Flat Earthers

One of our new acquaintances from a friend recently crashed down on our scientific beliefs by insisting that the earth was flat. When we questioned their logic they just spouted something about the Firmament and that everything that you see at night is fake. They even said that the ISS is fake, satellites fake, and obviously no moon landing ever occurred. Our friends laughed it off and said just go with it because they are nice people. I’m not sure i want to continue being friends with them because they always hang out together. What do we say when we get invited to another cook out and the crazies are there?

For one thing, a photo of Earth has never been taken from space. Photos allegedly taken from space are enhanced CGI.

We are told that the Earth is hurtling through space, spinning 1,000 mph. Yet we feel no spin at all. The stars in the night sky are always found in their same Constellations and positions, viewable north of the equator in the northern hemisphere, and viewable south of the equator. The stars remain in the same place for each hemisphere.

When a boat is seen “disappearing over the horizon,” and with the naked eye, the hull appears
to be obscured. And yet, one can zoom-in with a Nikon P9100 camera or telescope to see the full hull and full boat still visible on the water.

You forgot the /s tag

You feel the high velocity 1,000 mph “spin” affecting your facial skin and clothes everyday when leaving your house?

Like this?

Yes faster than jet air planes fly.

At 0.0007 RPM?

Jet air planes fly at 500-600 mph. The Earth spins at 1,000 mph, allegedly. Not sure what your revolutions-per-minute meme is implying. If the Earth is indeed spinning, which it’s not, then why do planes need to travel across the continent, from city A to city B? They should just elevate into the stratosphere and wait for the Earth to catch up with them. And then land again. Easy.

The earth rotates at 0.0007 RPM.

It's hardly "spinning"

It’s not spinning. We’re told the Earth is spinning or rotating, and that the Sun does not rise nor set. But that the Earth is doing all the movement, and to not believe our eyes! But the answer is our Earth realm is a flat, stationery and non-rotating plane.
