Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

If you think that Wikipedia is a reliable source of information.... think again.

That I why I gave you more than one source. Here's some more:

I was expecting an argument that the word "theory" meant something else in science.

It does.

How is that different from the common/"unscientific" definition?

It's the observation of that certain situation which has confirmed it to be accepted as the truth. It is not final and what is accepted as a fact in science may be modified in the future.

"An observation that has been confirmed repeatedly and is accepted as true."

You really are severely retarded.

You're very friendly.

Even when shown 'absolute proof' using your own 'evidence' you still deny the readily apparent.

Throughout this thread I have given you all the evidence you need to show you the Earth is spherical, not round. You've edit the picture I've given you showing me, where you believe the Earth edge is. It can be clearly seen in the picture the Earth isn't flat, to which I have given reasons for (want links - I can give to you). Every time I raise the question, where is the edge, how do I get to the edge, you always ignore it because you don't have the answer to it.

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

There is a deceitful program called Photoshop, which I believe to be the work of the devil!!!! I've never really pondered the earth and planets to be flat or spherical, I've heard both and just assumed it was spherical until my arrival here on LBC. This has been a true GOD SEND, I have made this into a PowerPoint and showed my Pastor and he was so moved he is planning on showing it next month, along with a sermon he is working on. You see, everything that we are told, that is not by God or His word, is a lie. They lie to bury the truth, if the world was to find out the earth was truly flat and the bible states so, they would all KNOW God exists! They keep lies around to hold back God and His word, to keep them brainwashed to do as our government pleases. We have a Republican party that is trying to tell the world these things!

The eart is truly flat, much research says so. As for sailing "around" the world, I can walk AROUND in a circle, so have I walked around a sphere? No, I would've fell and landed on my head! DUH! So they are correct, they sail around our FLAT CIRCLE!

Believe my friend, trust in GOD!

That photo was taken in 1972. There was no Photoshop then. Photoshop didn't come out until 1990

Photoshopped has become a synonym for fake picture these days. However, fake pictures and saying that picture lies more than thousand words are pretty much as old as photography itself.

If the Earth is flat, how does the atmosphere work?

I've visited those places, but I haven't seen any evidence - just more assumptions. BTW, did you know that ancient Babylonians were able to predict future solar eclipses, while working with a flat earth model?

It's the observation of that certain situation which has confirmed it to be accepted as the truth. It is not final and what is accepted as a fact in science may be modified in the future.

Now I'm really confused. In the first sentence of that website that you provided about the discussion of facts and theories, it says: "facts usually remain the same and theories often change." and a little bit later, "This is the part of science which will be the same a century from now." So which one is it? Should I believe you or your sources?

Every time I raise the question, where is the edge, how do I get to the edge, you always ignore it because you don't have the answer to it.

Because we are not here to convince you - we don't care what you think - but apparently you want to convince us, so where's the evidence?

We still should be able to fall off. But, oh, wait, we can't.

No you haven't.
But you don't know that

Agrippa's Trilemma

Foundationalism is justified…on the grounds that some set of…basic propositions must exist, or else the process of justification will always lead to Agrippa's Trilemma [resulting in] either
. .• an infinite regress,
. .• a dogmatic stopping point, or
. .• a circular argument,
none of which are logically valid.

Agrippa's Trilemma argues that all of the three possible attempts to obtain a certain justification must necessarily fail:
. .1 All justifications of certain knowledge have also to justify the means of their justification and in doing so they have to justify
. . .anew the means of their justification (an infinite regress).
. .2 One can use a circular argument to justify knowledge, but this then sacrifices its validity.
. .3 One can stop at self-evidence or common sense or fundamental principles, etc, but in doing so the justification will not be certain.

We've seen spheres aligned of course, everyone has! Here's three:



Christians do not worship the moon.
Christians are not stuck in an horrible pit.

Psalm 40
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
KJV . . . LOOK UP . . CONTEXT

Notice in particular the first verse (verse 2): HE brought me up. Not we have lifted ourselves up.

Christians do not respect lies.

But you can. Tell you what. You go to the South Pole and walk to the edge. Come back and tell us we were wrong. Provide photos of the entire trip.
