He does come across as rather arrogant and opinionated, but he's simply stating facts and using logic to form his conclusions without resorting to the use of much science.
Just because he's a prat doesn't mean he's not correct igloo.
Plus if you go and look at some of the groups and people replying to his videos, they are not exactly being nice or making much sense.

Not sure what Christianity has to do with it though?
They will mention things like the firmament i suppose with reference to biblical cosmology.
fir·ma·ment /ˈfərməmənt/ nounliterary
noun: firmament; plural noun: firmaments
the heavens or the sky, especially when regarded as a tangible thing.

The thing is igloo hes not the only one claiming that the Earth is an oblate spheroid.
As to commonly believed ideas, well his seems be backed by logic and simple observation as opposed to pseudoscience and denying gravity.
Plenty of other evidence that our Earth is not flat including the photographic sorts.
As to him having nothing, seems like a lot to me.
Keeping in mind he's attempting to leave the science to a bare minimum.
How do you expect him to provide documents or historical papers pertaining to flat earth when nobody else believes the earth to be flat, aside from people who are poorly educated that choose to place their belief in such nonsense?
You realise that humanity has known the world is not flat for a few millennia?
Even the ancient greeks knew the shape of the world to be a globe/sphere.

I usually won't listen to this guy because of his mocking tone.
...
He's simply stating his commonly held beliefs over and over and over.
Do you realize what the firmament is ?
In biblical cosmology, the firmament is the vast solid dome created by God during the Genesis creation narrative to divide the primal sea into upper and lower portions so that the dry land could appear.
Will check out your links after work. Personally, don't care what shape the earth is. Much more interested in the psychology behind the ridicule.
A flat object cannot be created in space.
The time/space fabric does not allow for it .

you are free to believe anything you like, but when you stand on a shore, and watch a passenger ship disappear over the horizon, do you call 911, if not, why?
Of course you don't call since 911 was an Inside the Hollow Earth Job.

To argue for or against Earth as flat or globe is meaningless.
