If the Earth is flat…

If the Earth is flat, then how can you explain Lunar Eclipses? The Earth casts a curved shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse, easily indicating the earth is a spherical shape. Please prove me wrong, nice and polite, thanks! 😊

Lunar eclipses are non-sequitur to the geometry of the Earth's surface. There is no "if;" all measurements of the surface of Earth without exception will demonstrate it to be a topographical plane. Level water is measured flat and horizontal. This is how Earth is observed and practically used by everyone.

This is a begging the question fallacy, because you're assuming that the darker area of the moon during a lunar eclipse is caused by the Earth's shadow. Asking for someone to prove your claim wrong instead of providing evidence for it is a shifting the burden of proof fallacy. Nobody knows what the moon is, and there is no scientific evidence of what causes a lunar eclipse.

A spherical shape produces a sine wave or basically whats similar to a Pepsi symbol when a shadow is cast on it. This doesnt happen in reality. Therfore not matching a sphere. Furthermore we have a selenolian eclipse, dubbed the impossible eclipse by globe earthers as it again doesn't match their belief system. So A) i present these contradictory to your globe facts and then B) i remind you that eclipses are non sequitur to flat earth. C) i remind you that youre begging the question when you invoke your explanations for eclipses.
