Gee whiz guys. If you ever climbed Longs Peak you know that the earth is not flat. You can see the curvature. You can even measure the curvature with survey equipment on a large parcel of land. It must be compensated for! Have any flat earthers ever rode in an airliner? You can surely believe whatever you want, but the things you believe can either hurt or help your ability to succeed in life. The early circumnavigators with the most primitive navigational instruments proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the earth is a sphere. The nations that did not send out exploratory missions really lost out because their leaders believed the earth was flat, in accordance with Roman Catholic doctrine of that time. But....You guys would be the life of the party at any junior high school geography class!
