Even more important; There are rivers that flow for hundreds of miles towards the level of the sea without falling more than a few feet — notably, the Nile, which, in a thousand miles, falls but a foot. A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth's convexity. It is, therefore, a reasonable proof that Earth is not a globe.

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

its been previously stated that bible has been proven to be fact and that gravity is a myth and has not been proven by science now where exactly has it been shown that the bible is fact other then by you people, i would like a credible source other then the landover baptist church that says that the bible is fact i would also like a credible scientific source that says gravity is indeed a myth and can not be proven by other then you people with your simple minded "experiments"

@nogodbutanime

Gravity is garbage. It was only invented by people who falsely claimed the Earth was a sphere, so as to cover up the fact that people would otherwise fall off.

If you take a sphere of jello, it will collapse into a flat circle. If there were gravity, the Earth would become flat - therefore even inventing gravity confirms the Earth MUST be flat.

Happy Christmas, sinner.

dear sir or madam,

if the earth is truly flat, how does one account for the shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse

it is clear that from these pictures the earth has to be a plane tilted to a perfect 90 degree angle, or the much more rational idea that it actually a sphere. thank you

Lunar eclipses are just signs that the apocalypse is near.

LOL, it's funny how he tries to use the lunar eclipse argument to prove the Earth is a sphere, but he just ends up proving the Bible is even more true with the Revelation quote* you provided.

There's nothing in a lunar eclipse that shows the Earth is a sphere. Indeed there is a circular shadow across the moon, and indeed that shadow is caused by the Earth but we've been saying all along that the Earth is round....round like a coin.

And since we know the moon already revolves around the Earth (a fact that even your secular scientists admit) a simpler explanation is that the moon is at a 90 degree angle to the Earth to create the shadow, not the Earth moving. Occam's razor dictates this to be true.

*Incidentally, that Revelation quote also bolsters your argument that stars are not millions of light years away. For the stars to fall to the Earth, they have to be relatively close by and also be smaller than the Earth.

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

uhhhhhhhhhhh your math sucks.

for one, its not r2 its r^2. and r is in meters.

F = G M m / r^2

divide both sides by little m

F/m = a = G M / r^2

M is in kg, and r is in meters.

btw 62.5 is only tree times as much as 20 N/kg or m/s^2

Nice try, I went to public school in Canada, and although my US counterparts may not know much about the metric system I know quite well that M is not the same as kg. That would be like saying that miles is in pounds.

Metres are a distance measurement
Kg are a weight measurement

Don't lie to us again.

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

If the earth is not round, how do you explain why things sink below the horizon.

Believeringod- M and m both stand for mass (mass of 2 objects), not meters. in science d or x is usually used as a variable to denote distance. and mass is an intrinsic property, it can be in metric of english system, as long as all your other variables are in tha system too.

Pastor- if the world is flat like a coin how can it be simultaneously turning to create night and day, and still be shadowing the moon exactly for many hours. In fact, how do we get night and day if it is flat. a flat world would have drastically different forms of night and day. basically "everywhere acts like the equator" and "total darkness" with no real dawn or dusk. finally... why does a round world conflict with christianity

Because real Christians accept the Bible as the 100% true and literal word of the All-Knowing God.

Does the bible litterally says 'the earth is flat' or 'the earth is not round'?

Because alot of religious people who reads the bible says the bible tells us a round earth.

That's an optical illusion. Of course the ships don't actually sink into the water. This picture explains it.


I will let the others deal with the rest of your rambling.

And by the way, if it were so easy to prove the earth is a globe, then why didn't people do it until now? Put your money where your mouth is, pal.

Do tell us where it says the earth is a sphere.

how does one account for the fact that lunar eclipses are cyclical and predicted years in advance, and their are at least two every year? also who here likes pulp fiction....

HOW does light bend like that. Light can be refracted at sharp angles or bent in a powerful gravity field, but its not gonna just bend just to suit the "fact" that the earth is flat. Essentially you are saying that, at a distance, light behaves in a manner different from what we measure up close.

And the majority of the world has had it proved to their satisfaction... if you only use the Bible as your source then you cant prove anything except that the Bible says what it says. The Bible has no method of studying the behavior of light, therefore we can only use methods humans develop to study problems in this field.

It seems to be a common fallacy here that science is a conspiracy created to refute the Bible. Scientific discovery is based peeling back the layers of a system. We start with what we can see, and peel back layers until we are at the atomic level. No one just "created" the atom, they used reproducible results that can only be explained with a certain set of circumstances. If particles of known weight are fired at a piece of gold with w velocity, the particles come out with x amount of kinetic energy. Well that implies that single particles of y mass must have absorbed some of that energy during the collision, and from that we can determine the atomic weight of a gold nucleus. THAT is how science works.

None of your electronics would work if scientists didnt understand much the behavior of particles at a very precise level. God doesn't make your computer work, a technician at Intel does. Light just doesn't bend without high gravity, and everything we have ever observed about light over centuries of study bears this out.

HOW does light bend like that. Light can be refracted at sharp angles or bent in a powerful gravity field, but its not gonna just bend just to suit the "fact" that the earth is flat.

You're confused with diffraction. Refraction happens due to the fact that the density of the medium through which light travels changes along its path. Light does not travel in a vacuum but through air. And as we know, the density of air changes over larger distances and heights. It's really optics 101.

That's why, for example, they place telescopes in higher places so there are fewer problems with atmospheric turbulence.

Essentially you are saying that, at a distance, light behaves in a manner different from what we measure up close.

No, but over a large distance, you will notice that the medium will induce more of an effect to the point that it's noticeable, particularly when the height of the observer becomes negligible compares to the distance. You can try to replicate this effect to a degree by placing your eyes on the same level as the surface of a table.

Conversely, what you are saying is that a ship is submerged to suit the "fact" that the earth is spherical. Occam's Razor would suggest that you're simply making stuff up as you go along. The ship does NOT sink. Therefore, it must be an optical illusion as I explained above.

And the majority of the world has had it proved to their satisfaction...

That fallacy is called "argumentum ad populum" -- just because a lot of people believe in something does not automatically make it true.

Do you, for instance, believe in the afterlife? The majority of the world does. Therefore, by your logic, so should you.

The Bible has no method of studying the behavior of light, therefore we can only use methods humans develop to study problems in this field.

And those humans have studied and explained the sinking ship illusion. We all know ships don't just sink and come back unharmed. Therefore, it's only an illusion.
