Trust me, it's not geography. Maybe this will help.

(Gimme a break, I drew it in MS Paint in like 2 minutes)

Anyway, do you see what I mean? The map on the right is entirely equivalent to the other as far as the placement and relations of the continents and both would conform perfectly to what all of the FE'ers are arguing for. But they clearly have entirely different geography! It's got to be one or the other, but either the sizes of the continents are immensely different or (if the sizes are the same between the two versions) the distances between them are.

With an RE model, switching the North and South poles is no big deal: if you turn a globe upside-down, it's still the same globe. But with FE, if you switch the edge of the disk with the center, you get a dramatically different object.

And the point of all this is...? Obviously we live in the first case, and therefore any examination of the other is pointless.

Ooooh, so you might as well say "Obviously the Earth is flat." and end your argument there. My question is why is it the first case when the second case is just as viable?

And why are there no other FE'ers responding to this? It's a big issue with your theory!

My problem with his ideas is that it is a ridiculous thing.

Silverhammer:

What point are you trying to make? As stated previously, asking "why is the North Pole at the center" is akin to asking "why is japan an island?". There is no magic reason why this is the case, it just is. If you want a literal answer, it would be a big long chronology of the geological movements of the Earth's materials throughout the history of time.
