    And what causes water to "flow down to the lower point", Alpha? It's ok..... you can say it.
    Yea sure, it is part of the natural physics of water and other fluids to always find their level and remain flat. If disturbed in any way, motion ensues until the flat level is resumed. If dammed up then released, the nature of all liquids is to quickly flood outwards taking the easiest course towards finding its new level.

    “The upper surface of a fluid at rest is a horizontal plane. Because if a part of the surface were higher than the rest, those parts of the fluid which were under it would exert a greater pressure upon the surrounding parts than they receive from them, so that motion would take place amongst the particles and continue until there were none at a higher level than the rest, that is, until the upper surface of the whole mass of fluid became a horizontal plane.” -W.T. Lynn, “First Principles of Natural Philosophy”

    Can you explain how rivers can flow uphill on a globe?

    Rivers run down to sea-level finding the easiest course, North, South, East, West and all other intermediary directions over the Earth at the same time. If Earth were truly a spinning ball then many of these rivers would be impossibly flowing uphill, for example the Mississippi in its 3000 miles would have to ascend 11 miles before reaching the Gulf of Mexico.

    One portion of the Nile River flows for a thousand miles with a fall of only one foot. Parts of the West African Congo, according to the supposed inclination and movement of the ball-Earth, would be sometimes running uphill and sometimes down. This would also be the case for the Parana, Paraguay and other long rivers.

    I'm also still waiting for you to confirm your answer that if the 2 substances weighing the same, were let go at the same time, you said they would both fall, I just wanted to confirm that you believe they would both fall?

    Alpha you just entirely made up things that i am supposedly claiming in order to play pretend again.I never mentioned an ice wall so you obviously don't even understand the very basics of debating. All you have done is admit that actually not only do you believe in gravity but you like everyone else see how it demonstrates itself with water everyday.

    Of course water can curve, waves are motion, and droplets are caused due to surface tension. I have already explained adhesion, cohesion and meniscus. These are properties of water that we understand and can test. That's not the claim of the globe. The claim of the globe is that bodies of water can conform to the exterior of a shape. So where do we observe a body of water conforming to the exterior of a shape in the natural world? Are you trying to claim that a drop of water has the same properties as a body of water? Or that earth is a drop of water?


    You are trying to pretend that everyone else is as thick as pig shit in order to pretend you have an argument.The FACT is that because of gravity, water is pulled towards the centre of the spherical earth. That is precisely why it then fills the troughs and valleys on the surface of this globe. So you are using an argument for a spherical earth to play pretend.Just like the fucking tired old dog whistle to other fearthers

    "Water finds it's own level"


    That is not a scientific principle it is an old adage meaning like attracts like. Next you will be telling is that Sea Level proves the Earth is flat. "The claim of the globe is that bodies of water can conform to the exterior of a shape."
    That has never been the claim of anyone but you and some other very stupid people. Quite the reverse.
