I am skeptical of a sphere shaped earth based on the data I ve studied over the past few years. That being said I am also not fully behind the idea that the earth is flat. Usually people use the ship theory that we have a horizon. Couldn t we prove the earth is flat using a highly magnified telescope to prove that...

but absolutely the earth is a sphere

Alexander say: Actually there are a lot of proofs of spherical form of the planet. Almost any natural space object is spherical. Have you observed the Moon or the Sun? Photos taken by satellites and astronauts from orbit also prove that, as well as lunar eclipses. Circumnavigations would be not possible if this idea was wrong. Wikipedia has historical account of the question:

Brigalow Bloke say: Never mind the horizons, How about you navigate a ship from Vancouver to Sydney on the assumption that the Earth is flat? Use your flat Earth map to find the "correct" direction and find out where you end up. You will probably miss Australia entirely.

Joe say: Dude...
It doesn't take that much of a telescope.
You won't believe anyone else, so do it yourself. Set up your telescope on a dock, and watch a ship slowly drop below the horizon as it sails away. Better yet, get on a ship yourself, and watch the city lights drop below the horizon as you sail away.
That's the thing about science: experiments are repeatable, and it works the same for everybody.
