    Well it is pretty much the same as having faith in things you cannot see.

    The bible talks about the earth being round so I beleive the bible and the astronauts who said the earth was round.

    The concept of a spherical Earth dates back to ancient Greek philosophy from around the 6th century BC. It's not a modern idea; it just fell out of favour in the renaissance period. The simplest proof out there is the shape of the shadow the earth throws on the moon, as shown in the linked wiki article.

    Well we are just stating the facts which disprove the theory of that the earth is flat. Isn't that the point of this thread?
