Many of you know the US and Russia both had many communications stations around the world during the Moon race. The russians could easily aim two of their antennae at our signals from the Apollo 11 Lunar landing on the moon to figure out the yes those signals intersect with our antennae at an angle that puts the source about 240,000 miles away right in line with the Moon. The British and other countries with antennae around the world could do this also.
As someone on this thread mentioned, if the triangulation didnt measure correctly we know the Soviets would have been screaming to high heaven with their evidence. But it did.
If a flat-Earther looks that the very famous picture taken by Voyager 1, the picture from about 7 million miles from Earth that is the first ever picture to capture both the Earth and the Moon in the same frame, and they do not see the terminator line where sunlight and darkness meet on their surfaces as curved showing their spherical shape then you can tell them they are stupid and insane.
Also, for proof, you may know that the Greek philosopher Eratosthenes used different lengths of shadows cast at different places on Earth about 2200 years ago to really accurately measure the circumference of the Earth. He showed that the Earth is not flat because the shadows in Greece, the Nile Delta, and much farther south on the Nile had different angles. A flat Earth would have shadows at the same angle.
What logic would you use, what arguments? I have mine but I will save them for awhile before I put them here as I want to hear your ideas first.
And what are some other crazy notions that people ascribe to and believe?
