I get the impression that you feel if you string a bunch of words together, you're clever. However, someone seems to have forgotten to tell you that those words, once strung together, must make some sort of coherent sense.

Amazing how many atheists who claim that God doesn't exist also claim that He talks to him. I guess that's proof that atheism is a form of mental disease, which of course we know is caused by demons.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

since you see the mast before the hull; the earth is therefore obviously in the form of a sphere (oblate spheroid to be more precise).

So according to your logic, if I stand behind a hill and watch someone climb to the top from the opposite site, then the only explanation is that the hill has the form of a sphere. That's just absurd.

When we say "the earth is flat", we don't mean that it's perfectly flat like a mirror: it has bumps and such in it.

But let's not continue with all these observed facts, someone will either call it rude and/or racist (somehow making it false?)

On the contrary, I just refuted your argument on purely logical grounds. You are the one trying to play the race card here.

I am wrong, you tell me? Prove it.

I haven't told you anything. I'm just sitting here in bewildered puzzlement as you are fighting your own shadow, shouting "who's the tough guy now, HUH!!?!"

Your trouble is with God, not with us. You should surrender to God, not to us. And you should read the entire KJV 1611 Bible before making any statement about the Bible. Do your homework and then maybe you'll start making sense.

Just like you're Atheist about most God's that can possibly exist, I just go one God further.

That's a tired old atheist argument and it's illogical.

An atheist, by definition, rejects all deities. A theist, in contrast, follows a deity. A True Christian follows the right deity.

Just because people have imaginary friends does not invalidate God.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

Hello Mr DominoS

As well you should apologize! In this instance, I will aid you in your request out of True Christian compassion and nothing more. INTRODUCTION FORUM

As to your faith in Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior is as just as my faith, love and rejoicing in Him is?.. I doubt it. The proof however is in the preaching and rebuking!

I look forward to seeing your introduction.

YIC

Mrs.P.Wintersnow

Thank you very much. I will try to post a thread there eventually. As for now, I am extremely busy. My family's dog just passed away, and my parents are getting a divorce. In fact, that's why I joined your website. Anywho, I will try to get my introduction posted shortly. For those of you in the United States, happy 4th of July!

How do you know I'm smoking marijuana? Is this another example of transcendental knowledge? :3

No, please don't make the apple I'm describing into a pear, that's usually not how a discussion progresses. You're forming what's usually called a "straw man argument" which I assure you is (in my subjective view) a logical fallacy. It might also be worth noting that my example is an example which assumes the dichotomy of flat versus oblate spheroid when we're on the topic of the general shape of the earth.

I cannot have ill feelings towards something that does not exist, you however (I presume) do exist and you have the ability to affect your surroundings.

Your affection for logical fallacies is what marvels me though, the point is that you're Atheist about any kind of God except one, one which is unique to you (a personal God, since you're an arbitrarily limited human). I'm Atheist about all Gods. While I'm presenting you with Atheism concerning each and every particular God, you're creating another poorly fabricated straw man telling me that Atheism can only be seen in the complete and grand sense.

If you want another logical fallacy on your side you can always try to use Pascal's Wager.

Oh, a mirror is not perfectly flat either. ;3

[...]No, please don't make the apple I'm describing into a pear, that's usually not how a discussion progresses. You're forming what's usually called a "straw man argument" [...] I'm Atheist about all Gods. [...]

So-called atheist 'thinkers' (and I use the term very loosely) are all self deluding idiots.

Everyone of them subscribes to the belief that "We can know nothing for certain, for all we have is our perception."

That being the case, ALL atheists MUST concede the slightest possibility of there being a god.

This in its turn leads to the irrefutable conclusion that atheists actually accept the possibility of the Divine and thus the supernatural powers of a God.

See, son, you think there might be a god too. You're just one step away from accepting Jesus.

My advice, stop smoking the dope - it makes you think you have the answers, only God has them.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

you're Atheist about any kind of God except one,

An atheist is someone who believes in no gods. We believe in the one and only God. The two couldn't be more different, especially since the former is damned, and the latter is Saved(c).

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

Wow that jump theory of yours is one of the funniest things I have ever read!

Apparently you have not heard of anything called relative speed.

So, discredit this if you will: You are standing inside a car travelling at 30 feet per second and you jump. Let us assume that your jump lasts for 1 second just to make it easy. According to your theory, you would then land 30 feet behind the car.


As for the blow theory, you are kind of disproving your own arguement there. The paper falls off the baloon because the earth's gravity is higher than the gravity of the balloon. But that's not the funniest thing actually. You are claiming people in Australia would fall off, as if Australia was on the botton of the sphere, and Alaska on the top of the sphere. How come we can't view, for instance, Boulder, Colorado to be at the very bottom of the sphere. I mean, who are you to say that Australia, relative to the entire universe, is pointing downwards?

Let's say we're standing on a ship on a completely still day in the middle of the ocean, if the earth was flat, we would have unlimited view in all directions right? Why do the ships disappear as they move over the horizon? Why don't they fall off, seeing as the earth is flat and if they go below sea level, the ship must surely be sinking or falling off the edge?

[Cretin]

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

Just want to add in something with the blow theory here: You don't seem to understand the difference between mass and volume. The balloon, relative to it's size, is NOT that much greater in MASS than the tiny piece of paper if you look at it in cubic inch per cubic inch. You see, mass is the WEIGHT of and object, VOLUME is the size. Since the volume of the balloon is made up of 99% air, it will not be lighter than your piece of paper. But you need to understand the difference between MASS and VOLUME to understand this. And sadly, the gravity on earth is much greater than anything you can actually manufacture at home here. Why? Because the objects you are using to manufacture those items are objects already on our planet, so unless you use 5.0000000000001% of the earths material to make something to prove this experiment, the result will always end in a failure. Not really gonna bother explaining the simple physics behind this since you will probably dismiss it as mumbo jumbo.

Well, that's my view anyways, feel free to keep moving backwards towards the dark ages though.

My advice, stop smoking the dope - it makes you think you have the answers, only God has them.

There are some instances where deductive reasoning is very accurate, I'll however inform you this is not one of those cases.

I can honestly (this time) claim that I'm the equivalent of a God/deity. I'm literally omnipotent and I know everything there is to know. I'm omnipotent in the totalitarian subjective sense that anything I think is real IS in fact real - and since I can't know more or less than I know now at the moment, I know everything there is to know.

An atheist is someone who believes in no gods. We believe in the one and only God. The two couldn't be more different, especially since the former is damned, and the latter is Saved©.

You're committing yourself to the same logical fallacy yet again. I'm afraid I've not heard of a decent course for literature-comprehension at this point in life, I can however tell that you're in dire need of such education (amongst all other).

Very well, I'll ignore it this time. A theist is someone who (in a broad sense) believes in at least one deity. So an Atheist is someone who lacks the belief in at least one deity. The point I was making is that I'm Atheist about all deities while you're Atheist about most of them. :3

There is only one God, you idiot.

If I ask you: "Which car are you referring to?", the answer: "There's only one car." is not giving me any additional information since from my point of view there are countless imaginary cars. If you're refusing to lead the discussion anywhere; I don't see any point to your replies other than some disgusting self-satisfaction I assume you're used to.

Ad hominem is also (usually) not acceptable, as a side-note. :3

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

Have no idea how I can edit my posts on this forum, noticed I wrote something wrong there:

"Since the volume of the balloon is made up of 99% air, it will not be lighter than your piece of paper."

It's supposed to be:

Since the volume of the balloon is made up of 99% air, it WILL be lighter than your piece of paper, cubic inch by cubich inc.

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

Mr Critters,

I find it ludicrous that someone would be standing up in a car in the first place. It is not only highly dangerous but also quite an immature and silly thing to do.

Secondly, could you please show some courtesy and read THIS! prior to making any more posts. When you have done that, please head over to the INTRODUCTION FORUM and introduce yourself in a proper manner.

Thank you for your time.

YIC,

Mrs.P.Wintersnow

Re: 3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT

Wether or not you find it ludicrous or "immature and silly" is completely irrelevant to the point here.

If not a car, then try jumping on an airplance travelling 10 times faster. According to the theory, the person jumping will end up several hundred feet behind the plane when he lands.
