Do you think the Earth is Round or flat?

I am a sailor and I have personally sailed around the world. We sailed west the whole time and never turned around. We did not hit a wall or fall off the edge.

Although there are some weird things that happen out on the open ocean that make me understand that we know more about space than we know about the sea.

i can’t even imagine the stories…

that’s so cool!

No, but surely by now some idiot would have taken a selfie while they dangled their legs off the edge!

Best response yet!

Not at all an argument but I wonder, Since that was in the Bible for that long, why did people spend so long arguing that it was flat.

Because the Bible was kept away from them. It was not available to them in their own language for centuries, as the prominent church did not want them to have it, and they were either discouraged or forbidden to own one, often on pain of death. This is still the case in many countries.

I watched this reality show yrs back (The Truman Show) where a guy sailed the ocean in a storm. When he reached the end of the ocean there was a wall. So that's why no one falls off the edge, there isn't one, we're boxed in. So it's a box, but we are on the inside.

Maybe in a snowglobe

You replied pretty quick, are you a sorceress?

It's stretched out to make it flat. Like a map. The map is 2D, but the whole earth is on there

It is a flat disc supported by four elephants standing on the back of a giant turtle that swims through the cosmos. The center of the earth revolves around the twin cities of Ankh and Morpork.
