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.

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