You need another choice: "It can't be proven" because none of the current choices are suitable for someone who believes the flat earth does not exist

In my opinion it cannot be proven either, but if I was going to believe this theory, it needs to be proven.

Is that because it doesn't exist, so everyone has access to all the proof for it?

Where is this "proof of a flat Earth"? I have never seen anything that could be classed as a "proof of a flat Earth".

You keep simply saying things like that but refuse to provide any evidence or links to evidence of your claims.
Might I suggest that you really have no "proof of a flat Earth" - if you do please reveal it?

You failed to present any evidence that you have seen a single proof.

Well, we have the FAQ.
Quote from: Jack
Perhaps the best example of flat earth proof is the Bedford Level Experiment. In short, this was an experiment preformed many times on a six-mile stretch of water that proved the surface of the water to be flat. It did not conform to the curvature of the earth that round earth proponents teach.
Surely everyone who comes to a new site reads the FAQ....

In all honesty there are no proofs, just as there are no models or accurate flat earth maps.
What the flat earth community does have are lots of ideas about how they think the world is. It’s pretty much up to you to either believe them or not.

Interesting for FE people to aim sharp skepticism at everything RE-related.  Yet FEarthers will buy, hook, line, and sinker, anything FE related.  Does not compute in my view.  Where's the skepticism aimed at FE claims.  Sounds like a case of knowing the answer before entering the debate.  It's not a true debate unless you are willing to accept alternate outcomes and different hypotheses.

Suggestion for the FEarthers: have conversations with those of us of RE-style thoughts to attempt to understand our position.  Empathy goes a long way in human relations. 

My observation: your self reliance is getting in your way.  Do you believe that the phone company switches your calls correctly even though you don't see them do it?  Why? Do you believe the power company operates huge plants that generate electricity for us and sends it via wires over thousands of miles over land and under sea?  Why?  Why don't you doubt that farmers grow crops and raise livestock to send it to your market for your consumption if you haven't seen them do it?   How do you know I am a human being typing these questions to you?  You're not seeing me when I type. Nihilism is a tough habit to break.

The biggest, most persuasive proof for the Flat Earth model -- indeed, the one bit of evidence that all Round Earthers would insist upon -- is locating The Edge.

The Edge is simply the dropping off end of the flat planet; the corner where the downward sides start, the point where the flat surface ceases.  If you are among those who believe the flat planet somehow goes on an infinite plane, then The Edge would be the limit of known geography beyond which everything is terra incognita.  Either way it would be something not on the conventional maps of the world, and it ought  to be in every direction if you go far enough.

Then, of course, having found The Edge, mankind could explore it.  That exploration might encourage new industries, new science, and the discoveries of new resources.  Maybe, beyond The Edge, there are plants and animals that human have not yet seen, maybe even creatures comparable to humans with their own culture and sciences.

Let's face it, if the earth were flat then there'd be an Edge, and, if there is no Edge then it follows that the earth is not flat.

That is because we have no idea what the video is trying to say.
I see a picture of Earth from a very high altitude showing clear curvature of the horizon.
I think that is a pretty good disproof of a FE.

Your limited knowledge and experience of debate may have led you to form this incorrect conclusion and proclaim the meaning of "true debate" but you are sorely mistaken. It's really not wise to call on a field in which you lack knowledge to try to win an argument. Please ask anyone who participates in competitive debate about the validity of your assertion.
