Reminds me of a joke Abraham Lincoln used to tell. "Say a dog has six legs. And say we take away two. How many are left? Why, two, of course, because it doesn't matter what you say, a dog has four legs."

But that doesn't answer your question. Your question is, "Suppose we say that our Earth, the third planet from the sun in our solar system, this oblate spheroid hurtling through space at approximately 18.5 miles per second, is flat. What then?" I would say, it doesn't matter what you say, the earth is round. Well, oblately spherical, to be precise.
