You can not refute flat Earth to flat-earthers because these people just invent stuff that does not exist to "verify" their beliefs. Like you said:

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
I refute nonsense for a good reason: If we don't then only their version is available to the fence-sitters.
At work I just listen to the nonsense and keep quiet. In retail, I actually never heard nonsense like I do from those in the medical field.

I was surprised that in SC, most microbiologists I've met are also Creationists....
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Anyone who is ‘on the fence’ about the shape of the Earth is already lost. It is so grindingly, creakingly, crushingly obvious what the shape of this planet is that anyone who says, ‘Gee, I’m still not sure’ is ready to consider arguments that ducks are made of cheese. Boru

Young people who are hearing this for the first time would be helped by a rational version of that bullshit.
It's said that many flat-earthers are just trolling. If so, the point of persuasion diminishes significantly.
