Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

God can create whatever He wants, there is nothing impossible for Him. Even a circle with four corners.

Now please hop to the introduction forum and create an introduction thread, so we can get to know you better. Please do follow the directions!

Thanks! Sorry again

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

Plus, there is a wonderful experiment that called the Bedford Level Experiment

Just because a part of Bedford has a slight rise in it, proves nothing. We agree there are hills and mountains - we're not stupid you know!

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

Okay, wow. Take a plane trip and see the world is round. gravity is NOT a downwards force. Gravity works by the MASS of a large object attracting smaller objects towards it. That is why the Earth revolves around the Sun. The sun is so big it's mass (not size but the weight of the object) Is 99% of the entire solar system. (the other 1% are from planets and asteroids) because of it's massive mass, it keeps the planets from flying off forever into space. The planets are constantly moving, and the Sun is constantly pulling them towards itself. As a result they spin in elliptical orbits.

Why did people think the earth was flat 1500 years ago, when your fairytale book was written? Because very little of the world had been explored. No one knew what was over that mountain range, or when, if ever, the ocean ended. 1500 years ago people could barely read or write, let alone make accurate world maps.

Please read the entire thread. It has been shown, repeatedly, that the experiences of one person sitting in an airplane cannot be used to prove the shape of the Earth.

...gravity is NOT a downwards force...

Uh, yes, it is. In fact, that's how down is defined.

...Gravity works by the MASS of a large object attracting smaller objects towards it...

That's how it behaves, not how it works, which we still don't know (something to do with Higgs fields and bosons is the latest theory).

...Why did people think the earth was flat 1500 years ago, when your fairytale book was written? Because very little of the world had been explored...

Really? You mean that when people from Europe went all over and found people already there (natives, etc.) that there weren't people already there? If people were already there, then "there" had already been explored (usually thousands of years previously)... Oh but you mean it hadn't been explored by modern Europeans, so it doesn't count. That's make you a, what's the word I'm looking for, oh yeah, RACIST.

...1500 years ago people could barely read or write...

There are examples of written language from everywhere in the world (except Australia and Antarctica) from further back than that.

Go read a history book before you spread more BS, k?

Be careful dear, that's how it starts. Satan tricks people by making logic and rationality appealing to the senses. We know, however, that logic and rationality are distractions from the Will of God, and is naught but a sure path to the very pits of Hell.

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

You're right to rebuke me, Sister. I was only referring to parts of that particular post, though, specifically this:

Please read the entire thread. It has been shown, repeatedly, that the experiences of one person sitting in an airplane cannot be used to prove the shape of the Earth.

His general ravings are quite another matter!

I shall endeavor to make myself clearer in future.

If you take a plane journey from the west coast of america cross the Pacific Ocean to Japan (All the "world is flat" maps show America on the west, Japan on the east and nothing connecting them) that is proof the world is round. Take a round the world trip in a plane and you will travel the circumference of the globe, returning to the starting point, thus proving that one person sitting on an airplane CAN prove the Earth is round.

Uh, yes, it is. In fact, that's how down is defined.

Uh no. Gravity is a force of attraction, down is only the direction we give it, because that is the direction it pulls us. In space gravity keeps planets and other celestial bodies in orbit, if it was only a downwards force then everything would be pulled to the bottom of the universe, and be resting on something.

That's how it behaves, not how it works, which we still don't know (something to do with Higgs fields and bosons is the latest theory).

The larger the Mass the more it has an effect on gravity. That IS how it works. We don't know why it does, but we do know that it works and that is what the effects are.

Really? You mean that when people from Europe went all over and found people already there (natives, etc.) that there weren't people already there? If people were already there, then "there" had already been explored (usually thousands of years previously)... Oh but you mean it hadn't been explored by modern Europeans, so it doesn't count. That's make you a, what's the word I'm looking for, oh yeah, RACIST.

The people from the bible knew of Africa, Europe and some of Asia, yes there were people all over the world by this point. But, the people that wrote the old testament were not well traveled. The Romans that wrote the New Testament knew more of the world, but not all of it. Just because there are people there does not mean that the people who, let me make this clear, WROTE THE BIBLE had ever been there or explored the world. So, how could they have known the world was as big as it really is? You said it yourself. "You mean that when people from Europe went all over and found people already there" I am talking about the people who wrote the bible, not the European explorers. I did not say no one existed because they were not discovered. I said the Bible writers did not know the whole world.

There are examples of written language from everywhere in the world (except Australia and Antarctica) from further back than that.

Just because there are examples of written word, or pictograms does not mean everyone at the time could read and write. That privilege was reserved for scholars and nobles. Your average joe in the street were not so fortunate.

Seems like you are the one that needs to pick up some history text, and a few science books too, pal.

Oh and I am in no way a racist. The people here are racist. Even though, by the skin colour of those living in Israel and surrounding areas, Jesus HAD to be either black, or brown in colour. No one in that region is white, unless they traveled there, from a great distance.

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

If you take a plane journey from the west coast of america...

Ok, so you've ignored my suggestion to READ THE WHOLE THREAD (which would have been the polite thing to do in the first place, so you know what has already been covered and DON'T WASTE OTHER PEOPLE'S TIME BECAUSE YOU'RE SUCH A LAZY FUCKWIT).

You are SO important that everyone else should go out of their way, and spend THEIR time to dig up the answers for your questions (which have been there all along just waiting for you to get off your fat ass and read them)?

Here's the answer to your first question:



The others are answered in this thread. I have better stuff to do right now.

Please go back and read all of this thread before making assumptions which are not supported by enough data.

Uh no. Gravity is a force of attraction, down is only the direction we give it, because that is the direction it pulls us. In space gravity keeps planets and other celestial bodies in orbit, if it was only a downwards force then everything would be pulled to the bottom of the universe, and be resting on something.

Wouldn't that mean that there was a gravity source on the bottom of the universe?

It doesn't matter, since the Bible was written by people inspired by God, who knows everything

The Romans that wrote the New Testament knew more of the world, but not all of it.

Ekhm, who did write what? I'll assume for your sake that by "Romans" you mean "people who lived within the borders of the Roman Empire."

I said the Bible writers did not know the whole world.

And I tell you, it doesn't matter because the Word of God is perfect and timeless.

Oh and I am in no way a racist. The people here are racist. Even though, by the skin colour of those living in Israel and surrounding areas, Jesus HAD to be either black, or brown in colour. No one in that region is white, unless they traveled there, from a great distance.

Jesus is God, not a Jew. That means He can be any color He wants.

More likely he means Matteo, Marco, Luca and Gianni, who wrote it in Eyetalian!

Re: Scientific proof the Earth is flat!

Wow! Ok so I have to share the story of my recent experience.

So after reading a number of posts, I have recently become convinced that the Earth is flat. The pictures that were posted in the Original Post also helped quite a bit. I actually found the city of the photoshopped ad picture in the OP - it is Palmdale, California, right off of Avenue S, you see exactly those types of buildings, and just as I was about to say, ok no such thing - there it was the edge of the freaken Earth!

I was like how was this kept from us for so long? A local scientist explained to me that it was a cover up by the military (Edwards Air Force base is about 80 miles, but that's like 80 feet in terms of distance for an airplane). The reason we have all been told that the Earth is flat is so that we don't escape to other nearby planets (lightyears are also a lie) which are always looking for more people (as is our planet) so that it can subjugate the Domain (the Universe, but it is just a domain of planets).

The stars that we see in the sky are spaceships in search of more people; that's what UFO's are as well - abductions and all that. This is why the planets' orbits above have irregular orbits with respect to our sky. The reason the NWO government of this world is split up into so many different governments is to keep everyone distracted with wars, nationalism, and all that similarly to George Orwell's 1984 which had the people constantly distracted with wars to prevent them from questioning the regime.

I managed to hoist a cable across the edge of our world to one of the nearby worlds. I found a clone of the scientist that was helping me - it was his long lost twin. The people in the nearby world are called Moltavians. They look just like us, but their government has told them the truth about the universe. However, our New World Order (NWO) government hides the truth and shoots down the visitors who dare to enter our planet from the side.

By the way, Columbus was an Incan from South America. This explains why Pizarro had TWO NATIVES with him who spoke the Inca language (Quechuan) and Spanish when he took over Atahualpa's regime. Think about it. These guys here on this forum know what they're talking about. The reason that Cortez and Pizarro were considered non-human was because the Natives had visited our world from some nearby one, possibly Moltavia. Proof of this is the fact that the Incas had ships that were almost as big as those of Columbus (William Marder, Indians in the Americas: the Untold Story, p.23), yet they never invented the wheel, nor journeyed east to nearby West Africa? How does that make sense unless they were just a colony for the Western Moltavia?

I have more proof that the Incas came from the Western edge of our Flat World:

Father Cabello de Balboa, who came to Peru in 1566, provided additional evidence of the Incas visiting islands across the Pacific before the appearance of the Spanish. He questioned surviving Inca historians. He was told by them that two or three generations before the arrival of Pizarro, the Inca King Tupac Yupanqui "...had embarked a whole army upon a vast number of rafts and sailed away from the coast. On the return of the flotilla to Peru, the Inca and his captains claimed to have visited two inhabited islands far out in the ocean." (William Marder, Indians in the Americas: the Untold Story, p.23)

You explain to me how that is possible and how the people on this forum claiming that the Earth is flat are in any way shape or form wrong. Thank you

Hey Giovanni!



I usually don't read huge posts from newbies since they are generally about emo stuff and dog rape, but I decided to read yours and I'm glad I did. It was fascinating!



However, the vast majority of it seemed to be based on hearsay, innuendo, second-hand info and (let's face it) psychotropic drugs. NONE of it appeared to have a Scriptural basis at all.



So, who should I believe? A hopped-up "scientist" living in Mexico with the Inkers, or the Lord and Creator of the entire universe?

Decisions decisions!
