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

Here's a little parable you'll all enjoy;
'A proud mother went to watch her son, who had just joined the army, parade for the first time. As she watched his regiment marched past, all in perfect step with each other, except for her son who was marching half a step behind all the others, "oh look", she said, "my boy is the only soldier in step!"'

Just a little tale about biased and unquestioning faith for you to think about. Take from it what you will.

PS I'm getting a bit dissapointed guys, I haven't had any infractions for ages!!!!

I take from it his mother was delusional and her son was a poor soldier.

Maybe the kid was a gimp, are you making fun of cripples now? If so I have some great jokes about retards and cripples.

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

Yes!!!! That's exactly the point, mr Creeser. The mother loves her son so much that she cannot admit that he's the one that's wrong and everyone else is right. But the sad truth is that her son is a bad soldier and she is delusional.
Its a great metaphor, You love your god so much that you cannot ever possibly admit that your god, or the writings about him could ever be wrong, even when the rest of the world is shouting the obvious at you.

Are you comparing God to a simple squaddie now? Why do you hate God so much? There really seems to be no saving you.

And God did too, so, you're out-voted. Case Closed.

Except you are wrong. You can have a list of contradictions in the bible right here. http://www.infidels.org/library/mode...adictions.html

I have no problems with the idea of there being a god. What I have a problem with is a someone making obviously false statements when proof was placed right in front of them moments earlier.

What are you babbling on about now. There are no contradictions in the Bible

And If you think that we will fall for the trick of renaming a interweb site so you can shock us with Homer erotic pornographies, think again! Sure we fell for it 15 or 20 times, not ever again!

Sense you are afraid of going to the website I will provide you with some of the examples it gives. (Although I have done so before and has proven to be a waste of my time because the members of this forum are either to unintelligent or lazy to read.)

• The bible on war or peace
  • EXO 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
  • ROM 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
  
  

• The bible on good deeds
  • Matt 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
  • Matt 6:3-4 "But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
  
  
• The lord on judgement
  • 1 Cor 2:15 "The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:"
  • 1 Cor 4:5 "Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God."
  
  
• Do you answer a fool?
  • PRO 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
  • PRO 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit
  
  
• Can god be seen?
  • God CAN be seen:
    "And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my backparts." (EXO 33:23)
    "And the Lord spake to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend." (EXO 33:11)
    "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." (GEN 32:30)
  • God CANNOT be seen:
    "No man hath seen God at any time." (JOH 1:18)
    "And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for there shall no man see me and live." (EXO 33:20)
    "Whom no man hath seen nor can see." (1TIM 6:16)
  
  

I don't believe I need to continue quoting a book you all claim to have read.

Five star general Dwight D. Eisenhower was a man of war. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a president of peace. See how they are not contradictory? Same with your two verses. I deleted the other examples because I don't have the patience to deal with your ignorance. You trump up non examples of contradiction.

No you don't have to continue quoting because you don't understand what you are quoting. Try concentrating on reading more of the 1611 King James Bible instead of challenging True Christians(tm) here. We know infinitely more than Unsaved Trash concerning things Biblical.

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

Hello, Louise here.

I have a question regarding this, which I don't understand. Please don't get me wrong or get angry.

The reason why we don't move is called Conservation of Momentum and is based on objects in motion tend to stay in motion. So when you throw and apple while on a bus up into the air you will catch it again, as it moves at the same speed of the bus.

This is a trick you can do on a bus. This is provable, as you can do it on a bus.

The same theory goes with the earth. As we move with the same speed (though we don't notice it) we land in the same place. I suppose if you jumped HIGH enough not to be affected...


Someone mentioned that if the earth's round, then why doesn't water fall out.
It's not our atmosphere that's keeping in the water, as such. It's gravity. And gravity is centered within the earth, not outside of it. That means that people stay on earth, because we're pulled in.

Take the moon, for example. There's very little gravity there, which means the astronauts had difficult walking normally.

I suppose same effect can be said with space-simulators. I.e. aeroplanes, which makes a drop and allows you to be wightless for X amount of seconds.


No 3:
There are pictures of the earth from space. Loads of them. We've sent telescopes into space to take pictures of stars and of ourselves. Unless you assume this is all government conspiracy how can the world be anything but round?
The earth is huge, which is why you can see "flat" for several distances. You cannot see far enough to see it curve.

Have you ever ridden an aeroplane? If you have, look out the window when you're far up and you can see the curve.


Please note I am not being aggressive, I am just curious as to how you can believe these things and I try to understand the logic behind your ideas.

I can catch a baseball hit with a bat, so catching an apple is nothing. Conservation of motion means you save energy when sleeping.

There is no such thing as gravity. Water stays put because the Earth is flat. Why do you people hate the obvious?

All 'space renderings' show the Earth round as a apple pie and just about as flat. Yes, it appears curved on the rim, just like a pie.

Please note I am not being aggressive, I am just curious as to how you can believe these things and I try to understand the logic behind your ideas.

Actually, you are being aggressive, you are saying God is wrong. Why do you hate God?

Do not think I did not notice you laughing at baby Jesus.

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

I didn't laugh at anything, I am honestly curious.

You say we ignore the obvious, but it takes quite a bit effort to conjure up such conspiracies to make people believe the earth is round, doesn't it? And what would be gained from making the earth round?

If the earth is flat, why do we have an atmosphere? We have an atmostphere, which makes the light from the sun colour our sky blue, or is that sciennce nonsense? If so, what science do you like?

The science that support your emotions? When you're sick, penicilin is OK, I assume? When you have a head-ache pills are OK? When your wife or friends gave birth, they used a hispital, I presume?

Why are some science OK, but not the rest? Because you can use it and it doesn't jump your faith?

I came here in peace, to openly understand your belief and why you believe.

I've sent to messages, peaceful once, and I was mocked as reply.

Your conduct is appalling, considerng how christianity teaches good manners.

And no space-renderings shows the world as flat. It's not flat as a piece of papers. We have several telescopes out in space. We have seen the 7 other planets in our solar system are round. Our moon is round, Mars is round. Why should earth be flat?

Do not judge me or hate me because I ask. Do NOT mock me, like you do, it's appalling, since I ask innocent questions.

Do any of you silly people understand the difference between round and a sphere? What the heck is so hard to understand. The earth is like a pie, round yet some what flat. The Crust around the edge of a pie is like the great ice rim that retains the water. Take note of the edges of the attached photo. They are white(ICE)

Curious? I'd say you`re really quite peculiar.

Well, you don't seem to be too bright then. So far you've understood nothing.

Your conduct is appalling, considerng how christianity teaches good manners.

No it doesn't. It preaches uprightness and adherence to the Word of God. Jesus was no pussy. Ask the merchants in the Temple.

Do you think the Lord said to Pharaoh:
'Oh, excuse me old chap, would you mind ever so slightly if I brought down a few plagues on your land? I'd be frightfully grateful if you'd be a sport'.



Exactly.

Show me one True Picture(c) of a spherical Earth and I'll believe you. I guarantee you, every picture you can come up with has the Earth as flat as a pie. All planets are flat pie shaped disc's.

I am sorry if you find the Truth(r) appalling. And I am offended you unjustly accuse us of mocking you. No, we do not mock you, there is no need to further sully what little esteem you had.

We believe what we do because God tells us so. God created man and the Heavens and the Earth. Why do you want to accuse Him of lying? That is blasphemy you know.
