I wonder how they explain two ships at sea sailing apart suddenly can’t see each other at a fairly short distance no matter how powerful the optic they are using?

B$. There are plenty of videos on YouTube that show the ship having disappeared over the horizon only to be brought back into view with a P900 or P1000 camera. Their argument is with the mathematical calculations not agreeing with what they observe. I don't believe the earth is flat but they do have several points that need better explanations. Saying they are nuts just dismisses the legitimate questions they have.

RELEASE THE KRACKENS: When I first started seeing these FE youtubes showing up the last six months or so, I wasn’t even curious. Is it just those wacky Christians who believe this? I have read Genesis many times, and the detailed description of the Creation of the Earth was incomprehensible when compared to NASA’s Big Blue Marble hurling through the Void. How to reconcile God’s creation as a flat plane covered by an impenetrable dome with water above and water below and sun and moon within the dome and the stars imbedded in the firmament. Finally my curiosity got me, and I watched some FE youtubes. Many compelling points were made.

However, NASA could shut it all down if they had the proof everyone thinks they do. How about some actual photos of the spherical earth if we actually did go to the moon 240,000 miles away or Mars at 35 million miles. I would settle for the Hubble turning its camera around up there 350 miles away (ISS is a total joke)—Nothing, not one single photo of earth in NASA’s gallery that is not CGI/Artist creation.

AS to an objective observation of the earth’s shape... Ever heard of Auguste Piccard, Swiss physicist who went up 10 miles into the stratosphere in a balloon in 1931. His feat was written up in Popular Science. Here is a quote from what he and his partner observed through their non-fisheye glass windows:

“The story of their adventure surpasses fiction. During the ascent, the aluminum ball began to leak. They plugged it desperately with vaseline and cotton waste, stopping the leak. In the first half hour, the balloon shot upward nine miles. Through portholes, the observers saw the earth through copper-colored, then bluish, haze. It seemed a flat disk with upturned edge. At the ten mile level the sky appeared a deep, dark blue. With observations complete, the observers tried to descend, but couldn’t. While their oxygen tanks emptied, they floated aimlessly over Germany, Austria, and Italy. Cool evening air contracted the balloon’s gas and brought them down on a glacier near Ober-Gurgl, Austria, with one hour’s supply of oxygen to spare”

And I have watched a helicopter (with one of those cameras) disappear below the horizon of a lake. It looked like it landed and then went into the earth. Meanwhile, the people on the helicopter were in contact with the team in charge of the camera. The helicopter was still 30’ off the ground when it disappeared below the horizon. When math was applied, it was a perfect fit to a round earth that is a little less than 8,000 miles in diameter. It’s an experiment anyone with a few hundred bucks and a calculator (and an open mind) can do.

That same team shot a fixed laser at a boat and the laser gained altitude on the side of the boat as the boat gained distance from the shore-moving from 2’ above the water line at the shore to more than 12’ above the boat several miles away. This stuff is pretty simple actually.
