As to how a round earth will appear to look flat

That is how.

The Earth is a flat disk, which means, you got it, the edge of it is round!

That's the cowardly sarcasm I see all over this board!

Now Lord Wilmore might actually have an answer as to what he might expect to see if he was standing on the surface of a very large sphere!

Personal attacks?

An interesting gif by the OP but wouldn't the same type of gif using the earth image in the FAQ have the same result in the last frame?

That's the point. We cannot rely on our eyes at ground level along to tell us the shape of the entire earth. This is why testimony from people who have been to (and sent probes to) an extremely high altitude is helpful in determining the true shape of the earth.

It would seem that the true shape of the earth would have to determined prior to the generating the gif so that the correct image is used from the start.  I have read that pictures taken at high altitudes have been debunked in other threads and ENaG et al give evidence for the image in the FAQ.  

Thinking that Zetetic influence should not be disregarded it would be prudent to just say the OP gif is not indicative of prove or disprove of a round earth.    

Those threads established that it is possible to fake images, not that all images of the earth from space are faked.

I didn't say how the gif is proof I implied how it means any large object such as the Earth will appear to look flat when viewed close up. Which means it can't be used as proof for how you nutters think the Earth is flat.

The last frame of the gif does seem reasonable.  If you search the site and read FET inspired books you will see that the measurements of earth are an issue under discussion.

It doesn't seem to be under discussion in the FEB section of this site.  In fact, not much of anything seems to be under discussion in the FEB section of this site.  I wonder why that is.  It certainly isn't because there is a consensus among FE'ers.
