When you talk about flat Earth, due to humanity having been indoctrinated for decades, you see that the first reaction from whom hears it is “I can’t believe that in the 21st century there are people who believe in flat Earth”.
In the face of the overwhelming physical and Biblical (much more important) evidence, I think we shpould turn the question around and proclaim the truth; and, instead of defending ourselves, rather we should say “I can’t believe that, in the 21st century, there are still people that believe that Earth is a ball which spins in an infinite Universe”. And, furthermore, in front of alleged Christians who would say the first sentence I quote, a good answer might be “And I can’t believe that there are Christians who haven’t read the Bible”.
Let’s proclaim the truth!

Even in the Classical Era, there were already available tools to prove Earth was round.
And, please, the Bible has authority only for question of theology: I’m sure the compilers were more concerned about questions of ethics and liturgy than about being accurate about biology, astronomy and other fields.
How dare you sully the word “truth” with your outdated outlook on the world? The Earth is NOT flat. We have known for years that it is round. You proclaim false things as “truth”. That does not make sense to me. And why are you so hung up on it, anyway? Why do Christians, especially (And I can’t emphasize this enough) in the south, tend to not live according the the morals of The Bible, and instead, try desperately to prove things like Creationism, Flat Earth, and now weird, shape-shifting Reptilians ruling the world and eating and having sex with children? Why do they disgustingly use The Bible to support their deplorable, so-called “theories”?
Why do they still think that they are the “good guys”?
"Biblical evidence”… Isn’t that by definition an oxymoron at this point?
…But fine, I’ll play your game. What is more believable; more evidence of an almighty, divine creator? That the entirety of existence is only 6,000 years old, and consists of just a small disc with a firmament over it, populated by barely-sentient mud dolls throwing feces at each other, or that “creation” is an incomprehensible multiverse full of infinite universe, each eons old and full of millions of galaxies, with each billions of stars, an infinity of beauty and diversity, just waiting to be explored and learned?
It’s the height of hubris and pride to think the entirety of creation literally revolves around us humans, and that we were made in the spitting image of an omnipotent and omniscient cosmic being.
“It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.” and “Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations”. Two quotes from ST that encapsulate my view on the cosmos.
You turn iyt around, but you're still talking about Flat Earth, and you'll still be dismissed as a raving lunatic, not worth tge effort to educate on physics, biology, geology, history, astronomy, and basic common sense thsst proves you wrong.

“decades”…..LOL

Magellan. And way before him, the ancient Greeks.
Besides, spheres in nature: water droplets; even towers for the manufacture of bullets made from molten Lead: what shape did they form...?!
Ergo, Occam's Razor. If you & all your contrarian ilk ever had a 'point', your argumental 'blade' was blunted right from the start.
Facts destroy so-called 'Truth'.

Not only established it was round, but in the 3rd century BC Eratosthenes managed to use available survey data to pretty accurately measure the circumference, as well as the tilt of its axis.

Only in the minds of heretics!
(And no, I don’t know which scripture it is, but you’re still a heretic!)

Oh my, is it possible you are unfamiliar with Time Cube? If so, check out this page on rationalwiki . Or the original site on the internet archive. It was crazy, but it had something to do with time being a cube because each day was actually 4 days simultaneously, because time, much like a cube, has 4 sides. Or something like that, anyway. Also a bunch of weird racism, anti-theism, and bizarre paranoia. And one of the most hideous examples of Web site design in history.
Time Cube? What’s next?
Time Pyramid?
Time Penrose Stairs?
Time Airplane Runway?

I wholeheartedly agree with you. These guys are so arrogant to think that we are LITERALLY the center of the universe. They say animals don’t feel emotions, aliens are actually Nephilim and demons, and anybody who doesn’t agree with Trump is reptilian.
Well, I don’t really know if they say those exact things, but I have seen at least similar things to what I listed. It’s not very unlikely that they would say that.

Earth? Or New Earth?
Everything else describes current Earth as an inside-out snowglobe. Wsters Above, Waters Below, the land a mud pie spread over the water....
@Spacewyrm @Malingspann @KZadBhat
All wrong. The Earth (we call her Babsi, she likes that) is a cube with five sides. She was created exactly 10,483 years ago. It was a Tuesday, at 15:27 GMT. It was nice and shiny and clean until all that horrible mold people call trees and grass started to grow on it. So now it’s ruined.
Why do people love mold on the ground outdoors but not on the walls of their living quarters? Strange.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
