I'm seeing questions on this subject on this website today (mainly in religion and spirituality), so I'd like to understand their theories.
1) If the earth is flat instead of a sphere, how can you go from the eastern edge to the far western edge in a straight line without going back through the other continents?
2)If all earth was on the top, how come there is no evidence of the bottom side of our planet?
3) What about all other planets and bodies, are they also flat?
4) How would you prevent the top side from overheating? Not all parts of this planet are in daylight at one time, so if the sun were to disappear to the "bottom" side, there would have to be times when the entire populated side would be dark. To my knowledge there is no time that the entire planet is dark.
I'm not trying to criticize, but I sure would like the answers to these questions.

Just so the readers know, I seriously doubt the plausibility of a Flat Earth.

People believe that? I'll come up with something--I'm a pretty good BSer.
1 & 2: It is like a moibus strip, so the edges wrap like a video game.
3: Of course.
4: The sun revolves around the earth, so the sun isn't out at night. Because it is a moibus strip, there is not another side.

The flat earth is where all the creationists should move to.
