RE: The Question No Flat Earther Can Answer!

[steemtruth]

Thanks @jimbobbill. I wish you luck with the guy at work. I hope that he takes it seriously, many just seem to dismiss it and reply with 'but what about X'? On the surface I can see why some people may believe in a flat earth. They do have a few decent arguments to support the belief. But not nearly enough for me to change my position.

I did receive a reply from someone who doesn't believe the earth is flat but is open minded and likes to play devils advocate. He wrote the following...

But that uses data about how quickly the planes are flying. If the planes were flying at different speeds they would be perfectly possible. If flat earthers don’t trust anyone who says the earth is round there is no way they would believe the data about how fast the planes are flying!

Well the southern hemisphere planes would need to be flying at over 1,000 mph (1,600 kmh) for that to work.

If flat earthers don’t trust anyone who says the earth is round there is no way they would believe the data about how fast the planes are flying!

I think he is right.
