Obviously the sticks have to be far enough apart. go put a stick another country and then tell me.

After I get cheque from you for the gas money!

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

Ok I have an experiment for everyone as well.

If you stick a stick in the ground, it will produce a shadow. The shadow moves as time passes (which is the principle for ancient Shadow Clocks). If the world had been flat, then two sticks in different locations would produce the same shadow:







But they don’t. This is because the earth is round, and not flat



Thoughts?

This is because the sun moves around the earth... You haven't even READ the Bible, have you?

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

The problem with your shadow test is that it's based on the assumption that the sun is millions of miles in diameter and millions of miles away. But, it has been proven mathematically that the Sun is much, much smaller and no more than 500 miles overhead at any given time.

Therefore the Sun, being so close to Earth, would cast different shadows on posts in separate countries. You can do an experiment yourself. Take two identical objects (like say bottles). Now hold a flashlight about six inches above the bottles and move them around. Sometimes the shadows sync up, other times they cast different shadows.

No. I haven't. But it doesn't matter because the bible doesn't actually prove anything. Name one thing that it 100% proves.

I think we'd be better off sticking to facts and leaving astrology and superstitious mumbo jumbo out of this thanks.

The stick to the right is leaning towards the sun and the stick to the left is leaning away from the sun.
Due to different angles the shadows on the ground will have different length.

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

It's simple, really.

-Given you have a powerful enough magnifying object, stand on top of the Sears' Tower and tell me if you can see the Eiffel Tower, Taipei 101, Petronas Towers, or anything beyond the Northern Hemisphere. You can't, can you?

-If the Earth was flat, there would be no horizon, and don't say the horizon is a conspiracy because if you do, you never passed the second grade.

-Take a boat from wherever and sail all the way around the earth. You'll get right back where you started.

-Toilets and whirlpools on the Southern Hemisphere flush and swirl in the opposite direction of those on the Northern Hemisphere. This dictates that the Earth is a sphere, because if it was a prism, it would flush/swirl the same direction as all other toilets/whirlpools.

-If the Earth was a rectangular shape, there would be no room for any layer other than half of the crust, which I'd bet you theorize is yet another conspiracy (about the layers of the earth).

-If you stand on the North and South poles, a compass will go berserk, because of the strong magnetic force. Again, this would not happen if the Earth was flat.

-The Earth is no different from any other planet other than the fact we have all the necessary materials for life. That does not put, nor should it put, us in a superiority complex.

-If you get a powerful enough telescope, you CAN see satellites in space orbiting around Earth.

-A non-spherical object could not have a gravitational pull, and if the earth was flat, it would fall endlessly through space and time, and eventually be out of the heating radius of the Sun to be able to sustain life.

Enough said.

Where does God factor into your foolishness? Without God, nothing else exists!

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

Why are you avoiding the situation at hand?

If you can go to a tall tower and actually physically see the curve of the earth, how is that not proof?

Besides, even if God exists, that has nothing to do with the earth being flat or spherical

Nonsense. If a tower was that tall it would reach straight into the Kingdom of Heaven! Haven't you read the story of the Tower of Babel? Genesis 11. The people of earth tried to reach a tower that was tall enough to reach God. God was really angry with them, so he cursed them so they could never build it.

Besides, even if God exists, that has nothing to do with the earth being flat or spherical

We follow the BIBLE. I don't know what pagan god you believe in, but my God made the world flat, as any intelligent person can see.

Do you have this handy tool?

-If the Earth was flat, there would be no horizon, and don't say the horizon is a conspiracy because if you do, you never passed the second grade.

Says you. Our eyesight is only so good you know.

-Take a boat from wherever and sail all the way around the earth. You'll get right back where you started.

Congratulations you've proven that you can circumnavigate a circle

-Toilets and whirlpools on the Southern Hemisphere flush and swirl in the opposite direction of those on the Northern Hemisphere. This dictates that the Earth is a sphere, because if it was a prism, it would flush/swirl the same direction as all other toilets/whirlpools.

An atheist lie, debunked by smarter atheists than you

-If the Earth was a rectangular shape, there would be no room for any layer other than half of the crust, which I'd bet you theorize is yet another conspiracy (about the layers of the earth).

So your plate is a rectangle? Didn't pass basic understanding of shapes in kindergarten, did you.

-If you stand on the North and South poles, a compass will go berserk, because of the strong magnetic force. Again, this would not happen if the Earth was flat.

-The Earth is no different from any other planet other than the fact we have all the necessary materials for life. That does not put, nor should it put, us in a superiority complex.

Even if we take the scientists view of planets, that's a pretty big difference don't you think? Or do you also think Jupiter and Mars are exactly alike?

-If you get a powerful enough telescope, you CAN see satellites in space orbiting around Earth.

I'll bet you think you can see the moon landing site from earth as well

-A non-spherical object could not have a gravitational pull, and if the earth was flat, it would fall endlessly through space and time, and eventually be out of the heating radius of the Sun to be able to sustain life.

Okay smartass, explain why all the planets aren't sucked into the sun if gravitation is such a strong force. The earth was placed on pillars by God. But why would I expect that someone like you would bother to read at least the first page of this thread.

Enough said.

Oh no, please go on. I've been reading your answers to my oldest children. The 9-year old just had to make a run for the bathroom because he was laughing so hard he almost peed himself.

Good family fun.

Really?

I went to Paris one time right up to the top of that stinking Eiffel Tower....I certainly didn't see any "curvature" of the earth.....Looked as flat as one of the good ladies of Landover's pies.

Oh and....even if God exists...? Do you think that anyone round here agrees with that train of thought? Of course God exists...you should thank him because without his Love you wouldn't exist either.
