Any ideas?
1. God doesn’t know spherical trigonometry.
2. The shape of the earth can’t have more dimensions than I can count
3. On a spherical earth I am nobody. On a flat earth i’d Be visionary
4. I can see for miles and miles and miles
5. I’ve never been to the beach and seen a ship coming up over the horizon.

I think it actually has more. They have to account for gravity, why the sun can't be seen at all times (similarly, why the moon can't be seen at all times), how seasons work, etc. All of that is quite easy to explain with a spherical Earth, not so much with a flat one.
It’s not how much math it has. It’s how much math a wasted 2 years in the elementary school prepares one to understand.
