@OneDummHikk I think it's like just before genesis started in the bible so like 6000 years ago. At least that's what I heard from some random friend of mine.
@OneDummHikk Well, gravity, like here on our ROUND earth couldn't exist if the earth was flat. Also, There would be no such thing as a south pole, if the earth wasn't flipping like a coin, but spinning like a bey-blade, while being flat.
At the centre, you would feel like on earth today, but when you come closer to the edge, the centre would trie to pull you back. And finally: why are planets round? I think because of the rotation - asteroids don't rotate like planets. Yet I don't know, but I will bring the scenarios I think COULD be somehow possible.
if the earth is CONSTANTLY accelerating upwards then why aren't we crashing into stars the sun other planets ect...
Ok we have proven that the Earth is round. What else do we need?
(Disclaimer: I'm a Christian, and this is purely satirical)
Actually, as a Christian, I believe that the world is not a sphere, not a circle, not a square... but a tetrahedron. Specifically, in the book of Revelation, it talks about the angels at the, and I quote, "Four corners of the Earth." This alone allows us to conclude that the Earth is either square or tetrahedral, since these are the only two or three dimensional shapes with exactly four corners. So we must find a way to rule out one or the other in order to come to a conclusion. Let's think about this. We know that with the exception of, say, the North Pole, the sun shines on any given point for about 16 hours a day. This would make sense in the case of a tetrahedron, since, if we imagine a tetrahedron rotating around the sun, any given point would be exposed to it for 2/3 of the time, so 16 hours out of 24. Thus, we conclude that the earth is a tetrahedron.

I'm OK with a basically flat earth,but a 2-dimensional one???
When I say I'm OK with a flat earth,that's because I'm a good swimmer,so I can cope with the ocean sloshing backwards and forwards twice a day.

In Flat Earth Mythology, the Earth is still 2 dimensional round, its just flat in the 3rd dimension. As for the "South Pole", @bunyip might opine that it would/should be the NORTH pole that doesn't exist. Which brings up another neat question, what direction does the Earth Rotate?
#153 most *stable* bodies are spheroidal due to Gravity. Gravity is also responsible for the rotation of those bodies.

"if the earth is CONSTANTLY accelerating upwards then why aren't we crashing into stars the sun other planets ect..."
That is theory behind Flat Earth Gravity is constant acceleration in an upward direction. At 9.81 m/s^2 for 6,000 years (Flat Earth age for the Earth) gives an upward speed of ~1,856,208,960,000 meters/second while the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters/second. That gives the Earths upward speed at 6,200 times the speed of light. I have yet to find a Flat Earther that can explain that discrepancy.

"Ok we have proven that the Earth is round. What else do we need?"
The only thing you proved is that if I ask someone who believes in a Flat Earth to explain Gravity that you will speak up :D
@bunyip, you are a chess player, can you even count to 3 dimensions or are you *forced* to accept 2 dimensions :D
Yeah, I am bored today.

@OneDummHikk Iam must saying that there is no point dragging this conversation when it is so obvious that the earth is round. The conversation had concluded and yet, we were stalling and I wanted to stop that
