That would be quite a long drop brother. Remind me to stay away from those edges.

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

Ok here is my challenge to the round earth thought police; you will convince me the world is round if you can furnish a picture of the earth taken from the side. You all show me pictures take of the earth from the front. Well how about the side? Since your scientists have all those satellites "orbiting" the earth this should be no problem.

Well what about it?

now to clarify, since the earth is a sphere there is no sides, (at all angles it will look like a circle, but we can tell that we are looking at a picture from a different angle, by observing the different locations of the continents.

in this you can see africa, and antartica

in this one you can see europe, north and south america, the arctic, and africa.

antartica, and australia, and a bit of asia.


another thing you can use to see the curve of a spherical earth is the distortions in the shape of the continents.

think like the words on a tennis ball, when not looking directly at them the leters get distorted and cut off.

like so.
just in case you can't image what im talking about.

see how the word penn is not fully visible on the tennis ball, and the 1 is not visible at all.
in a picture you cannot acuratly represent 3-dimensions, but by studing the location of land mases (or in the case of the tennis ball, words) you can se that an object or planet is sperical in nature.

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

Brother Alex
The pictures you have shown are all fakes the First one Is taken from a travel agency Ad, The second is a painting note its not a photo believe it or not we can paint from imagination. The third in a pretty photo shop which to have taken you must be standing off the edge of the edge of the world
, Same goes for the last one which you probably which you might recognise from a film ( pirates of the Caribbean)

The earth is a sphere
pic just to remind you
otherwise we would be in darkness for half the year day and night would not work
why is it that when you move on the earth then the stars change
IN space there is no up or down gravity pulls you to the centre of the sphere

Why do you think some fabricated images are convincing anyone?

Does this picture prove Earth is actually a cube?

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

Does this picture prove Earth is actually a cube?

well, first the pictures that pierrot and i showed are not fabricated, they are legitamit, valid images of the globe. also i took a look at one of the pictures brother alex posted to show where the edges of the world would be.
this one.
i'd simply like to point out somthing. since when was australia bigger than asia?

second, no that image does not prove that the earth is a cube because it is an rubik cube with a map on it. and even if it were a picture of a cubed earth, we would still be asking were the corners and edges are.

What makes you so sure which pictures are real and which pictures are fake? It seems to me you are just assuming, but you never actually investigated for yourself.

How do you know it isn't?

and even if it were a picture of a cubed earth, we would still be asking were the corners and edges are.

No, we wold not need to ask that since a cube always has eight corners and twelve edges. Who taught you math, friend?

Isaiah 40:22:
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

What Isaiah actually describes here is as follows (note: this is a link to a video where a True Christian Scientist™ debunks a false Christian interpretation of this passage):

This is a brilliant explanation. Amen, brother.

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

I have a question though. Where do you go if you fall off the earth? What's beyond even the most distant star?

[Steven E]

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

What makes you so sure which pictures are real and which pictures are fake? It seems to me you are just assuming, but you never actually investigated for yourself.

i can tell that my pictures are legitamit because the images we have shown you are satillite images of the world, the pictures you and brother alex have shown are clearly photoshopped.

and yes i have investigated for myself. and i cannot find any logic in the world being flat, it doesn't make sence for many different reasons.
but i'd like to ask you another couple questions.
if the edges of the earth are protected by an ice wall (antartica), than how come there is no ice in any of the pictures of the "end of the earth"?
also i would like you to tell me what the names and locations of the cities in these two pictures that brother alex showed.

and


this is how i can tell my photos are legitamit, your pictures contradict each other, mine do not.

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

How do you know it isn't?

No, we wold not need to ask that since a cube always has eight corners and twelve edges. Who taught you math, friend?

because it is a geological fact that asia is bigger than australia.
ASIA: 44,579,000 sq km (17,212,000 sq mi)
AUSTRALIA: 7,617,930 sq km (2,941,299 sq mi)
in fact asia is the biggest continent and australia is the smallest.
who taught you geography?

what i ment by "asking were the edges and corners would be" was not mathimaticaly where they are, but where are they on the globe, how come no one can find them anywhere in the world. that is why a sphere makes the most sence, no corners, no edges.

Those are the lies that the idiot scientists tell you. Don't believe everything you read.

What i meant by "asking were the edges and corners would be" was not mathematically where they are, but where are they on the globe, how come no one can find them anywhere in the world. That is why a sphere makes the most sense, no corners, no edges.

You're just using circular logic here. The Bible is very specific about the earth being flat. Why do you hate Jesus so much?

Jeremiah 16:19: O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

Isaiah 40:22: It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Plus, if the world was a sphere then why don't the people at the bottom just fall off?

First off, it is not a lie. It is a geological FACT that asia is bigger than australia. Please proove to me that asia is smaller than australia, then you can say it's a lie.

Second, please explain how that statement was in any way circular logic, because if you say that that is circular logic you don't have a very firm grasp on what circular logic is, which is kind of ironic because it is the main component in 90% of creationist arguments.

Third, GRAVITY. Gravity pulls towards the center of the earth. this makes the direction "down" reletive to were you are standing.

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

Why do you not prove it the other way around? Just calling something a "geological FACT" does not seem to prove anything. Let me demonstrate how that works: It is a geological FACT that you are wrong and we are right.

which is kind of ironic

I assure you no one here is laughing.

Third, GRAVITY. Gravity pulls towards the center of the earth. this makes the direction "down" reletive to were you are standing.

Gravity is just a theory. There is no scientific model properly explaining gravity. Billions of tax payers dollars are wasted on a huge donut in Switzerland which might find the Higgs-boson particle which might explain gravity. In the meantime gravity is just unfounded nonsense.

I only follow the Word of God™ so why should I believe some idiot geologists?

Prove to me that Australia is smaller than Asia and back up your claims with scripture. Then I might consider believing you.

Second, please explain how that statement was in any way circular logic, because if you say that that is circular logic you don't have a very firm grasp on what circular logic is, which is kind of ironic because it is the main component in 90% of creationist arguments.

Your statements are not logical in any way since you can't back them up with scripture. The Bible is always right when it comes to science while the monkey worshipers base all their theories on their own wicked fantasies.

2 Timothy 3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Atheist Logic = Circular Logic.

Third, GRAVITY. Gravity pulls towards the center of the earth. this makes the direction "down" reletive to were you are standing.

The concept of gravity is just a stupid fantasy the monkey worshipers use to back up their round earth theory. It can't be backed up with scripture and therefore has no place within the fields of real science whatsoever.
