Re: Ridiculous make-believe pictures

Yeah, that sounds about right. You sure are intelligent, Mrs. Rogers. If I ever were to meet you, I would love to try some intelligent thrusting with you.

So let's illustrate this:



This is your proposed route, with all your intelligent thrusting and pulling. Now, we're going to assume that on that map of the flat earth, continents are the same size they are on a spherical earth model. We're also going to assume that this flight is being made on a very popular Boeing 747-400.

We shall fly from Seattle, Washington to New York City, New York.

Seattle is located approximately 5532 km from the edge of the earth ((47.61 degrees/360 degrees)*R) where R is the mean radius of the earth). That gets us to the edge, where you say we start to fly along the edge of the earth.

The circumference of the flat earth is approximately 40074.78 km, and the path the plane would take around the circumference of the earth is, conservatively, 35% of that, equal to 14,026 km.

By the time we get back on course, aiming straight at New York City, we have travelled over 19,000 km. The maximum flight range of a Boeing 747-400 is 13,450 km.

Now, since Boeing 747s have made a West-Coast to East-Coast flight around the world before, this is proof that there is no way your intelligent pushing and thrusting can be true.

Unless you want to tell me that God reaches down and carries the plane the last 10,000 km so that it can save on fuel.

Re: Ridiculous make-believe pictures

You're not really flying in a straight line. When the airplane reaches the edge of the disc, Intelligent Pulling takes effect; the airplane travels around the edge of the disc, until it is parallel with the destination coast. This is when Intelligent Thrusting occurs, and the airplane is flung towards said destination coast.

Intelligent Pulling and Thrusting are dissimilar to Intelligent Falling, insofar as Intelligent Falling is easily felt. Pulling and Thrusting are subtle warps in God's Aerospace; the very fabric of space is manipulated in such a delicate manner that you do not realize the airplane is traveling along a curved path, because it feels as if you are flying in a straight line.

Hope that helps, dear.

Allow me to say I've never seen a woman displaying so much intellectual understanding and Creation Scientific knowledge. Great teachings, mrs. Rogers.

Re: Ridiculous make-believe pictures

Now explain, using that picture, how I can board an airplane on either coast and, flying directly away from America and in a straight line, I can end up back in America on the opposite coast after a long flight.

Re: Ridiculous make-believe pictures

OK. Now do you accept Jesus as your personal Savior?

Re: Ridiculous make-believe pictures

To add; I hope you have no problems with me questioning your beliefs as such. I place my knowledge of the physical world in the hands of science, and thus have answers to respond to any questions asked of me about the physical world. If you have a similarly strong belief in the physical world's questions being answered by scripture and religion, you should be able to counter my arguments not only with scripture and religion, but with concrete examples of their validity in the physical world.

Re: Ridiculous make-believe pictures

The other side of Antarctica? Yes, that seems about right.


Antarctica is too vast to photograph properly. You'd need a camera the size of the moon!

That's one end, sure. Where else? If the Earth is flat, it must have more than one end, for no other two-dimensional shape has only one end.

A circle only has one edge, yes, but it does end eventually no matter what direction you travel in.

Questions, questions! And so very few related to Salvation(tm) Why not visit HERE, there are some scientists who have proven the case time and again

Re: Ridiculous make-believe pictures

I meant picture as in an illustration, a drawn or painted or digitally created image, rather than a photograph. I assume you all know what photographs are? And don't say that a photograph is a digitally created image because they are taken on digital cameras, because I'm sure you know the difference between a digital photo and a picture I draw on Microsoft Paint.

Secondly, if the Earth is flat and has definite end points, how is that someone from the West Coast of North America can fly west and reach Japan, yet someone on the East Coast can fly east and also reach Japan? Is the end of the earth somewhere between New York City and Los Angeles?

Dude... we should stop trying. We're putting too much effort into it, they're brainswashed from when they were burn, can't be changed anymore

Re: Ridiculous make-believe pictures

That doesn't answer my question... WHERE does it end like near Australia, at the Atlantic see... give me a specific location please,

The other side of Antarctica? Yes, that seems about right.

and what would be even better would be a REAL picture showing it, rather than some random drawing.

Re: Ridiculous make-believe pictures

It is "at the ends of the earth".

Edit: Isaiah 40:22
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;

Re: Ridiculous make-believe pictures

It's a picture, not a photograph.

And have none of you been on air planes? If the Earth were flat, there would be no horizon when you look out the window.

Can you explain the difference between a picure and a photograph?

Also what do you think one would see if not for the horizon?
