If you climb a mountain, or fly very high in a plane, you won't be able to see forever. Don't believe me? Try it. Next time you are in a plane, look out the window, and tell me what the great wall of China looks like from a mile above the Grand Canyon.

A piece of paper won't stick to the bottom of a balloon, because the balloon is already within a field of gravity, "EARTH." The earth has SO MUCH MASS, and it's not even the largest planet in the SOLAR SYSTEM. It has the perfect level of gravity because God placed it in the perfect spot in the solar system, close enough to the sun to stay warm, but not too far that it will freeze.
The Moon rotates around the Earth, which rotates on it's own axis, while simultaneously rotating around the sun, along with all of the other planets.
This constant spinning creates an invisible force, pushing down against all of the things on earth, but not too much. This force is called Gravity. The Gravitational force of the Moon, along with the Mass of the Earth, forms the perfect balance for us, and keeps everything from flying off into space.

Gravity is has a push AND pull effect to it, with the Moon pushing, and the Earth pulling, this means that people below the equator won't simply "fall off".
Also, in space, there is no up or down, which also helps my case.

And I suppose you read all that in some stupid book written by men?

Meanwhile, in the perfect word of God, which was written by men who were inspired by God Himself (who ought to know how the Earth was made) the Earth is flat. This silly equator heresy will get you sent to Hell.

2 Peter 1:20,21
20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

If you would take the trouble to read the entire thread, you would find that all your questions have been answered.

What??? Why would it mean that?

This experiment is doomed to failure as cars don't fly.

No I could not. That is like saying I could take a balloon to the moon in June and swoon.

I don't own a rocket so the rest of you post is moot.

Well done.

Beardy ginger git Richard Branson owns a rocket - whoops, I mean owned one. He tried to take it into what this fool calls "space", or rather he hired some dumb rocket-driver to do it. That ended well, didn't it?

I was going to point out that very thing! The conspiratorial scientists were able to pull the wool over peoples eyes with the faked moon landing, but now that people are talking about sending civilian non-actors into space, the conspirators are having to bustle to wreck rockets in order to make people think it is too dangerous to risk.

These idiots always look so silly when their "science" books get proved wrong by God's Creation and they bang into the Firmament.

But for those of you skeptical, close-minded types that flat out refuse to accept the overwhelming Biblical evidence, I have designed some experiments you can do at home that will show you, before your very eyes, that the world is indeed flat, and not spherical as some crazy scientists proclaim. It's amazing how many people blindly believe in a spherical Earth, without ever having seen it for themselves! I intend to change that.


1) Jump!
Now, scientists claim that Earth is spherical and rotating at a speed of between 700-1000 miles per hour, depending on your latitude. This is a very high rate of speed. You can disprove this nonsense by simply jumping up as high as you can. Really, it's that simple. What happens when you jump? You come straight down to where you were. But, if the Earth were indeed spinning at such a fast speed, wouldn't you land hundreds of feet away?

If you were to stand in the flat bed of a truck going 75 mph, and jump straight up, what would happen? You wouldn't fall straight down. You would fall out of the truck. That's because trucks move, the Earth doesn't. This experiment proves the Earth is fixed in space and doesn't move.


2) Blow!
Since if the Earth is supposedly a sphere, it naturally comes to assume what would happen to people below the equator, like in Australia? Since they are underneath the sphere, wouldn't they fall off? This is where scientists come up with mumbo-jumbo like "gravity" and "centrifugal force" to explain away their theories. So, the scientists want you to think that because the earth is so much more massive than people or things, that people will naturally "stick" to the bottom of the earth because of gravity.

This can be disproved very simply. Get a balloon and inflate it as big as possible. It will be a spherical shape. Now, take a piece of paper and try to rip, tear, or cut the tiniest speck of paper possible. This paper represents a human being, much smaller in mass to the balloon, which represents the Earth. Now try and place the small piece of paper to the underside of the balloon. What happens? It falls off!

That's right. Even though the balloon is so much bigger in mass, it cannot hold the tiny paper. So if the Earth was a sphere, no one could live below the equator because they would fall off.


3) Get High!
Ok, this one you really can't do at home, but you can do it out in the world. Stand on the ground and look around you. What's the farthest you can see? Maybe it's a building, tree, or mountain. Now, find some place very close to it where you can get a much higher vantage point. (This also works if you're on a jet and about to take off.) Notice how in the higher place you can see much farther? You can see more of the world the higher you get. This shows the world is flat because the higher you go, the easier it is to see over obstacles. At the same time, it shows the world cannot be spherical. Because if the world was curved, the far distance would forever remain out of view because of the Earth's curvature. It would eternally be over the horizon.

If the Earth was a sphere, it would not matter how high you went, you would still see the same thing. Since this is not the case, the Earth is flat.


These experiments are all confirmed by creation scientists as being 100% accurate. If you're skeptical of the flat Earth, why don't you do these experiments so you can see truth with your own eyes.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Jim Osborne

i find a flaw in the first experement, like say you were on a plane or a train moving very fast, when you jump you don't get blown back, its called the law of relativity

Are you saying that the Earth is on a plane or train? Why not introduce yourself in the introduction forum?

Hello xlbeutel.

Are you a marsupial the German word for marsupial is beuteltier that means bag animal God does not talk about them in the Bible even though He made them.

Thank you.

Hey man, shouldn't you be like introducing your self first before you babble your nonsense here?

[Dr Laurence Niles]

So in your so called secular world it would be safe to stand on a plane's wing and jump up and down?

uh no i was saying that the earth is moving very fast so does a train but so when you are on a train you dont get blown back acording to science the earth is moving fast around the sun and when you jump you dont get blown back

Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.

The Earth is an oblate spheroid. It is not a cube, pyramid, or even freaking flat.

It also can't be hollow, or else the magnetic field of the earth will be lost and we'd get rekt by solar rays.

How do we know this? Gravity pushes the stuff of the Earth into a sphere. The earth's gravity is too strong to let you fly off just by jumping. The earth's rotation makes it an oblate spheroid instead of a sphere.

Also, if you go off longitude 180, you don't fall off the Earth.

The four corners would be the north pole, the south pole, the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian, and the intersection of the equator and longitude 180.

Also, here's a video of why the Earth is not flat.

Wait, what? I thought spheres did not have corners, that they were, you know, rounded?



Besides, aren't the longitude divisions a bit too random/arbitrary (in other words: made up) to be considered "corners" of anything?

Yeah, but your God said there were four corners.
