First of all- let me say that I do indeed believe the earth is a sphere. However I enjoy a good debate. There is a satellite in orbit of the sun about 900,000 miles from earth, so it essentially always shows the earth in daylight.

Those pictures have clouds photoshopped on. (You can tell if you cycle through the photos as they use the same cloud formations over and over.) I get that it makes a better visual, but why is the only non-photoshopped picture of the earth the one taken by Apollo 17 on their way back from the moon? I like seeing the shots from the ISS where the earth is really just a backdrop to what is going on with the spacewalk.

That's my problem. Sure- flat earth is full of holes and flaws in logic. But point out those flaws and why they are wrong.
