Re: Flat Earth? Hell Yes!

If you can show us where it says the earth is round in the Holy Bible, then we can call it "case closed."

I'm not sure why you'd expect us to take the rantings of a self-confessed retard over the Word of God.

Disclose the information on how I am a self-confessed retard? I are the reason my name is retardo. If thats what you're referencing to, get back in the kitchen and make your boyfriend some more waffles you fag.

Now, onto the subject of the earth being round.

Back in the time when Jesus was alive, they had not the technology to prove the earth was round, and what was god to accomplish by telling the habitants of the earth that it was. It's one of gods many surprises he had in store for mankind, he wanted to see the delight on our faces when we discovered the earth was round, I mean the big man up there has to have a little enjoyment right? Cause hes got you liars prancing on his earth spreading false tales and misinterpreting the bible.

Mind if i interject?

Well rather, i dont care if you mind or not, im going to do so regardless.


The earth is round. Here is proof.


From a reliable source: http://www.physlink.com/education/askexperts/ae535.cfm

these are a few conclusions that undeniably prove the earth is round, and this argument can be ended.

Point Numero Uno (thats number one for you dumb twits):
One of the oldest proofs of the Earth's shape, however, can be seen from the ground and occurs during every lunar eclipse. The geometry of a lunar eclipse has been known since ancient Greece. When a full Moon occurs in the plane of Earth's orbit, the Moon slowly moves through Earth's shadow. Every time that shadow is seen, its edge is round. Once again, the only solid that always projects a round shadow is a sphere.

Point Number Two:
Further proof of the Earth being round came after the voyage of Columbus. When Newton discovered and measured the force of gravity, that number could then be tested anywhere the theory was known. Since the force of gravity is roughly the same everywhere on the globe, it could be surmised that the Earth must be spherical. If the Earth were not round, whole hemispheres would have different atmospheric pressure and significantly different sea levels. Also, pictures taken of the Earth in the last 50 years have proved absolutely conclusively that the Earth is round. These are just the arguments that don't require much physics knowledge to explain, there are others that are more technical, but I think that the simplest arguments are the best.

But if you're not convinced, read on...

You can also observe, with binoculars, ships slowly 'sinking' below the horizon as it sails farther and farther out to the ocean, then watch them come back. They certainly didn't fall off the edge of the earth! You can also sail or fly around the world.

Also, keep in mind the 24 hour time zones. When it is noon in Hawaii, it is approximately midnight in the Middle East and vice versa. How can it be noon and midnight simultaneously? It is certainly impossible with a flat earth and a sun millions of times more massive.


I rest my case, this thread can now be labeled solved, with the conclusion being the earth is in fact round.

Re: Flat Earth? Hell Yes!

Oh so your english. That still doesn't explain how you can see the mast of a ship before the hull, You haven't seen it so you can't disprove it until you go the a beach and see it for yourself.

Gravity Lensing. Gravity bends light to that's why the mast is visible before the hull. If the earth was round the light would bend to the curvature of the earth so both the mast and hull would be visible.

You really need to keep up with physics Link.

Are you implying that you have seen a masted ship?

And no I'm not "english". I'm an American.

Re: Flat Earth? Hell Yes!

I didn't answer before because its so apparent, just because something has a horizen doesn't mean that it is spherical. Duh!

*sigh* Thank you brainiac. I have been so misinformed up until this point when you were able to come and rescue me like a saviour in the night from my own stupidity

I believe that I specifically stated that it was a CURVED horizen, you twit. The points closer to your undoubtedly ugly face when compared to the point furthest from your face give the illusion of a curve just as the earth does (since the earth is on a bigger scale it's simply more noticeable).

Re: Flat Earth? Hell Yes!

No but as i said earlier, If you see the mast of a ship first that means that the surface its sailing on is spherical. End of.

You know, in all honesty I've never seen the mast of a ship before the hull and I am very skeptical that you have either (who the hell uses ships with masts anymore!?!) so you should probably stop with the "if you see the mast first" nonsense.

Also, that is not an answer to the problem I posed to you earlier. Have you not responded to it because your devil-worshipping, public school science teacher never brain washed you with an answer? It's time to put up or shut up.

Re: Flat Earth? Hell Yes!

You don't need to, you can see it with your eyes.

All you have to do is go to a port or a beach and see for youself.

Since you're such an expert on the subject why don't you explain this one to me then: if I take a dinner plate and hold it level with my eyes I can see a curved "horizon" on the plate just like the kind you are eluding to with your beach post. Are you now going to tell me that the plate is round too?

Re: Flat Earth? Hell Yes!

If you are willing to believe that the Earth isn't round, then you are living in another century probably.

So you think the Earth used to be flat, then it became round?

Look at all the pictures of the earth they have made, are you telling me that everyone one of them is photoshopped?

Which sounds easier: spending 10 minutes messing around with photoshop, or some guy getting a camera, flying up into space, taking a few snaps, then flying back? Have you ever flown up into space to take pictures of the Earth, friend?
