I'm really surprised this thread has 5 pages. I really think we can get to 10. Keep it going gents.
Working on it.

You need to study some Einstein. Part of the Theory of Relativity is stating that observations are "Relative" to one's position in relation to said observations. Your observations are from your view point.
Are you really content having a 1000BC mind set?
So you believe the earth is flat? How thick is it?
Obviously we as a species have proven it is at least 10 miles thick. (Drilling and such).
I find it ironic that you believe the earth is flat, but we are forbidden from getting to the edge. What forbids us from doing that?
If the "flat earth" is at least 10 miles "deep" then it is actually a "cube" like structure.
Do you believe in the KISS principle? You know what is a much much simpler structure than a fucking cube??? That is right a sphere. It is why 95% of nature is sphere in shape.
Your statement of " things fall straight down" is bull fucking shit.
Things fall toward the center of the earth (again study some physics and gravity). Meaning that if someone standing on the north pole drop a quarter and someone one the equator does the same, the trajectory of both quarters will meet in the center of the earth.
If the earth is flat or a disk how come not one single picture from 10 foot elevation to 250,000 mile + eleavation shows all the land mass on the earth at the same time??
If the earth is flat how come an eclipse does not encompass the entire planet??
