You're only allowed where the guide takes you.

To prove what I'm claiming, one would have to go onto the continent and travel "inland" for hundreds of miles.

Since no one has ever done that (because its physically impossible) we don't really know.

Surely ONE of these people would have gotten a picture of the edge of the world. So where is it? The burden of proof is yours.

Do you honestly and seriously believe the Earth is flat?

If you believe that then fly to Michigan, then tell me why you cant see Chicago, er the Sears Tower....

If the Earth was (*)(*)(*)(*)ing flat if you stood on the shores of Lake Michigan in Michigan you would be able to see the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing Sears Tower if the Earth was flat...

Indeed on a clear night one can possibly see the LIGHTS or the GLOW of Chicago, but that is all you will see in the best of conditions at sea level... Yeah go up 200-300 feet and you will be able to see Chicago, but that is because you are 300 feet up...

Geez...

So, his contention that the earth is flat, and that there is a great conspiracy being perpetrated upon humanity, for some nefarious reason, requires that such an extraordinary claim requires a very simple proof. And that proof, which would be irrefutable is for him to show us the photo, or better, a video of the edge of his flat earth. Of course he cannot produce one, because the earth is not flat, and does not have an edge. So he cannot prove his contention, by the simplest proof that would exist. Of course he would have to dream up some police force that would not allow anyone to travel to the edge of the earth, and that police force would have been necessary a long time ago when sailing ships circumnavigated the globe.

By your standards, you need to produce one single image of the earth from space then.

Looks like we're going to be at a stalemate forever, at this rate.

I never claimed there's an edge.

That's just a cheap tactic you guys keep trying to use.

It gets you nowhere, and it only exposes your lack of ability to debunk me.

Really? since you believe this crazy stuff, how does gravity work on this alleged flat Earth? how thick is this flat Earth?..

I'm just interested in how deep your goofy ass idea goes.

So is it your claim now that the Earth is both flat AND infinite in dimension?

You have much to learn boy, but I'm guessing you're a slave of the echo chamber known as the internet and the ignorance perpetuated in it.
