.

The issue here is that people have been successfully using the globe earth model to navigate to the most remote corners of the world for five centuries now. This is not some sort of recent discovery.

In your analogy, it's a reasonable question to ask, Does the combustible engine you designed work when you turn it on? If it does not, then you have not designed an engine. That's where we are here. And the OP asked in the initial post whether there was an engine for the flat earth model, and apparently there isn't one, since no one produced it. So we're not even at the state you described.
Don't change my analogy.

Again, cf. the work of Herve Riboni about how people "navigate" the "globe" successfully with current maps.  In the Southern "Hemisphere" in particular they're required to make course changes based on some alleged "magnetic declination", and he demonstrates how these declinations almost perfectly represent the deviation of the globe model from the FE.  So, this man participated in sailing races around the world and is rather expert in the matter.  He also goes out into the field to demonstrate deviations in the real world from what the current maps allege.  He also points out how timezones are compressed or even eliminated in some Northern latitudes compared to their Southern equivalent when they should be identical, e.g. where 30 degrees North latitude should be identical to 30 degrees South on a ball ... but they're not.

If you search magnetic declination, the AI response ... verbatim ... echoing the genius above who claims that you can navigate successfully using modern maps.

"To navigate accurately with a compass and map, you must know the magnetic declination for your location.'

How about that.  But but muh globe map lets me navigate accurately.

You need to bring magnetic declination charts with you to adjust against your compass settings.  Riboni shows how if you eliminate these supposed declinations in the South you basically end up with a FE map, and he's working on putting one together.

You don’t *need* to bring charts to determine magnetic declination. You can use Polaris (for determining true north) in the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Cross (or for more accuracy, the star, Sigma Octantis) in the Southern Hemisphere. Also, you can use a telescope and a drift alignment technique for even more accuracy.

So, this is based on that Pangea theory.  What do you supposed caused the breakup?  I mean, most likely the Flood, but how did that work, and by what mechanisms?  I've read things calling that theory into question, where the fact that South America fitting into Africa is not accurate, but due to something else that happened, but can't recall the details.

1- In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the flood gates of heaven were opened  [Genesis 7:11]

IF the Earth was created with one landmass like above and the fountains of the great deep were broken up, meaning lands being separated, this could explain how we find different animals in one land and not on others.
