It wasn't really necessary before the last century to focus on the shape of the earth. But....since there's now an atheistic agenda in regards to promoting a globe earth, because it is not obvious that a globe earth was created by God for us humans. In the globe earth model, earth is just another planet among many, even though it is obvious that it is special in that it can support life.

It is far more obvious, with the FE model, that God created the Earth for humans, and that He did so with great care and love for us.

It's a simple fact that there are dozens upon dozens of experiments out there ....

Why don't you provide a clear reference to just ONE of these "dozens and dozens" of "experiments" so we could review it?

Going at the speed the travel, they would constantly have to correct for the curvature ever few minutes to avoid inadvertently increasing altitude as the surface falls beneath them.

It is your assertion that "they would constantly have to correct for the curvature..."  No, that's not how flight works.

There are so many videos demonstarting that we can "see too far" ... but one could argue they were faked ... except there are photographs taken by disinterested third parties who aren't Flat Earthers per se, such as this one.

The person who made that video is part of "Globebusters", and the photo he's talking about seems to have been made by a flat earther, so not exactly "disinterested".

You reject NASA images as faked and photoshops, including images from the 60s and 70s, well before photoshop and digital image editing. Yet you claim a picture of an out-of-focus blob is evidence?

That strikes me a little ... inconsistent.

I was skeptical at first myself, but the more I dug and the more I dug, the more that the start realization hit me about how much we've been lied to, about everything.

Well, I also think you've been lied to.

In the globe earth model, earth is just another planet among many, even though it is obvious that it is special in that it can support life.
It is far more obvious, with the FE model, that God created the Earth for humans, and that He did so with great care and love for us.

We choose a model because of evidence, right? Because it corresponds to reality?
Not because we may think it would be convenient for apologetics.

Oh, are you an aeronautical engineer?  If so, then you could certainly explain the centuries-old, technology-challenged engineering of railroads.  Can you please explain to us why railroads aren't build using the curvature of the earth, as was quoted by that engineer?  This should be easy to explain from someone of your caliber.

The "curvature of the earth" is not a grade up or down. It's the same "level" if it's at the same distance from the (gravitational) center of the earth.

Grades up and down are due to change of terrain, such as hills and valleys.
