Which of these are real, which are CGI? Are they all the same earth?

Some of them look like cheap CGI, the more realistic ones seem like they suffer from barrel distortion thanks to wide angle fish eye lenses creating the "ball".

Some of those, actually a lot of those, do look fake no doubt about it. But I've seen plenty that assures me the Earth is a globe.
For the photos that are real, I can understand why human beings would want the picture of their earth to look the best it can. For books, magazines, text books, ads, etc etc. Doesn't bother me.

IIRC, and I may remember wrong, is that your belief that the Earth is flat'ish is for different reasons no?
More that it can't be verified with the naked eye? At least for us non-astronauts?

Well, I give everyone the benefit of doubt as you know - so if that's what they want to believe I'm not going to stop them or try to convince them otherwise. It is probably one of the more interesting topics I've ever run into in OTC. I just have never interacted with anyone that was "pro flat" before

I ask because of the "if that's what they want to believe I'm not going to stop them or try to convince them otherwise".
I'm just curious how far that line reaches.

he's a fool, down to the last drop, just as proverbs describes.
the kind of man scripture regularly warns against.

I see where you are going with that. No I don't believe that men and women can trade their sex like that. To me, it is more of a mental health issue.
That said, I don't think believing the Earth is flat is going to mutilate our teen and young adult population or screw up their physiology with drugs.

Right, I understand the distinction for sure.I see where you are going with that. No I don't believe that men and women can trade their sex like that. To me, it is more of a mental health issue.

Was just replying about "people believing what they want".
I think it's safe to say a man who thinks he's a woman is in sin and has mental health issues for sure.
Where you and I may differ, is I would put anyone thinking the earth is flat in the same camp. Specifically with regard to mental health issues.

Well, the First Amendment kind of gives them that right. Honestly, I don't care what people do with their bodies and shit just don't stick in my face and tell me I have to understand it. Or help pay for it. Right?
