No true flat earth proponent ever claims that the earth is just a disc in space. The important thing about our model is that the earth

is quite literally the FLOOR of the entire universe, but the shape itself is not what is important. It is the fact that it gets rid of outer space and makes the sun, moon and stars much closer and all contained within the firmament, as Nikola Tesla noted. There is a dome/firmament covering the earth, which technically makes the earth model spherical, but not a sphere we are standing on, but a sphere we are in. And the most important thing about our model is that God is literally right on the other side of the dome. It makes Him much closer. The geocentric flat earth dome model is indeed true, which is why planetariums are shaped this way. This model changes your entire philosophy and worldview. It makes the house of cards fall down; it destroys the big bang, evolution, panspermia (aliens seeding mankind). It moves us from a place of nihilistic indifference (as a mere spec, a pale blue dot) to metaphysical importance.

Well, that has certainly brightened my morning. I do like surreal wit!

So... you have showed beyond all reasonable doubt and none shall question otherwise, that we occupy the bumpy surface (by deep oceans between continents with high mountains) of the solid floor of an Earth-based Universe, revising Aristotle's concept of concentric spheres centred in the Earth.

Ummm.... [i]Awkward Question Time:[/i]

So on what is this floor standing?

Is it infinitely deep?

Or is it a finite disc 8000-miles thick (revising the "diameter" given by the clearly incorrect hypothesis of a spherical planet)?

If a disc, is it resting on something else drifting through infinite Space, perhaps the giant turtles and elephants suggested in the [i]Discworld[/i] novels?

Or simply floating through Space with no visible means of support?

Could we launch a probe that would fly round and return with photographs of its presumably-flat underside, or the giant beasts?
