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

I have one very simple question regarding the nature of this post. Where in the bible does it say the earth is not round? I am not a chirstian, i am no aethiest but i am curious of both so im obviously not an avid bible reader.

If you begin at page 1 of this thread and read it carefully through to the last page in the thread the answers to you question will be apparent and clearly stated.

You also say the you are not a Christian and you are not an atheist, if that is the case then what cult do you belong to?

Go back to the first post in this thread, then read it all the way through. We aren't here to spoonfeed you, heathen.

Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

Wow !! It is my first post here and i'm now 100% sure that the Earth is flat!! I never realized how accurate this was.

Being somewhat bored today and not wanting to allow the devil an opportunity to tempt me I will show you the scriptures that prove the earth is flat:

Psalm 19:4-6: Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

If the earth was a sphere it couldn't possibly have an end.....therefore as the Bible is the inerrant Word of God the earth must be disc or pie shaped.

Simple......if you have more questions the read a copy of the KJV...therein lies the answers to all your questions.

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

That's taking it out of text it also says that a man prayed for the Sun to remain in the sky for a full day obviously it didn't. Day could mean from 8:00AM to 8:00PM. Same with this.

If the Earth IS flat then answer this one question if you can answer it then I will believe the Earth is flat. If the Earth is flat then isn't it like this? The oceans water falls off the end of the Earth and falls into just nothing? How do we still have oceans they would of depleted by now.

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

I'd like to make a few remarks concerning those aforementioned experiments.

1) The Earth rotates, and everything within it's gravity rotates at the same speed as well, so jumping in the air disproves nothing. For example, what happens if you jump inside a train which moves 90 mph? You land precisely where you took off from. Or more so, inside an aeroplane?

Why do you indeed fall off the truck when it's moving 75 mph? The drag of air constantly tries to slow down your movement (you feel it as strong wind) but the truck beneath you keeps you in speed. So when you jump, you have no friction with the truck anymore and thus the drag of air tackles in and slows your movement and you fall off or land further back on the truck.

2) This argument is even more ridiculous than the first. Of course the piece of paper won't stick on the balloon - Earth's gravity will pull the piece of paper toward itself. The explanation for this is that the Earth is far heavier than an air balloon. I would guess that the mass of an air balloon would be around 20g, the mass of the earth is approximately:
5973600000000000000000000 kg

3) If the Earth were flat, wouldn't it have edge? If you travel 40,000 km due west you end up in the same point where you began your journey from. I won't bother to explain further but I'd like to give an example of my own experience.

I figured out that the Earth isn't flat already when I was 12. I remember it was Midsummer Day (or well Midsummer Night as it was dark already) and people had lit up fires across our cottage lake. They were about 5km away but still clearly visible to the naked eye. I deduced that they were visible when standing up just by the water but when I crouched down, they all disappeared. The lake was totally calm, no waves whatsoever. I asked my dad about it and he explained it's because the Earth is spherical and not flat. If the earth were flat I would've still seen the fires when crouching down. You can try this at your summer cottage or wherever, but I can assure you it does work.

For all the haters, I'm not an atheist. I just don't believe in creation science as it's clearly incorrect in many ways.

Yours truly,
Your average Joe

Instead of wasting our time and bandwidth, you could have actually read the thread you were replying to and see that everything you said has already been posted and debunked.

And if you don't believe in creation science, you are an atheist. I don't care what label you try to pass yourself off as. You don't worship God, and you will go to hell

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

Wonderful takedown of atheist scum throughout this post! I had a couple questions I was hoping my brothers in Christ could help me to understand:

1) When I hear that Amelia Earhart flew "around the world", am I correct to reject this crazy story because she's a woman and therefore not to be trusted? (Not sure how to reject this, my sister insists that it's true but I'm not sure how to save her from her heathen ways)

2) Someone I have been trying to save for some time now presented this argument, and I'm not sure how to respond to it: If the earth were flat, then at the equator the closer one goes to the east the shorter morning gets. This heathen claimed (without KJB1611 citations, no less!) that the further east you go, the earlier in the day the sun would be directly overhead.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance brothers,

Well you could point out that she tried to fly around the world. She disappeared and was never heard from again. In fact she never did anything original. Sure she was "the first woman to ....." but every one of her achievements had been done by a man.

I would suggest you read the thread. The earth is a circle, traveling due east is not a straight line, because you use the North pole as a reference. So you would be doing a wide arc.

Why are people incapable of understanding that something can be round and flat at the same time? Are we the only people who have seen coins, plates and Frisbees?

I think we should start just saying the world is pie shaped Sister - It would maybe be easier for the God-mockers to understand.

I don't think that's the crust of the matter here though. It's its description that's in the Bible that's the proof of the pudding. God mocker's and Mac users alike can troll all the want but I for one will be sniggering when we see Apple crumble.

I still can't fathom out why they see the need to shove all this anti-Biblical unproof down our throats.

Indeed Brother, their ramblings really take the biscuit if you ask me. They should just shut their pie holes.....a lot of the reasoning on here seems to me like people who just want to have their cake and eat it.

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

I was raised in a Baptist home and a Baptist church. I am a strong believer in a young earth and seven-day creation. However, I admit no one in our church ever mentioned anything about the earth being flat. And to be honest, it seems kind of silly. I thought the earth was proven to be round when Columbus sailed around the world?

I will admit though these three experiments are certainly interesting. If the world was spinning, I would land hundreds of feet away, like you said. And there would be colossal winds bowling everybody and everything over.

But there's all these pictures from space. And like I said, I live in an environment that embraces YEC but nothing has been said about a flat earth. If the earth was flat, why hasn't my pastor told me about it? I'm sorry I'm a little confused about this all.
