200 Proofs Earth is Not a Spinning Ball

They are not "proofs". They are arguments, and all I've considered are, to various degrees, easily dismissed.

This is a religion for these people. They don't need proof of anything.

I think my favorite argument against flat earth is the time it takes to fly form Chile to New Zealand. If the earth is flat, these 2 places are on the opposite side of the flat earth disk which would be an enormous distance, and the conventional airline flight time of about 13 hours would mean the plane has to fly at about Mach 2. Of course commercial airliners are all subsonic.

With this counter argument, there's no blaming NASA for lying or scrutinizing pictures that may have been CGI enhanced. Flight info is verifiable on the net and average people fly that route daily. There is no flat earth explanation for it.

There is no flat earth explanation for why a compass works, why the stars are different in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere, why revolve around the celestial poles, why they people can't see the Eiffel tower and the Himalayas from a mountain top using a telescope, why the motions of the planets are predictable, etc...

You'd have to erase any intelligence, logic, or rational thought a person has for them to believe in a flat earth.

It's as if they are scared of the vastness of the universe and need to shrink it down to something they can accept.

A compass could potentially still work. While it's not possible to have only a north pole without a south pole, the south pole could be centered well below a flat earth disk. I hesitate to mention that as I don't want the mention to be construed as supporting flat earthism, but I do like to let facts speak for themselves.

why the stars are different in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere, why they revolve around the celestial poles,

I think they may say the stars are much closer to the earth. Maybe a couple hundred miles up. That would give a different north vs south hemisphere view. Though the next problem is that the people in the S hemisphere would see stars whizzing through the sky at, well, astronomical speeds.

I guess a time lapse video of the stars moving in a circular manner over the "fake" south pole would/should throw a monkey wrench into the theory.

why they people can't see the Eiffel tower and the Himalayas from a mountain top using a telescope, why the motions of the planets are predictable, etc...

For a number of these things flat earthers have various theories concocted. Challenging those theories just takes you on a journey down the rabbit hole. Theories can be modified to be compatible with problematic observations.

You'd have to erase any intelligence, logic, or rational thought a person has for them to believe in a flat earth.

My theory is that the human mind has a greatly underestimated ability to believe things that are not true. Massively underestimated. It's the reason why some Muslims blow themselves up, why people hate Trump so much, why countries are largely one specific religion over vast periods of time, and so on. It's a basis for deception something we are all subject to and I don't consider anyone immune, including myself.

That is certainly the most intelligent observation in this whole thread and a for sure keeper.
