Are there any honest people out there that are willing to accept that there is no real proof for a rotating global Earth?
I've asked for proof and all I get are lies or acceptance of a mainstream model based on tales and ready made script.
Interesting. I consider myself to a very honest person but I have to say I see it from the opposite point of view. I see it as there is no real proof the Earth is flat. I've seen plenty of proof here and elsewhere that the Earth is a globe.
My point is that none of this is about being honest. It's about what we individually believe. Huge difference.
As for me, I'm an engineer (UCONN Baby) and I need more than just opinion based proofs. I need to see and understand the mechanism that makes something work. I'm very good at visualizing and applying concepts outside of the norm. It’s why I get the projects at work that don’t fit into the usual design/analysis box. I’m able to follow most of the discussions here on a conceptual level and can see where the poster is going with it. The trouble is I don’t buy most of it. It doesn’t fit the mechanics of how the world operates around me...not the way I’ve been taught it works but the way I’ve observed it to work over my life time.
Where I’m really going with it is, just because I disagree with you doesn’t make me dishonest.

I never said you were dishonest.
When I mention your name, then I'll be mentioning you.
Apart from that, what you've just typed still doesn't prove a rotating globe and remember one thing. It's you people that are on a flat Earth forum trying to refute a flat Earth or alternate Earth, by either potentially honest means or by certain people being dishonest in pushing a rotating globe in the faces of people who can clearly see that there is no direct proof for a rotating globe.
Being an engineer gives you no authority on the shape of the Earth, anymore than a gardener or a pizza maker, etc.
So how about giving me a nailed on proof.
If you can't, then simply say that.
I apologize. I never meant to imply you were taking about me specifically. I assumed you were taking about round earth believers in general...of which I am one.
The part about the engineer was just to provide perspective into how I view things. nothing more than that.

And that's fair enough in what you say.
I accept that you could well be a very intelligent engineer and know your designated stuff, plus being able to solve many off the wall problems, etc.
If you are totally honest with yourself though, you would concede that you do not know for sure that the Earth is a rotating globe that we live on.
Argue all you want that you know it's a globe but until you absolutely prove it then you have nothing.
I went from being a globalist to alternate Earth theory because I realised ther eis no proof for a globe and it's basically based on some potentials to absolute nonsense.
It's weird how people can be made to think it's a globe though. I remember doing just that whilst out fishing at night. I always look back to that time as a point of how I was brainwashed into believing a globe before finally realising it is anything but a globe and especially not a rotating one.
All globalists who've had the opportunity to look critically at the model, should be questioning it in a serious manner and not just spouting off against alternate theories.
Those that do this are simply weaklings.
Those who believe Earth is a globe without any other reason, other than they were told in schools and by peers, can be excused from the argument, because those people just go about their lives not really giving a rats arse...and are just doing their daily tasks.
