Ignoring that ancient mathematicians were able to calculate the size of the earth with pretty good results, considering their "world spanning empires" are what we'd consider regional now.
Also that you can literally watch a ship come over the horizon, seeing it's sails first before the body actually moves into view. If the earth were flat the entire thing would be visible the entire time.
You can't reason people out of positions they didn't reason themselves into.
The ships thing, they explain that away with "sea mountains"....I wish I was kidding....
But I thought water always found its level, that’s why they think water will just flow off a round earth because they fundamentally do not understand gravity or basic, high school, physics.
Yeah, I don't think they understand most of any of the contradictory things they posit.
