the Earth is round, and that article is insulting to say the least.
We aren't forced to surmise proof, speak of it as an absolute, or result to pity antics.

Those comments coming from you, who claim we are close to concluding that the earth is flat, yet you claim within the same post you are nowhere near sure if the earth can be maintain itself in a flat model unless certain criteria (that you have no way of proving momentarily, as you have pointed out yourself) are met.
Also another point to mention. If you the earth is flat then why does the majority of the scientific community not believe it to be so? I'm pretty sure if they found proof by now it would have been leaked. And don't answer that question with your "Oh the government keeps it a secret because they don't want people to find the giant ice wall!"...please.
