if the earth really was flat......

this is indeed a theory that sounds plausable. however, we must delve into the depths of our history and also find "ye olde photographs" to truly see an undoctored photo (taken that this old picture is in its true form, and not scanned onto a computer which could alter it).

however, this also is impossible...as in the dark ages of crappy pictures, we unfortunately didnt have rockets, or ladders high enuf to tell whether the earth was flat or round.

i guess we'll never know if there truly is a picture altering conspiracy, unless a FE can fly up there and throw the RE theory on its head

See, you must admit the earth is flat.

:idea: I can prove that it is fake.

The government has encredibly good artists and highly priced computer programs to do it.

OR. They just bend the flat picture into it.

So how did the students in this other discussion do it?

It is possible that they are not students, and they are lying about their photographs.

Or maybe the satellite was intercepted by the government in flight and the real photographs were replaced by fakes promoting an RE worldview.
