There's loads of proof.There's no proof today so trying to argue they knew it was a ball since the 1500's is pretty futile. By all means argue for it but know you are arguing by appealing to authority and have no means to verify a truth.
People have been into space and seen the planet. They've taken pictures of it and videos of it. We've seen it pictured from satellites and space probes. We've seen it pictured from the moon.
Your comeback to that will be it is all faked. Your reasons why it is faked hold no water though. You're using guesswork to suit your argument. You're the one with the futile argument.
You say nobody can prove the earth is a globe but you can't prove anything you say either. Whereas there is plenty proof we are all on a giant ball. You don't accept that proof though, everybody is lying. So this discussion is pointless.
There are countless pictures and film of the planet and they all look exactly the same, it's s ball. Can you show one, just one taken from space or a great height that shows its the shape you say it is? One picture will do.
