yes, they do, visibly, to the naked eye. you're being fooled.
read the post.
each individual long, thin image tricks the eye into assuming it is flat.
this is what the top image looks like when you compress the width of it to match the height:
if the horizon line was flat, compressing the width would not change that.
does it still look flat? nope.
now here's a horizontal line added to compare to:
the bottom picture, same process:
in fact, look at the third picture -- even though it's the product of multiple images stitched together -- the horizon line is not flat at all!!
the landscape there is not flat; it only appears that way because the change is gradual.
see how much differently things look, from perspective?
that picture you're so fond of posting is nothing more than an optical illusion.
it looks flat because the curve is gradual, the pictures are low-quality, and the proportions of the images are long and narrow.

Ball-believers often claim "gravity" magically and inexplicably drags the entire lower-atmosphere of the Earth in perfect synchronization up to some undetermined height where this progressively faster spinning atmosphere gives way to the non-spinning, non-gravitized, non-atmosphere of infinite vacuum space. Such non-sensical theories are debunked, however, by rain, fireworks, birds, bugs, clouds, smoke, planes and projectiles all of which would behave very differently if both the ball-Earth and its atmosphere were constantly spinning Eastwards at 1000mph.
If Earth and its atmosphere were constantly spinning eastwards over 1000mph then North/South facing cannons should establish a control while East-firing cannonballs should fall significantly farther than all others while West-firing cannonballs should fall significantly closer. In actual fact, however, regardless of which direction cannons are fired, the distance covered is always the same.
So here is my question. And I say this in a humble but matter of fact way.
If what you are putting out here is true, why should I even care?
I don't believe it for a second, for a lot of reasons, but even if I did, why does it matter to me?
If the earth is flat, it hasn't seemed to change a thing for me.
The seasons are all still the same, gravity works the same as before we all believed it was round, the sun is as bright in the summer, so to be blunt, I don't even care.
It doesn't change my life one iota either way, obviously.
So whats your point? For me?

how so?
did you try that little experiment i described to you yet, in the car?
look, it is simple -- everyone can do it easily. everyone, please try this.
the earth spinning in space is not like sticking your hand out of a car window while you're going 65MPH -- in that scenario, there is air outside the car not travelling at 65MPH with you -- and it pushes your hand backwards. surrounding the earth is the vacuum of space, and nothing pushes against the atmosphere to knock it off the face of the earth. the forces acting on the atmosphere are gravity and the pressure of the rest of the atmosphere around it. both of these hold it in place and produce normal winds.
the earth's atmosphere is more like the space inside your car while you have the cruise control set to 65MPH. no outside forces pressing on the air inside your car - the windshield prevents that.
so with cruise control set to 65, drop a ball inside the car. does it immediately slam into the back of the car at 65MPH because the car is moving at that speed?
nope.
the air inside the car, and the ball you dropped, are all going forward at 65MPH. the ball simply drops.
your little example of the helicopter hovering & waiting for the earth to catch up to it would be accurate if the atmosphere and the helicopter weren't also spinning. if you could go down the highway with cruise control on, and pass a ball to someone in the back seat simply by holding it in the open palm of your hand, and just waiting for the back seat to catch up to it a half second later. but reality doesn't work that way, does it?
spherical, go hop in your car and do that. videotape it and post it to youtube. if reality works the way you say it does, the ball should fly into the backseat at 65MPH as soon as you let go of it. nothing should ever stay on anyone's dashboard with the cruise control on -- everything should fly out of the front of the car toward the back while you go constant speed.
but obviously - we've all traveled in cars - this isn't how reality works.
so please explain to us WHY this is not how it works when you are inside a car?
then if God grants you understanding, you will also be enlightened about why a spinning earth does not work according to the way you criticize it.
"God has shown his love for us by creating the flat earth in the center of the Universe as a testament to his work of redemption through Jesus for the whole human race."
God can do whatever He wants, and if He chooses to break His own natural laws, no one is going to tell Him no. He is not bound to them as we are. But it is inconsistent with the laws of how God has designed time and space, and matter and gravity and all the other forces in the universe though.
So assuming your right, why would God choose to show His love for us in a way that would show He is so inconsistent to the very science He created?

If Earth and its atmosphere were constantly spinning eastwards over 1000mph, then the average commercial airliner traveling 500mph should never be able to reach its Eastward destinations before they come speeding up from behind! Likewise Westward destinations should be arrived at thrice the speed, but this is not the case.
