Stand on the shore with a telescope & watch a sailing ship move out perpendicular to the shore. As the ship fades into the distance, you will see its waterline seem to rise until you can’t see the hull anymore but you WILL see the mast, until it sinks out of view. That observation cannot be made on a flat Earth. Ergo, the Earth is a sphere. The Ancient Greeks knew this. The Earth was a sphere during the Middle Ages. The Earth’s shape wasn’t an issue until some anti-science types in the 1800’s made it one. As they were developing science, parallel to it were pseudosciences, like mesmerism and phrenology, to name a couple. And idiocy is eternal.
Flat-Earthers would drive God crazy.
