On the first day of spring and fall the flat earth crowd believes the sun travels over the equator. The heading of the sunrise at Portland, Maine is due East. The simultaneous heading of the sunrise in Santiago, Chile which is South of the equator (but also at 70 West longitude) is also due East. These facts are indisputable. So either we have two suns or the sun is millions of miles away. If the sun is far away then a flat earth would have sunshine 24 hours a day.

Just like any group there are people in the FE community that are intentionally misguiding. No one in FE really knows what the model is. Globies just pick the wacky models to argue how stupid FE is. Look up Nathan Oakley. He now has become repetitive after the 100 episode. If you listen to his newest you will here them doing devils advocate stuff but they cover all these points. No one from globe earth debate there. Couple things he brings up.
Any proof of axial rotation. How do you find the R value of the planet Any real evidence of gravitational waves Evidence of curvature/bulge of the earth Can gas or even a vacuum exist without a container What is the distance to the sun
Simple math tells you that you have to use the formula of a triangle to measure distance it wouldnt work on a globe, and scientists for some reason measure using a triangle then transform it into a curve. Why would you do this if you could measure the curve. Even a sexton uses a flat angle. Their calculation of R value is from the center of the earth not on the surface of the globe earth.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BUSxkhWnpXk This lady even states that she assumes that the earth is curved to measure a mountain then says we are close enough to the earth that we can measure a mountain using a flat angel. 1ft ht is 1.1mile distance. Between that measurement you should still be able to measure a curve but scientists dont include this in their calculations. They just use the triangle formula. Dont remember learning that triangles have a curve in them.
No they dont. Globers use the FE model when explaining to FErs how stupid their FE model is. Why would they use the globe to the FErs to show how stupid their FE model is when FErs dont believe the earth is a globe. Also the FE model is not universally agreed upon. Some believe there are more land masses outside of that ice wall and others dont care about the model but in basic observable facts such as any evidence of the distance to the sun. Any sign of an axial rotation of the earth based variety. Any evidence of a molten core at the center of a presupposed earth. Scientific evidence of gravity. Gas pressure without a container. Any sign of earth curve or geometric horizon. Radius value.
