The striking parallel of the Flat Earth to the perspective of the early descriptors is in many ways visually similar.
First he created the sky (protected by Šahrewar, Av. Xšaθra Vairiia), which enclosed the world like the shell of an egg (cf. Bailey, pp. 135-36). The second creation was water (protected by Hordād, Av. Haurvatāt), which filled the lower half of the “egg.” The third creation, earth (protected by Spandārmad, Av. Spənta Ārmaiti), shaped like a flat disk, floated on the primeval waters. On it stood the fourth, fifth, and sixth creations, respectively the single plant or tree (protected by Amurdād; Av. Amərətāt), the uniquely created bull (protected by Wahman, Av. Vohu Manah), and the first man, Gayōmard (Av. Gaiiō.marətan, protected by Ohrmazd himself).
"It is impossible to fully understand the system, while you are living within the system".
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
"
Micah 6:8

Well, greetings again, oh dwellers of the thread...
I see that there continues to be a great deal of criticism, and quite a lot of insults -

Skyline Skepticism: The Lake Michigan Mirage
By: Tom Coomes
www.abc57.com...
The distance from Warren Dunes state park is about 53 miles across the lake to Chicago. Someone that’s six feet tall standing on the lake shore can only see about three miles to the horizon. If you climb to the top of Tower Hill (250ft) you can see almost 20 miles to the horizon. That’s still not far enough to see Chicago, at least at ground level. The Willis (Sears) Tower is 1,450 feet to the top. Doing the same calculations you could see it from up to 65 miles away on Tower Hill.

The views along the lake are always changing, along with the weather.
“I do go out and take a lot of photos of Chicago along the lake. I go to different locations on different nights. I like to compare the photos as to what's changed. Are the buildings wider, taller, shorter are there more of them? Less of them? It's always different, it's so unpredictable, I want to catch as many different views of it as I can," Nowicki said.
To those that doubt affects of refraction. The full Chicago skyline should be visible all the time if it weren't the case, barring clouds, rain or fog. However that’s not the case, it is always changing. I encourage anyone to go look for themselves.
Absolute Proof the Earth is Round NOT Flat!

Zooming on something that isn't over the horizon does not bring it back over the horizon. It wasn't over the horizon to start with.
Having to climb to altitude to see a long way does not prove you can see a long way at ground level. It kind of proves that you can't.
Using an infrared lens at an altitude not high enough to see curvature does not prove the Earth isn't a sphere. This view of Earth in infra-red does.

Just being devil's advocate here; in regards to pictures of earth being proof of a globe I mean c'mon. That would be so easy to fake. Any picture can be fake. Look at Kubrick's 2001, great film, not real. 1968. For the record, I'm not saying he did the moon landing or that the earth is flat, just that a photograph isn't proof by any means
Are they?
Do we have a real photo of the entire Planet Earth? Is NASA concerned of its shape?

Did you prove curvature yet
Zooming in on an object invisible until zoomed in on after it passed the visible eye horizon brought back into sight is proof there is no curved horizon.
Legally curvature has not been proven
Heliosexuals embracing ignorance since Columbus
For the last year the heliosexuals have been relentlessly making content trying to discourage Derek and I from creating content around the truth, its time to give them a taste of their own medicine.
