The St. George’s Channel between Holyhead and Kingstown Harbor near Dublin is 60 miles across. When half-way across a ferry passenger will notice behind them the light on Holyhead pier as well as in front of them the Poolbeg light in Dublin Bay. The Holyhead Pier light is 44 feet high, while the Poolbeg lighthouse 68 feet, therefore a vessel in the middle of the channel, 30 miles from either side standing on a deck 24 feet above the water, can clearly see both lights. On a ball Earth 25,000 miles in circumference, however, both lights should be hidden well below both horizons by over 300 feet!

Spherical, you never answered my question. Have you ever actually travelled the world? Or is everything you think you know from your computer screen? Hey maybe that's it! Your monitor is flat - that's why the world looks flat to you!
Back away from the you-tube and go see it for yourself. You may find it interesting.

Miri,
You make an excellent point. If everything is flat, what is holding it all together. Are the stars just dots of light on the inside of a big globe called the universe? Is the flat earth just floating on magma that has collected on the bottom of this globe?
If one asserts the earth is flat, one also needs to explain the rest of creation as well. For the assertion to be considered a possibility it must explain all the observed facts at least as well as the current theory.
This is why the flat earth assertion was disproven centuries before Christ.
The belief in a flat earth cannot be supported through logical rational means. It comes from the "feelings" of the person who then use their intelligence to justify the feeling.
Indeed, most of the points made in the video Spherical promotes are based on the "feelings" of the observer, such as, "The earth feels flat when I look at things, therefore, it must be flat."

OnceFallen,
Thank you for the 8 inches per mile fact. That in itself "should" be enough for any "rational" person to disprove the flat earth assertion.
BTW, it is not a theory or even an hypothesis. It is not even a rational speculation. It is a delusional assertion. It may be an "innocent" delusion because the person hasn't learned any better. Or, there may be underlying reasons why the person steadfastly holds to those delusions. In the later case, generally (in my limited experience) no amount of reasoning can convince them out of their delusion. The underlying issues must be dealt with along with the irrational belief.

I would liken trying to convince someone that the earth is not flat to be like trying to reason with a drunk. What is going on in their brain has nothing to do with whatever it is that they are claiming. Trying to reason with a drunk who claims that his wife is being unfaithful is pointless.
The real problem has nothing to do with what the person is claiming. (May I smilingly suggest that many of the arguments between couples are like?)
In this case, no amount of reasoning can reach Spherical in his delusion. About all any of us can really do is earnestly pray for him. God may well want to do something great in his life.
Please pray for him.

all this stuff you're gishing is totally consistent with atmospheric refraction.
according to disc-earth though, it should be visible from an 'astonishing' 5,800 miles away.
so show us pictures of the rocky mountains taken through a telescope in Maine, or go home.
show us the pictures of Great Britain taken from the US east coast.
show us pictures of Mauna Loa taken from California.
o you can't?
well that's because everything about this idea, that you treat like a god, is a lie.
& it's obvious to everyone except you & GaryA and maybe a couple of other senseless people you've managed to deceive.

Hey spherical let's say we have only numbers to determine the earth flat or sphere... Can only use one.
0123456789 these single numbers make up all numbers
im going to use 8 is my choice
first looking at the number I see a up and down north and south circles
second turn the number on its side 90degrees and now I have right to left east and west circles
third the 8 number has something interesting it has a cross in the middle.
