It is a crazy theory. We have plenty of evidence that planets rotate and that they are spherical in nature. There would have to be such an organized conspiracy here that it does not make sense.

You do not have plenty of evidence that planets rotate or that they are spherical in nature. Making sense is not a prerequisite for being true.

You can actually see the other planets with a telescope, you can see their spherical nature, see them rotate, and even see the moons of Jupiter orbiting around the planet with your own eyes... if you wished. But most flat earthers don't wish to see these things because they do not confirm their bias.

I have a telescope. Nothing that you just said is true.

LOL. People have been seeing that for hundreds of years. You actually have to LOOK through the telescope and look at the right planets and use the focus feature, and have clear skies. You know, use it and use it properly.

Been doing that since childhood. I don't think you have a telescope.

Weird, because me and hundreds of thousands of other amateur astronomers see those things. You might want to clean your lenses, or maybe get glasses. Or join an astronomy club, perhaps.

In fact, there are astronomy clubs around the world. Anyone interested in seeing those things for themselves could just go join a club and see for themselves before investing in a telescope.

So to clarify, you don't have a telescope?

LOL. What part of 'me and hundreds of thousands of other amateur astronomers' do you not understand? Yes, I have a telescope. I've seen those things dozens of times. As has everyone in my astronomy club, and dozens of other people I've personally met.

Satellite photos show the curvature of Earth, so I'm not sure how you discount that. You would have to believe satellite photos, the moon landing, the Apollo missions, etc, are fake to believe Earth is flat. Maybe you do. Maybe they are.

Bro, the true flat-earther will find the way to discount any evidence, no matter how strong it is. It is pointless, been there...

Only if it is discountable

Everything is discountable in your eyes. Case in point is you discounting even being able to see PLANETS with a telescope! And the video you put that there are no satellite photos when you can download the massively large raw data of the:

Copernicus
Himawari
Epic Discover

all in the public domain. You can compare them to natural events around the world and see they match up. The files are incredibly massive. No possible way to fake them.

But thanks for making his point that you will discount everything that doesn't confirm your bias. You gave two perfect examples of that for globers to be able to understand the mentality of flat earthers better.

My point is they are not photographs, and if you wanted to know how strips of data from "satellites" are interpreted into the images you seem to think are photos, you would have to make an effort. Camera lenses didn't see those pretty pictures.

Yes, they are. You DO know that the satellites we have now are higher than the Blue Marble was that you are parroting the video, right? I think you need to research where the Himawari and the Epic Discover are in their orbits.

The data you get from those is the whole earth and raw data. Just because satellites 10 years ago couldn't do whole earth raw data without processing because they did not go high enough, does not mean it is still done that way now with satellites that orbit at higher elevations.

Here's the Himawari with live shots downloaded as raw data every 10 minutes. The raw data is open source and utterly massive. You can take the data and match it up with actual events, if you were to so desire to find out the truth.

Nothing goes higher than hydrogen. Believe all the cgi fiction you want. Good day sir.

They are. There is no such thing as a satellite photo - if you have evidence to the contrary please post it, but listen to this song first:
