So you believe that the reason for the global conspiracy for a round earth is money and power. How is that logistically possible?  It would cost more money to propagate the conspiracy than you would make from it?

NASA budget is billions not trillions.

Launching a space shuttle is not free, even a fake one. You have to pay for people, and material , also all of that information is public record.

If the records were faked you could, given enough time you could track down the money trail and find out if they were indeed skimming off the top. Witch should be done on a regular basis regardless of what your personal beliefs.

Again, why say the earth is round when its not? To what end would this serve.  Is it just to say hay haha we know its flat but we want you to think its round.

So what is truth from a flat earthers point of view? Is it visual observation, "It looks flat" ,imperial measurements, "I measured it, its round", or theory based on both.
Neither can be trusted but there is no possible way to do all of the measurements and experiments yourself. Who is credible, who is not. Is there any data from the round earth system that is true?  If there is how can it be trusted?

Yes but standing on a large enough irregular sphere would also "look" flat to the observer. Many things in the world are optical illusions, your eyes can not be trusted as fact.

I don't want proof or observations there are arguments for both and I have read them. I want to know is why do you believe everyone else to be wrong?

Is it philosophical, do you have some need to take the path less traveled. Do you believe we all live in virtual world and everything we see is an illusion?

So again, Why, not how?

I have read the theories and some of the data, looked at the experiments and math for the flat earth and either way it doesn't matter to me, but I have one question.

Why?

If the earth is round everything works out beautifully. The planets align and move in easily predictable patterns. All of my maps are correct.  Most of science is correct, and best of all everything is simple. Well except for quantum mechanics that's just kooky in both worlds.

So why try so hard to make the earth flat when everything works better and easier when its round?

Unless it's all a joke and then it makes perfect sense.
