Thanks for your input, Let us look at these one at a time, item nine says the earth is round, yet others say it is an oblate spheroid.
If we were living on a oblate spheroide would not gravity be more powerful in some places than others? All of the pictures from NASA show it as being perfectly round. Which is it?

(9) The Center of Gravity
There’s an interesting fact about mass: it attracts things to it. The force of attraction (gravity) between two objects depends on their mass and the distance between them. Simply said, gravity will pull toward the center of mass of the objects. To find the center of mass, you have to examine the object.

Consider a sphere. Since a sphere has a consistent shape, no matter where on it you stand, you have exactly the same amount of sphere under you. Imagine an ant (perhaps the same one from the previous point) walking around on a crystal ball. Assuming the crystal ball is polished, the ant’s only indication of movement would be the fact it’s moving its feet. The scenery (and shape of the surface) would not change at all.

Why is this so hard for you to grasp?
One little gripe about the sphere, what about the rest of it? Hmm? You are not backing anything up with CREDIBLE science. Try again, cameras have changed through the years, nice meme lol

So... you can't explain it?

Since you only seem to be able to understand youtube videos, why don't you give this one a spin.

look at 5:24 in your video, the coriolos effect. If we were spinning like the merry go round why is it that airplane flight times are the same coming and going? the is not possible on a globe rotating at 1000 miles an hour. Thanks for helping to prove my point.

Rather than name calling please provide some evidence to back up your assertion that the earth is round or oblate or pear shaped.

Sorry, I'm done with this conversation. I don't converse with holocaust-denying anti-Semitic maggots like you. I can only hope that somewhere along the line you catch AIDS (Which I'm sure is something else you don't believe in) and you die the kind of death that you deserve.

Lol, this is funny!
You need to try again. Fail.
Science is not your strong suit. Knowing science terms doesn't mean you understand them.

I think the lack of curvature is very credible. Take a look at the post showing Chicago from across lake Michigan. It should be impossible to see.

The science books say the sun is moving at 670000 miles per hour while we rotate around it. Why is it that I can still see the same constellations that the ancients saw? If we were moving that fast there should be new constellations every so often. Yet pisces remains pisces etc etc. How can that be?

so the ant would think that it's flat even though it is, in fact, round.

you sum up quite nicely...
