Is the Earth flat?

This position catalogues the flat-Earth claim that the planet is flat, not a globe. Its arguments rest on the horizon appearing level and on scriptural readings of a flat, stationary Earth. The view contradicts overwhelming scientific evidence that the Earth is a sphere.

This position holds that the Earth is not flat but round, as the evidence shows. It points to the classic proofs: the round shadow the Earth casts in lunar eclipses, ships vanishing hull-first over the horizon, and different constellations being visible from different latitudes.
