how do you know what continents are truly shaped like? have you seen an aerial view for yourself?
Are you saying that we didn't know the lay of the continents before we went to space? I hope, for your sake, that's not what you meant. There are tons of other ways of surveying land, even while on the GROUND, plus there were cartographers in planes far before they were in space ships. I mean, honestly...
is the entire purpose of your theory to poke holes in scientific theory of a round earth or do you believe it? if it is just to play devil's advocate, why not spend efforts arguing other unproven theories? wasting all the time on one theory seems like it would result in a very narrow scope of debate skills
As I've mentioned before, the argumentation of two theories against each other in turn strengthens BOTH theories until one fails. A lot of people here argue for the sake of fairness in the debate and also to strengthen our beliefs. There are also some who actually do believe it as well.
