Sad, futile cop-out--and false.
Seriously, the claim that the earth is round is, to your mind, not relevant to the claim that the earth is flat? Who started this thread?

And, what did [MENTION=4980]DFT_Dave[/MENTION] write, in his thread-starting post?
See that? Right there, at the beginning of this thread that DFT_Dave (and neither you, nor Clete) started, DFT_Dave challenges Clete's and your dogma that the earth is round. Right there, he claims that the earth is not round--that it is not "globed". Do you wish to pretend to think that that's not what DFT_Dave was claiming? Do you wish to pretend to think that DFT_Dave was not denying that the earth is round?
When you say "the discussion was on...", to what are you referring, if not this thread? Y'all keep imperiously demanding those who won't take Clete's word for it that the world is not flat to "read the thread"; well, that's rank hypocrisy, inasmuch as you obviously did not even read DFT_Dave's thread-starting post. DFT_Dave was not merely attacking Clete's and your dogma that the earth is, as you say, "NOT FLAT"; no, he was going all the way, and attacking your dogma that the earth is round.
So, yeah, the discussion was, among other things, on whether the earth is round. Yet, where has Professor Clete been?
Here, Clete even appears to be boasting in claiming that he has "never claimed to have proven" the very proposition which DFT_Dave, in the thread-starting post, claimed to be false, viz., Clete's very own, cherished dogma that the earth is round. It's rather funny, when you think about it: on the one hand, Clete is proud of himself for going about saying "I have proven that the earth is not flat", and, on the other hand, Clete is equally proud of himself for going about saying "I have never claimed to have proven that the Earth is round." Clete, here, is proud of himself in being able to confess that he has never once stood up to DFT_Dave's challenge to Clete's round-earth dogma, not one single time.
Ever.
So, no. The question has not gone away at all: WHY has Clete "never claimed to have proven that the Earth is round"? The question has, on the contrary, been aggravated; it is in the light of the fact that the claim that the earth is round has been (from at least the first post of this very thread) challenged that Clete says he has "never claimed to have proven that the Earth is round".
I stop by this forum periodically, I like your post, the wry humor is refreshing. What this looooong thread really reveals is how otherwise sane and relatively intelligent people, could buy into Old Testament history written by the same kind of men who tried to destroy the Son of God. And yes, its clearly a thread about weather or not the planet is flat. LOL!
