Not if you know anything about math. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can precisely determine how much the surface of all standing water MUST curve, in order for the earth to be a ball that is 25,000 miles in circumference. Do you know exactly how much curve there should be in ten miles distance? Silver does. Do you know your own model?

Math doesn't change the difficulty of comprehending something so vast. A mile sure, maybe even a few miles, 25,000 of them? 671 million miles per hour? Naw too much to wrap your head around unless you use science like math. That allows you to conceptualize things, and then put them in logical order.
As far as the pythagorean theorem I don't really care, but a quick google search says it's roughly 8 inches per mile, or 80 inches for 10 miles. And no I don't "know" my own model, nor do I really care to, this topic isn't that interesting to me. It is however interesting how BAD you are at science.
You gonna continue to ignore refutes of your BS? I get it man, you are use to BSing your way through this, and I just keep calling out your BS...

I'm sorry you've lost me on this one. Are you claiming that day doesn't actually fade into night, as anyone who's been outside during sunrise or sunset can verify? Sunlight should drop off significantly if the earth was a ball and was blocking sunlight after sunset. Like the NASA cartoons.
Instead there is twilight which can last for hours. I don't expect you to, listen, understand, or even attempt to, you seem to be here to see yourself typing.
"2. Coriolis Effect – Still have not explained the differences, point stands
unrefuted."
I've already explained the most practical example of the coriolis effect is a sham. Drains run out depending on the shape of the bowl and direction and force that water enters it. If you have another practical example of the coriolis effect, please explain, or this point is moot.
3. Sun’s height – Your diagram does not address the suns’ height in the sky.
What are you going on about? The sun appears to come up from the horizon til it gets overhead, then it appears to drop back to the horizon. This is perfectly explained by perspective.
"In your diagram it stays the same height, and it wouldn’t be higher or lower in certain areas of the world. "
"Secondly that proves a round earth rather than a flat earth, as the plane gets further away it gets closer to the earth by the viewer, even though it doesn’t really get closer to the earth in reality. My point stands unrefuted."
Wow. I hope you can explain how your point still stands after refuting it yourself. A plane remains at roughly the same altitude from the earth (like my sun). When we see it from our perspective, it appears to rise up, if approaching, and drop down, if it is receding. Are we clear on this?
"4) Star move – We see the arrow exactly the same way in a room, it doesn’t flip.
It most certainly does.
Maybe you need to do the experiment yourself. Ok, let's make it even easier to visualize. You are on one side of a room, facing your friend on an opposite wall, who is also facing you. An arrow, on the floor, facing your friend will appear upright to you, but upside down to him (flipped ). You can continue denying this on all you want.
"Secondly stars appear small not big,
What makes you think that? Have you measured the size of an actual star now? Or are we taking NASA'S word for this? You ever seen a star under high magnification? Stars obviously aren't gas giant balls of flame trillions of miles away.
"so “refraction” that makes objects bigger has no bearing on this discussion. Regardless of the size of the light, in the distance it should fade away if it’s like you say it is. (where the stars being close to the earth is the reason they move) My point stands unrefuted."
A) perspective
As I've explained before, and you have great difficulty understanding, this is perspective. The railroad tracks don't just "fade away", nether do the telephone poles. They merge with the horizon.
Everything follows this law, and all dimensions converge at the horizon.
"Refraction" is everywhere too. There is a LOT of water in the air.
https://water.usgs.gov/edu/watercycleatmosphere.html
As a science buff, you should know that water bends light.
http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/refrn/Lesson-1/Refraction-and-Sight
It can be shown that water both magnifies and displaces objects due to smells law. Sometimes, when an object is close to a solid object, such as the side of a glass, or the ground plane, the bended light will be obstructed.
http://aty.sdsu.edu/explain/atmos_refr/terrestrial.html
This is why stars the sun and moon don't "fade out". As perspective brings them closer to the horizon, an increasing amount of water gets between you and star, the sun, the moon, etc. the object is magnified, and displaced.
"5) Horizon – Your video show the boat “fading to obscurity” bottom first proving my point. (although all the talk about mirrors was annoying) My point stands unrefuted."
As has been shown, light can bend and displace objects. It can also invert light, in the form of a mirage.
This might be a bad example, due solely to the diagram underneath which shows a curved road, and an abnormal sized head abnormally high from the ground. As we see, the ground under the car hasn't disappeared, the trees show us the horizon, but the heat on the road (which contains a concentrated amount of water) has inverted the sky (and the vehicle) onto the road.
Since there are no trees to give us reference on the ocean, we cannot tell where the true horizon is. So now that we know more about water, and light, we can see what's going on. The boat is magnified and slightly displaced with more and more distance (water in the air) causing an inferior mirage that obscures the bottom of the boat which is magnified until it is displaced under the ground plane (the ocean's surface) it's all very perfectly well explained in the video, I was assuming you could understand English and eight grade level science.
As to your new points, I'll be working on those. I know it's difficult for you to scroll up and read the reputations already here.
And you have to Google how much the earth curves at ten miles and you still get it wrong? It's 66.6 feet of curvature at ten miles. Research your own model before you call mine ridiculous.

"6) Magnates create globes not disks, just like everything else in nature"
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/magnate
Exactly what do magnates have to do with this? If you mean magnets, where do they come in? Are you saying earth is a magnet? Can you give an example of this "in nature"? Where do "disks" come in? Have I claimed the earth to be anything but at it obviously appears to be, a plane?
"7) In the history of our existence why has no one ever reported seeing an edge? (there have been numerous explorations of antarctica)"
You are assuming there is an edge to be seen or that it is reachable. What if it's an infinite plane? What if it's passed millions of miles of ice and snow? In a hypothetical flat earth model the Antarctic CIRCLE...
Is just the outer boundaries of our cr(e)ator that the sun has carved out of the ice. When dealing with information that can't be empirically validated, it's obvious this is speculation, but it in no way proves we live on a ball.
Subsequently I'd like to point out most of you arguments are logical fallacies.
"8) How does GPS work?"
They were doing tower triangulation during world war 2. Towers are all over the place. Get outside more.
"9) How does gravity work? "
The only empirical evidence for gravity is what goes up must come down. This empirical observation instead supports my argument. Gravity is a theory invented to explain how we stick to a spinning ball. You're using a supporting theory based on a (false) assumption to prove your case, which is obviously fallacious.
"I really can not believe the lengths you are willing to go to try and prove some BS. You are talking about a global conspiracy that serves no purpose. "
It's definitely served it's purpose with you. You're convinced that nothing created us...
"You just want to spout BS, insult people who disagree with you, and walk around like you "won"."
This must be embarrassing for you.

I mean this is something that is commonly accepted, though the distances to stars are too. It would be harder for someone to navigate to the nearest star (never gonna happen) than it would be to sail over the oceans, any discrepancies from a map can be empirically validated. Again, this is the difference between science and pseudoscience.

I don't need a valid counter argument, you never disproved my video with valid arguments. Again I'm not a fan of discussing pseudoscience, but I enjoy debating and smack talk. If you can't tell that I'm participating in the debate make your really can count to potato! The video further supports 3 of my initial claims which you have never refuted. You put some religious nutjob up as your science expert whose all I don't know this, I don't know that, no one thinks this way anymore, it's not true because I say it's not true, and the scripture says this is the way it is, and act like that disproves something.
You sir are a detriment to our society. Anti-vaxxers are causing death where none needs to be. You push your anti-science agenda because you spent "2 years researching it on google" and you think you are smarter than an astrophysicist. Everything that proves you wrong is fake. Anyone who disagrees with you is stupid. You are hypocritical and ridicule books and websites and yet you lap it up when you find some obscure guy who agrees with you.
Religion had their time to force that flat earth BS on the masses. They killed scientists to protect it. But you... you think it's this HUGE cover up by the US, Russia, China, and everyone else just to make your bible wrong. MOST of those scientist believe your bible, but you still dismiss them.

"With the curvature calculator found here: https://dizzib.github.io/ you can see that an observer at 1000 feet looking at an item 163 miles away would find that object 10,631 feet below the horizon. This would place the peak of Canigou well over 1000 feet below the horizon however not only it, but other peaks near it are clearly seen. In the videos below you will see several, sometimes 6 or 7 noticeable and very clear distinct mountain peaks. Even peaks 4000 feet high can be seen and this peak should be over a mile below the horizon.
This is a widely known event.

Math - By your math the curvature is 8 inches per mile, but you multiple 163 X 8 and get… 10,631. Hmmm, that looks WAY wrong 8 X 100 is 800, so let’s have a look. 163X8 = 1,304, so you messed it up by a factor of TEN. You are WRONG.
Peaks height – The prominence for Canigou is 1,800 ft, and the elevation above sea level is 9,134 ft. Making the total height above sea level for Canigou 10,934. (where the hell did you get 4,000 feet??) So even with your bogus math it still should be send. You are WRONG again.
Observer height – The height above sea level where the video was shot makes a difference as well. It’s looking down on the ships and buildings below which seem small. So the land is above sea level, AND the build extends that even further. You didn’t take any of this into account…
Bonus points that support my claim - The mountains are 161 miles away, it is roughly 2 miles tall, but it looks like it’s only about an inch tall in the video. Your theory has the sun 3,000 miles away, it’s 32 miles tall, but it looks like it’s only about two inches tall. Does that look like your scale is correct? No… no it doesn’. If 160 miles shrinks the mountains to that height, it should make a 32 mile tall sun a pinprick at 3,000 miles, but the sun is still more than twice the size of the mountains…
The trait you share was the trait I was comparing you with… not any others. Both camps lack a basic grasp of science. I didn’t state flat earthers are causing people’s deaths like vaxxers are, you accusations are false.
I didn’t “find” any research on dinosaurs. I flat out stated I didn’t know that much about dinosaurs or the one you mentioned. I didn’t parrot anything to prove anything. You create a strawman fallacy against me.
As far as the logistics of them having sex I assume it looked something like this: (video chosen to be funny on purpose)

As for my thoughts on the T-Rex, I’ve always thought the short arms look funny, but then evolution causes some crazy mutation, which are NOT intelligently designed...

I fixed it the first time, and til you so in the next round. Furthermore, your math is wrong, the formula you are using describes an incline. Eight inches per foot is a typical rooftop pitch. For a ball you would get increasingly more drop with every mile. This is your third attempt at spherical geometry with, very lacking results. This is the core blunder in your attempt at a rebuttal. Three strikes...
The mileage will be squared.
This is your math, not mine.
So at 160 miles of drop , from sea level, is (160 x 160)8/12=17,066.66666666... feet. The calculator here...

"I didn’t parrot anything to prove anything. You create a strawman fallacy against me."
You parroted a few proofs for a globe now. You had to Google a good reason to give. I had to do it too.

But the spikes on it's back would impale the male. I don't know about you, but I don't allow sharp objects around my junk.
All those animals are indeed special looking, but they aren't top of the food chain material, so they're a bit irrelevant. Trex was supposedly the epitome I evolutionary progress.

In the garden, Eve was tempted by a serpent. While I believe that it is possible that Satan represented himself as a serpent to Eve, I believe that the word serpent or snake could simply be a metaphor, not very much unlike me calling a sly, devious and treacherous person a snake. I believe either of these two scenarios work for me. If I should be convinced that Satan never represented himself as a literal talking reptile to Eve, I'm perfectly happy accepting the notion that he is a crafty devious lying backstabbing creature, indeed just as defined in a dictionary, he was a snake. If you need a link to that definition, let me know.
The honest truth is, I don't really care that much if we live on a sphere, or a flat disk. The reality, one way or the other doesn't affect my life one iota. I have never seen a verse of scripture declaring that the earth is flat. If you have a verse to share, I'd be happy to see it, but I don't think you can find one. If you did, perhaps I might change my position. A sphere seems a great deal more logical to me, but then, who knows...I could be wrong.

That is because you are a small person on a large ball.
The earth is 23,000 miles in diameter. At that size, the slight angle of the curve makes the earth appear to be flat to someone standing on the surface.

Oh, I thought you were paying attention.
"With the curvature calculator found here:
https://dizzib.github.io/earth/curve-calc/?d0=30&h0=10&unit=imperial you can see that an observer at 1000 feet looking at an item 163 miles away would find that object 10,631 feet below the horizon. This would place the peak of Canigou well over 1000 feet below the horizon however not only it, but other peaks near it are clearly seen. In the videos below you will see several, sometimes 6 or 7 noticeable and very clear distinct mountain peaks. Even peaks 4000 feet high can be seen and this peak should be over a mile below the horizon.
