How did Copernicus prove that the earth wasn't in the middle of the universe?
Galileo did not prove that Earth was not flat (It had already been agreed that it was round). Galileo invented the telescope and used it to prove that there were objects which did not orbit the Earth, supporting Copernicus' Heliocentric model for the universe. The Earth was known to be round by the ancient Greeks, but I do not who it found out initially (sorry).
Who founded the earth is round?
The idea of a round Earth appears to have originated in Greek Philosophy. Aristotle provided the first evidence of a round Earth, noting that explorers traveling south saw southern constellations rise higher above the horizon and that Earth cast a round shadow on the moon. Eratosthenes used the angle of sunlight at different latitudes to estimate Earth's circumference with surprising accuracy.
If the earth is round why does it seem?
Even though the earth is round, or more specifically, spherical, it seems flat to the human eye. This is because the earth is so huge that when we look at it we can't take in all of the horizon because we are so close. If we were viewing the earth from the moon, we would clearly be able to see it is spherical.

Why is boat at sea evidence for a round earth?
A boat at sea, alone, does not prove that is earth is round. However, boats can be used to prove that earth is round. This is because if the earth was flat, eventually a boat would sail to the end of earth and fall off the edge. This has never happened, so it can be inferred that the earth is round. Also, a boat can sail all the way around the world and end up right where it started, which proves that the earth is round.
