    Let earth be flat and circular. I can walk in circles. But since I can also dig and fly, I can change levels on the z-axis and travel in circles on different ones. Therefore it's not flat.

    I didn't prove that it is spherical. It can be that, it can be pyramid, it can be cylinder etc.

    Next time, rephrase your question if you want to have some chances in your debate.

    Plenty of stupid teachers around. My best bet is that your teacher doesn't believe everything he's saying and is in fact just testing your ability to think logically. Assuming this, he's a great teacher. If your teacher actually believes what he's saying...physicists around the world would die of laughter.

    EDIT: For your school's sake, it better be a joke. B|

    How about we just go with the theory that the Earth is a cube?

    At the rate we're going we could make the Earth any shape we like. We just need proof and a bunch of stuff that seems idiotic and impossible but have no ways of disproving it

    I would prefer if the Earth was more like a Rubiks cube, sir. :c


    For some reason, I pissed myself laughing at that.

    no I think he meant Kingdom Hearts just because Saix uses it like a moon doesn't mean that it is an actual moon

    Unless you first prove that your religion is legit you might as well quote the terminator.

    There' s been overwhelming evidence that the Earth is round, most of it invalidating the flat Earth hypothesis, so right now round Earth is the "official" theory. If his stance is to deny their validity then he' s basically advocating a massive, international hoax, flawlessly and systematically executed over several centuries. Needless to say this strikes me as hard to swallow, which brings Russell's teapot to mind.

    Basically you don' t have to prove him that the Earth is round, the burden of proof lies on him. Him asking you to prove that Earth is round is the same as him asking you to prove that you didn' t kill the Batman yesterday. Would you even bother defending yourself against such an absurd claim ? I suppose not. Well you don' t need to answer his flat Earth claim either, he' s the one supposed to build his case. I mean, if he' s so sure that he could build a better case for the flat Earth hypothesis then how come the scientific community isn' t bowing at him in awe right now, making it the new accepted theory ? Let me guess, they' re all part of the Round Earth Millenarian Conspiracy or something ...

    Math 101: If the probability of something is greater than 0%, you cannot prove that it cannot be.
