Lunar eclipses always show a round shadow regardless of whether it happens at dusk, dawn or midnight, and the only way it could show a round shadow every time is to be spherical. Otherwise at least one of them would be an ellipse (assuming the flat earth was a disk).
That would imply that you'd have to cross the edge to get to the dark side, and no such edge is found.
Again, if the earth was a disk and had people living on both sides to account for day and night at the same time, the people on the bottom would be left behind.

FALSE! The Rapture hasn't happened yet.
Checkmate, Flat Earth deniers!
