Can a scientific theory ever change?
All the time. Whenever new evidence doesn't fit the model it has to be changed.
Has the earth ever been flat?
No.
Why is the globe the most accurate representation of earth?
It is not the most accurate but it is close enough for general use. The Earth is not a perfect sphere. But a globe is better than a flat map because the Earth is not flat. If you map only covers a very small part of the Earth then a flat map is usually good enough but if the map is to portray countries and continents then if it remains flat it will distort either distances or areas or angles.
Who is the scientists responsible for the flat earth theory?
There is no legitimate scientist responsible for promoting the flat earth theory. The idea of a flat earth has been widely discredited by centuries of scientific evidence and research.
what theory says the earth is a flat shape?
In the bible, it says the Earth is Flat, so it is Flat. If God created the Earth and Jesus wrote the bible, the Earth is Flat
Flat earth theory do the stars move?
Yes
What are the different theories about the shape of the earth?
The main theories about the shape of the Earth are the spherical Earth theory, which posits that the Earth is a sphere, and the flat Earth theory, which incorrectly suggests that the Earth is flat. The spherical Earth theory is supported by scientific evidence such as images of the Earth from space and the way ships disappear over the horizon.

What are the different theories regarding the shape of the earth?
The main theories regarding the shape of the Earth are the oblate spheroid theory, which posits the Earth is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles due to its rotation; the geoid theory, which describes the Earth as an irregular shape that approximates global mean sea level; and the flat Earth theory, a debunked belief that the Earth is flat and not a sphere.
What do you think of the flat earther theory?
The flat earth theory has been debunked by centuries of scientific evidence, from simple observations like seeing ships disappear bottom-first over the horizon to the more complex principles of physics. Believing in a flat earth goes against a vast body of knowledge and evidence supporting the spherical shape of our planet.
Which astronomer believed the Earth was flat?
One prominent figure who believed in a flat Earth was Samuel Rowbotham, who wrote under the pseudonym "Parallax." He proposed the theory of "Zetetic Astronomy" in the 19th century, arguing that Earth is a flat disc with the North Pole at the center and Antarctica forming the ice wall around the edge.
