Isaiah 40:22 says: "It is He who sits above the sphere of the Earth."
The Bible is clear on this matter.
That is a rather disingenuous argument since the vast majority of Bible versions use the word circle instead of sphere. The Bible given its many translations is anything but clear on this.

The truth of the matter is that we may very well live on a flat Earth.
It would be a simulation of sorts. A 3 dimensional holographic representation of a 2 dimensional plane.

Yeah that's gotta be it.

If the Earth was flat you would be able to see the mountains rising up in the distance. But since you can't, those mountains must be lower in asl elevation than what you can see. So what can cause that phenomenon?

The Bible doesn't address many areas of science, but it is accurate when it does. For example:
* The universe operates according to rational, natural laws. Job 38:33.
* The earth is suspended in space. Job 26:7.
* The hydrological cycle. Job 36:27,28. Ecclesiastes 1:7. Amos:9:6.
* Geological processes. Psalms 104:6,8.
* Microbiology and infectious disease. Leviticus 11:28, 13:1-5. Deuteonomy 28:13.
Is it disingenuous to say a circle and a sphere are round? Am I being dishonest when I say this?
Given that the Bible was written from 3,500 to 2,000 years ago, long before science could verify any of the above facts, the Bible is amazingly accurate.

If you were take a high powered telescope situated along the Atlantic coast and point it across the ocean, you aren't going to see Europe.

Im sorry but what the hell do you think happens when you travel West from california and go to Asia, also Russia and Alska are like 100 miles away from each other how do you explain that? Do we just flip around to the other side instantaneously or is that just a shitty example of flat earth? There are so many questions

The Earth is curved.

Quantum theory messes that up but quantum theory also disrupts all the traditional laws of physics soooo for the most part the bible did good on that haha

No shite, because there are ships and fog and Ireland and the UK in the middle.

Now that is a undebunkable/provable philosohical theory of flat earth i can get behind. That makes sense and there's nothing you can do to prove or disprove it. Good job sir.

Actually theres a telescope that allows you to see London from NYC.

Yes, a "telectroscope" that sends video images.

I know im just messing around. Being able to see Europe from America would actually be further proof for flat earthers. We would've used infrared to see Europe a long time ago if the earth was flat.

Not the same as a telescope. The most powerful telescope could never see that distance due to the curvature of the earth.

My friend has been living in Colorado for the past 6 months. Obviously a much higher elevation than in South Texas. He told me that he could feel the sun being closer. My girlfriend and I gave each other that look. Unless I see it for myself it will be hard for me to ever concede that the Earth is a ball. Just looking at sun rays I can tell the sun is not 90 million miles away.

You also can’t see the flag on the mooon that we supposedly planted. Wonder why.

Well thanks. But they are actually working on ways to prove/disprove it.
One neat idea I heard was that they're looking for what should be "rounding errors" in the program. For instance, our known laws of things like the conservation of angular momentum doesn't seem to hold up at the macro level. For like galaxies. The outer portions of galaxies should spin at a slower rate than the center but this isn't the case.
Simulation hypothesis supposes that this is a rounding error.
Very intriguing stuff. Simulation hypothesis also seems to be the best model to help explain things like intuition, remote viewing, and magic.
