Correct. But a man who knows he is a fool and throws away anything that opens the way to any kind of knowledge remains a fool.

Eclipses are caused by the sun, which provides the light for the eclipse to happen, and the position of the Earth and moon relative to each other and the sun that causes the visible phenomena. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the moon and sun, and the solar eclipse happens when the moon is between the Earth and sun. A flat Earth simply cannot produce these eclipses.

Yes, I understand that allegation regarding solar eclipses. However, I was not speaking of a solar eclipse, where the moon occludes the sun - this is what you're describing.
I am arguing a different thing. When the moon is between the Earth and the sun, the moon itself has apparently been recorded to show an eclipse (a lunar eclipse, not solar eclipse)!

Isn't that about living in a 2-dimensional world?

I have one question for the flat earthers who demand first hand accounts from us seeing the shape of the world. . .
Do you, perchance, have firsthand experience of seeing the edge of the earth?
Or, better yet; do you have firsthand experience of you or a friend of yours falling off the edge?

Wouldn't the earth have to be two dimensional in order to fall off the edge?

I have a little different perspective on this subject than many of the flat earthers.
Here it is...
The flat earth debate is not about arguing for a two dimensional planet, that would be rather silly.
This subject fascinates me because of the spiritual component that the flat earth idea adds to my understanding of how things work on a cosmic scale.
It seems what gives the earth it's round shape is not the shape of the ground portion but rather the magnetic field.
This is the same concept we have for our own bodies.
Our bodies are not two dimensional but in relation to the magnetic field that surrounds us it can be described as flat.

Yes!

There's speculation that the universe is flat. But I don't see how that could be possible since it would imply that we live in a 2-dimensional world.

I agree with this. Each part contains the whole.
"Flat" can have a different meaning in cosmology.
But it's above my pay grade to explain it well.

Agreed. It apparently does not mean 2-dimensional, because space is 3-dimensional.

Excellent!
These are the principles that primarily govern my understanding of myself and the world around me.
They are of course the 7 Hermetic principles.
It is through an understanding of these principles and knowledge of a holographic universe that made me take a second look at the flat earth idea.
There is undoubtedly a lot of nonsense being thrown around on both sides.
There is however, (once one begins to sift through it all) somethings that drew my attention.
One of which is the magnetic field that is common to both us and the earth.
Thinking about this similarity the shape of us and the shape of the earth all of a sudden became very similar to me.
Applying the principle of correspondence "as above, so below", i began to think that maybe some of this had some merit.
People can say i am crazy all they please, it is nothing new to me.
I am always stretching my boundaries, and learning new and higher truths as a result.

wait a minute, i don't wanna waste my time reading 18 pages of discussion: are there really people pretending to tell the earth is flat?

They are not pretending. Some of them actually believe the Earth is flat, you know... like a Frisbee.

so all the pictures taken from space at different angles are all fake?
the thing that scares me most about a certain kind of believers is that when they're confronted and they're asked to choose between their faith and reality they always reject reality. a similar mindset can lead you to all sort of bad things if exploited
