What is the best evidence for a globe shaped Earth?
There are a number of ways to demonstrate the Earth is roughly spherical and spinning without ever leaving the ground, but I’m not confident most proponents of a flat Earth would be bothered with verifying these things for themselves.

We need something BIG; something relevant to people’s lives; something which the average person cannot dismiss.

I choose hurricanes, typhoons, and all manner of tropical cyclone. These things are BIG. Imagine the combined nuclear arsenal of all the powers on Earth, detonating. Multiply that by two or three. A hurricane can release that much energy in a single day. It would be a pretty damned hard thing to fake. It’s a difficult argument to make that we could possibly be directing them, either with Tesla fields or HAARP or directed energy weapons or magnets or pick your favourite instrument of conspiracy theorists. That would be the U.S. government versus 13 000 megatons of energy released per day! If your friend does make that argument, I’m sorry but he’s committed to his belief system and nothing will change that.

And relevant? You betcha. Tens of millions of Americans and Latin Americans alone experienced them firsthand this year. Tens or hundreds of millions more watched daily from their screens with some combination of morbid curiosity, fascination, and concern.

It's too long for a single post.

So the pitter patter of rain droplets from the sky means that the Earth is a Soccerball. 

So the pitter patter of rain droplets from the sky means that the Earth is a Soccerball. 

Moon rocks.
By that I don't mean that the moon rocks

But that the moon rocks brought back by USA and USSR
Can't be faked on earth.

If you believe they can be faked
Then do it.

And good luck.

Well come to think of it. The conspiracy providing shills on internet forums 24/7 is pretty damning evidence that they want you to believe it is a globe. If it is really a globe, why would they bother?

I can trump all of you. The best evidence for a round earth is two axes of celestial rotation, one north, one south. It can be verified by any individual able to travel, it requires no equipment to observe, and can be at least partly witnessed by every person on earth.

If the earth is really flat, then why does the globe model match real world observations so well?

It absolutely 100% simply doesn't.

Incorrect, the globe model absolutely 100% simply does match real world observations very well.

If you disagree, please present your evidence!

The globe model matches what you're told it matches and nothing more than that.

You are simply reliant on what you are schooled into and you have absolutely no physical proof to back any of it up.

Incorrect, the globe model absolutely 100% simply does match my own real world observations very well.

Ahhh... the classic "indoctrination" deflection!

Do you not realize that this argument carries absolutely NO weight, whatsoever?
