I have more faith the earth is
flat than I do in evolution.

Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track:

"Top Gear"/"The Grand Tour"'s James May drove a Bugatti Veyron on such, hitting 259 MPH on it's 5 mile straight.

His nickname 'Captain Slow' isn't the only thing he destroyed at a stroke: even though that part of the track is absolutely flat in every way imaginable, one can still see the curvature of the Earth.

It's why the main supports of the Humber Bridge are one inch wider at the top than at the bottom, to take that into account: it's that precisely engineered.

The M-777 Howitzer:

Since it's introduction in 2002, it's the most advanced artillery piece in existence.

US Army/Marine gunnery crews - along with info via a forward command post - determine the firing of the 155mm shells using wind speed, air temperature, and curvature of the Earth.

Omission of any of these three factors from their calculations, and it's guaranteed that they'd miss the target.

Moral: Considering the facts, no 'Faith' required.
