Yes it started as flat earth. When the big Bang took place, parts of solar nuclear energy scattered around ( possibly in a plane.) and earth was one of them. that nuclear reacting energy travel led a long distance and at that time it was only gas generated by nuclear fission. Slowly other matters also emerged. The last form was the solid which should have formed on one side of the moving earth just like the soap bubble. the mass clustered and suddenly separated to form the moon . this separation made earth to stop moving away from sun and made moon to rotate the earth. At that time. The so called earth was a flat surface around a gaseous globe. because of the rotation the flat surface started covering the globe. That is how the continents formed. The collision of land even created Grand Canyon in America. So the earth's land is formed more from inside along with the water also. Slowly, Oxygen was generated. There are rocks on the shores of Australia which are similar to those which produced oxygen in the early years. Then life came. By the time the earth became like a ball - A globe.; with a core still undergoing the enormous heat and reaction that is carried from the original source.

No, it's round, and there are a bunch of ways to prove it. If you watch a tall ship sailing away, you'll see the bottom disappear first and then the top last, and if you see it return, you'll see the top come over the horizon first, followed by the bottom. Nowadays, you can look at satellite photos if you want proof of the world's roundness.

It depends on how you look at it. The world as a whole has a generally round shape, but if you take one point on the surface of the world, it could be considered flat given tangential plane that intersects that point. I also understand that the poles are "flatter" than the rest of the world because of the spinning motion of our orbit.

Though a small area appears flat actually its curved, with a large radii and like a sphere in shape.

Not all of it. My bit is fairly flat. Most of it is an oblongular spheroid.
