Flat Earth Debate / Re: Round Earthers have the burden of proof.

The burden of proof is on the party proposing a theory that is contradictory to the generally accepted one among the scientific community.
If that were the case, the round earth theory would have the burden of proof. That's not the case though. No modern scientist has published support for the flat earth theory.
