This should be rich, scientifically prove to me the earth is round or admit your only justification for your belief is leaning on borrowed authority.
I don't even believe the earth is really flat; I'm just tired of this disgusting secular religion masquerading as science, because I rather like science.
First, the onus is on you to disprove the current understanding. But, I'll play your game.
If the Earth weren't flat, you couldn't circumnavigate it. If the Earth weren't flat, gravity would exert less force near the edges and things like satellites wouldn't work. Does your GPS work? If so, the planet is certainly not flat.
This sounds like fun. Have you personally circumnavigated the globe or have you just been told someone has? Even if you have how can you be positive that it wasn't just a wide circle?
I've circumnavigated the globe multiple times and I can be sure because I actually know how maps work. However, I don't have to do that. My GPS works and I can see things like an eclipse. I can see tidal effects and measure the force of gravity to see that it is very, very much alike - no matter where I go.
I have complete confidence that the planet isn't flat.

Probably not, they don't believe in the scientific method.

It's not round, either. It is an oblate spheroid.

not saying I believe in flat earth, but eclipses are questionable. even for round earthers. I would say that a good point
