As the mariners’ compass points north and south at one time, and as the North, to which it is attracted, is that part of the Earth situate where the North Star is in the zenith, it follows that there is no south “point” or “pole” but that, while the centre is North, a vast circumference must be South in its whole extent. This is a proof that the Earth is not a globe.
(Psalms 103:5) (Is The Earth is Not a Globe or is The Earth a Globe?)

As we have seen that there is, really, no south point (or pole) but an infinity of points forming, together, a vast circumference—the boundary of the known world, with its battlements of icebergs which bid defiance to man’s onward course in a southerly direction—so there can be no east or west “points,” just as there is no “yesterday,” and no “to-morrow.” In fact, as there is one point that is fixed (the North), it is impossible for any other point to be fixed likewise. East and west are, therefore, merely directions at right angles with a north and south line: and as the south point of the compass shifts round to all parts of the circular boundary, (as it may be carried round the central North), so the directions east and west, crossing this line, continued, form a circle, at any latitude. A westerly circumnavigation, therefore, is a going round with the North Star continually on the right hand, and an easterly circumnavigation is performed only when the reverse condition of things is maintained, the North Star being on the left hand as the journey is made. These facts, taken together, form a beautiful proof that the Earth is not a globe.
Ball-earthers ignore basic science in favour of complicated theories which can't readily be tested, and yet which must also invoke implausible excuses for the inconsistencies these theories create.
The simplest way to debunk Flat Earth would be to prove the curve. However, it is the absence of this very simple proof which is resulting in more and more people realising that ball-Earth theory is the lie.
Put simply, one can see further than where the horizon should be, were the Earth a ball.

Put simply, that claim is 100% false, and it's your memes and YouTube videos that are ignoring basic science, for example atmospheric refraction.
every pro flat earth post you make lowers your credibility. do you not yet understand this inane, masonic lie is having exactly the opposite effect of what it promised?

“Parallels of latitude” only—of all imaginary lines on the surface of the Earth—are circles, which increase, progressively, from the northern centre to the southern circumference. The mariner’s course in the direction of any one of these concentric circles is his longitude, the degrees of which INCREASE to such an extent beyond the equator (going southwards) that hundreds of vessels have been wrecked because of the false idea created by the untruthfulness of the charts and the globular theory together, causing the sailor to be continually getting out of his reckoning. With a map of the Earth in its true form all difficulty is done away with, and ships may be conducted anywhere with perfect safety. This, then, is a very important practical proof that the Earth is not a globe.
The idea that, instead of sailing horizontally round the Earth, ships are taken down one side of a globe, then underneath, and are brought up on the other side to get home again, is, except as a mere dream, impossible and absurd! And, since there are neither impossibilities nor absurdities in the simple matter of circumnavigation, it stands, without argument, a proof that the Earth is not a globe.
If the Earth were a globe, the distance round its surface at, say, 45 “degrees” south latitude, could not possibly be any greater than it is at the same latitude north; but, since it is found by navigators to be twice the distance—to say the least of it—or, double the distance it ought to be according to the globular theory, it is a proof that the Earth is not a globe.
If I am not wrong, a ship cant sailing horizontal round the earth, because of some land between. But for an plane this is possible and you never read in 80 days round the world? 😉
But I fear it is useless to argue. You will stay in your believe system and the Globe believers in theres.
I suppose you deny the moon landings, too
Otherwise you could see that the world is a globe.

There is no reason to overfly Antarctica. I note that you do not mention the North Pole. There are many flights over the North Pole.
If you bothered to find out, there are good reasons why airlines avoid Antarctica. If there is an emergency, there is nowhere to land safely. That's a vital consideration in flight path planning. It's not illegal, just impracticable.
There are scenic flights over Antarctica. You should book one. You might learn something. Cost is $AUD $4,000.00.

We're living in a new paradigm, now. Those who were wrong about the covid vaccine hoax don't get to lecture those who were right about credibility. At least, not without stirring up much amusement due to the irony. Next time there's a world-wide hoax that 90% of people are falling for, and you're on the right side of the game, we'll be back on par (if - and this is a big if - I'm wrong about that one!) Until then, I will enjoy the irony!
