The gravitational pull keeps bringing us back, we never can reach the edge.
If there was an edge we could easily fly out to it. The only way gravity could keep us from it is if the gravitic locus was at the north pole... and if that were true, we would ALL be going to see Santa Claus this Christmas.

You don't know that until you try it.

No flat-earth people have ever tried it. None of you seem to have ANY interest at all in proving any of your theories by actually trying to get to the edge.

Science is always proving what the Bible said.

Quarantine is a very good thing when you're sick.
Letting land just sit there every so often actually helps you grow better crops.
Plowing right up to the edge of a creek is a very bad idea, for erosion reasons.
Animals shouldn't be eaten if they dropped dead on their own, for no apparent reason.

It would be easy to prove the earth is flat. Why not do it?

I still don't see why we haven't just flown a plane out to the edge. The record for a long flight was many thousands of miles, but that was set long ago and modern technology could break it easily.

You don't even need an experimental plane like they had back then. Load up a jetliner with extra fuel tanks (which is very inefficient for commercial travel but very effective for long range flights) and take a flight out to the edge of the world. Bring a good camera.
The Military Jets I flew in were fueled in the air.

Commercial Jets land to be fueled.

They keep flying the wrong way and return to where they started...maybe it's the twilight zone or something.
I know when I grew up flying with my dad, it was smog or ozone depletion that made the horizon looked curved.
Or perhaps it was the twilight zone. Or maybe the Chinese. They're really smart...they could do that!
Good Pilots use their instrument panel and I am sure your dad was a good pilot.

If gravity were in one place, everyone one would be standing on each other in that one spot.
