The 'lack of curvature' is the strongest and easiest to prove argument.  The size of the globe, per NASA, is utterly false.  It's been proven multiple times, by many different people, of various backgrounds.  Technology can "see too far" past the curve.  NASA has no answer for this.

You posted a pseudo FE map that shows a curved Earth, look at it. As for the “lack of curvature” argument, I agree it is the best and pretty much the only decent argument in your favor, but it’s miles away from a slam dunk. First, most of the videos that seem to show a lack of curvature are probably faked, exaggerated, or done by amateurs who aren’t careful with their technique. Second, many observations can be explained by refraction, reflection, and deffraction. Third, no one on this forum has ever attested to observing the lack of (or proof of) curvature by doing an experiment on their own, except me. I used two different telescopes and a set of binoculars and can attest to the fact that a bridge that should have been visible on the other side of a 20 mile long lake was obscured. I was called a liar for stating that, by a poster on this forum.

Your threshold for believing in FE (i.e. one has to do personal experiments) is stupid.

And this is why I’ve told you before that you don’t understand the scientific method (nor common sense). Unfortunately, trads are some of the most gullible people in the world.

I commend you for your constancy, and I couldn't agree more.

It is crazy to me how much this position overlays the Sedevacantist position in terms of motivations, consequences, fallout, etc.

FEer: "Com'on man just stop with the human respect already it blinds you to the truth."

This ^ is actually a common explanation/argument that Sedes use to explain why some prefer to stay where they are at rather than seek the truth.

The idea of FE is pointless to me.
A rabbit hole to no effect.
A potential cover to distract from more important questions.
And yes, "Is the man currently claiming to be Pope actually the Pope?" 
is an important question that one CAN come to a morally certain answer on (as I see you are quite aware).

In heaven, I don't see anyone "caring" about what Catholics think of the shape of the earth.
But I do see them "caring" about who is Pope or not and what Catholics think about the man who is claiming that office.


Thank you.

No, no, no.  You're missing the point.  "I" don't have to do scientific experiments to prove every, single thing I believe in.  That's what scientists are for.  There are plenty of people out there doing FE experiments.  I see the experiment; I see no rebuttal.  To me, the experiment is proven (or at least, it's a point in favor of the idea).

Just like "I" don't need to play piano to know if one song is better/more complex than another one.

Just like "I" don't need to be an engineer to know when a concrete slab has been poured incorrectly.  Nor do "I" need to be a carpenter to know when a piece of furniture was made poorly.

This whole idea that "only experts" can have critical thinking or make decisions on life, is stupid.  You've been brainwashed to believe "the experts" and ignore common sense.  Wake up.
