[quote:Anonymous Coward 80406901:MV80OTYzNTI2XzkwNzcyMTU0X0YxNzk5QkY5] [quote:Mr.X1989:MV80OTYzNTI2XzkwNzcyMDYwX0RDRkI2NjE0] I never looked much into flat earth but never thought it wasn't something possible. One question I have is, how do seasons occur if the earth is not rotating around the sun? [/quote] back when I was 21-22... I assumed that seasons were caused my the elliptical orbit... but thats not true as Australia will have summer when we have winter. Google informed me, that it was the angle of the suns rays... I bought it. However, the flat earth model of seasons actually makes way more sense. So, picture the flat earth, the tropic of capricorn (south) and tropic of cancer (north) and the equator in the middle. The sun moves along these lines, this is why the equator experiences hot temperatures, its in the middle... so when Australia is having summer, the sun is rotating on the tropic of capricorn but the equator is still getting alot of sun and the tropic of cancer, is furthest. Then when the equator is getting the most sun, tropic of cancer is experiencing spring, and Australia fall, as the sun will move into the tropic of cancer soon, leaving Australia and the south furthest, and the Equator still getting a decent amount of sun. IDK if i explained that well or not. Another thing to note tho, why is Antarctica so guarded? You cant go to Antarctica. its illegal and the navy and airforce will prevent you. [/quote]

Besides the usual, "obviously its a sphere, idiot" rhetoric. Let's discuss the merits of both models, using actual evidence and counter evidence.
Im perfectly fine to believe either, as long as it is the truth.
First and foremost, all supposed pictures of the Earth of space, are admittedly (by those that created the images) photoshopped. Lets start here and see where we go.
