@operahoser, Okay might be true - But lets say you have 3 Rocks in space that are very hot and close to being fluent, force of gravity will make them collapse to something that is kinda round.. first two Rocks will connect then the third will follow and try to align according to the center of Mass which then due to the high tempurature gets kinda round, cools down and is a globe. how would you explain Earth being flat using the laws of gravity ?
