Yes gravity bends light, but the object has to be very dense to cause light to bend, and the earth is not dense dense enough to cause light to bend in on itself to create eternal daylight.

Now if we go off the pretense that the earth is flat, how do you explain gravity? and if it's by the whole gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, then if you fell off one side of a flat earth, wouldn't you just end up on the other side?

also if the earth is flat, then why can't cartographers create a to-scale replica of the earth on a piece of paper?

I would like to know what you think.

That means that the length of one arc second of a circle exactly equals 1/3,888,000th of the circle's diameter. Got it.

This is very simple to understand--when it is daytime in Australia it is nighttime in the UK. As you correctly pointed out, day and night (created on the first day, Genesis 1:5) existed before the Sun existed (created on the fourth day, Genesis 1:14). God made the sun to rule over the daytime, so of course you can't see it at night. You generally only see the Moon at night for the same reason (God set it to rule the night). The fact that sometimes you can see the Moon in daytime is proof that light is bent by the Earth’s gravity.

How do you know that world isn’t really all dark, except for the parts where God removed the dark, which are now light? I don’t have time to go into the quantum physics involved (you can read about it here), but trust me, there is no difference in the equations between a dark world with light and a light world with darkness.

(1) We are not Mormons.

(2) Because there are waves and hills between you and the ship. The farther away the ship is, the higher the highest wave or hill in between will be, as a matter of probability. It's more likely there's a 20 foot wave--enough to block your view of the hull, but not of the mast, of most ships--between you and a ship hundreds of miles offshore than between you and a ship only one mile offshore, so you're more likely to see the hull of a nearby ship than of one that is far off. An intervening wave will block your view of the entire ship long before a ship reaches the falls at the edge of the world.

(3) It does disappear if it falls off the edge, but that's a long, long way away.

Have you guys gone up in a plane? you can actually see the curviture of the earth.
That is an optical illusion. If you do the calculations, you’ll see that the apparent curvature of the Earth is completely explained by the tendency of the Earth’s gravity to bend light from far away more than it bends light from a nearby source.


This is all explained in Dr. Ernest Ville’s excellent fourteen volume monograph, Creation Science: Convergence of Evidence and Faith.

Ridiculous. The English language was created at the Tower of Babel, just like all other languages. God sometimes reused parts from one language to fill in blanks in another, leading to coincidences like this:


See Genesis 11:9: Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

(Confound means that there are overlaps.) Assuming your puerile story is true, which I highly doubt.

Who's the bigger retard, the retard who argues an idea, or the retard who feels compelled to jump into an argument that he believes is retarded to tell everyone else how retarded they are? However, I agree with you, the debate has been settled, and the Earth is unequivocally flat.

Quote:

Because the Jews who control the publishing industry won't let them print a realistic atlas.

The proof of a flat Earth by maps is easy enough--take roadmap map and carefully cut it into smaller pieces. When you put the pieces back together, they will fit together perfectly. If the Earth were spherical, the pieces of these small maps couldn't possibly fit together (since the map is flat, but we're assuming that the Earth is spherical). So the Earth can't be spherical.

So, a couple of questions, i know answers may be repeated, but please answer them

if the earth is flat, where is the end of the earth?

if it's at the horizon then what if there is land up to the point of the horizon?

if there is a set edge of the world, do you know where it is and how much room around the known world does it give?

i just need some clarification.

so upon reading about the flat earth theory, i would like to pose another question to the Pastors of the Landover Baptist Chruch. are these beliefs an accurate representation of your own? or do your's differ in some respects?

But your explanation doesn't make sense. It is more logical to presume that the universe has always existed rather than some magic, supernatural force outside space and time suddenly decided to create it.

This is a picture of photons being emitted in a coherent beam from a laser.

The laws of thermodynamics suggest that there is in fact no point of creation and that the universe has always existed. Before you try and say that this idea is stupid, do not forget that you believe God has always existed.

Quote:
How do you know that world isn’t really all dark, except for the parts where God removed the dark, which are now light?
When I hook a lightbulb up to an electrical circuit and switch the circuit on, provided there are no faults in the circuit and there is an adequate power source connected, the light bulb will light up. That is not God creating light, that is the light bulb creating light. When I remove the power source, the light will turn off.
If I build a brick house with no windows and go inside, it will be dark. When I open the door, and it is light outside, light will come in. Nothing has changed except the door's position. God did not change it, I did.
It is more logical just to accept that the sun casts light. The sun is made of gas going through continous reactions. We can observe gas going through a reaction and producing light by looking at fire. Can we look at God producing light? Can we go up to heaven and find god playing with his giant flashlight? Of course not.

Where exactly is the edge of the world? Has anyone ever seen it? Do you know anyone who has fallen over the edge?
I have seen it. In a Disney film.

How can we prove the Earth is round? Simple logic, maths and of course going into space and actually looking at it. When Mars comes enough close to Earth, we are able to see it with the naked eye and it is round. Mars is a planet, just as Earth is. When you look through a telescope, you can see the other planets, which are also round. You can claim optical illusions all you want, but we can observe with our own eyes that light simply does not bend enough to create an illusion of that magnitude.

Well if I cut up a piece of paper then it will all fit back together and be flat too. A roadmap is just like the net of a cube. Put it together and it becomes a cube, but unravel it and it looks 2D.

This is a picture of photons being emitted in a coherent beam from a laser.
No, that's just a goth dancing in a techno club. We weren't born yesterday, you know!

Well if I cut up a piece of paper then it will all fit back together and be flat too. A roadmap is just like the net of a cube. Put it together and it becomes a cube, but unravel it and it looks 2D.

So you're saying the earth is a cube now?


O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.


God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

That's a very clever way of looking at that picture .
But no, its a member of the US army doing an experiment. you know the UD army right? The ones that travelled to the otherside of the world to fight in the middle-east. Oh wait, they should have fallen over the edge. My bad.

It was an analogy. You know what an analogy is right? If not, look it up.
