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

Any other recommendations on how we run our PRIVATELY OWNED forum pal?

Why don't you take a big cup of shut up, while you are OUR GUEST.

Arrogant little shit.

Are we getting agressive, are we?

I didn't say how you must run you 'forum', I was only discussing that you can't take any picture as a foolproof evidence.

Besides, 'Arrogant little shit'?

So childish and typical for your 'kind'.

This is the funniest posting i have ever read in my life, but if i may suggest one thing, please CHECK YOUR SPELLING, i am pretty sure it is "catholic" not "cathlik"

One more thing: 'Privately owned' ?

Please, everyone can make an account here and read and post everything they want.

It's the point of every forum, that everyone put's his arguments or thinking on a thread about a specific subject.

It's the point that I give some critical thinking here, it's pointless if everyone says the same thing.

So the accepted wisdom on my post is:

A) God is punishing a Catholic town for daring to live under the tenets of the Bible, or
Brother Alex simply found a random picture on the internet and decided to post it as proof.

The only person who can really know which is Brother Alex (I do not include God as He is by definition not a "person") so please could you confirm Brother. Thank you.

I also have difficulties with your model of the Earth itself. Brother Heathen_Basher has created this brilliant diagram showing the position of the celestial bodies on page 251, which along with the animation below it on Page 315 created by Brother Ezekiel Bathfire, shows how the sun's movement shows its dominion over the day.






Sorry I can't get the animation to display properly, click the link - it does work!

The main problem I have from these otherwise flawless depictions is the relative lengths of day and night. By the animation, assuming the whole day/night cycle to be 24 hours long, every day would last no more than 3-4 hours and the sun would appear above the horizon and get progressively larger until midday. After noon, it would shrink as it moves further away. Instead, what we see is the sun appearing from under the horizon, moving along a semi-circular path until it moves back under the horizon again.

Also, the top picture shows the clouds above the Ocean Over the Earth. I have seen, practically every day of my life, the sun being hidden behind the clouds.

Once again I thank the authors of these descriptive illustrations and request elucidation of my concerns.

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

Wow, that's amazing. Please continue, and explain to us further how we are supposed to run our own Forum.

It's the point that I give some critical thinking here, it's pointless if everyone says the same thing.

First of all, please take your critical thinking elsewhere. God hates critical thinking.

Secondly, God wants us to say all the same things:

1 Corinthians 1:10:
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

2 Thessalonians 3:6:
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

So the accepted wisdom on my post is:

A) God is punishing a Catholic town for daring to live under the tenets of the Bible, or
Brother Alex simply found a random picture on the internet and decided to post it as proof.

Friend, catholics do not live under the tenets of the Bible:

Isaiah 42:8:
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Matthew 23:8-9:
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

1 Timothy 3:1-2:
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1 Timothy 4:1-5:
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Secondly, Brother Alex is a True Christian(tm), which means that he is always right about everything:

1 Corinthians 2:14-16:
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

The main problem I have from these otherwise flawless depictions is the relative lengths of day and night. By the animation, assuming the whole day/night cycle to be 24 hours long, every day would last no more than 3-4 hours and the sun would appear above the horizon and get progressively larger until midday. After noon, it would shrink as it moves further away. Instead, what we see is the sun appearing from under the horizon, moving along a semi-circular path until it moves back under the horizon again.

Friend, this is a schematic representation. Obviously, the sun is still far removed from the Earth. That's why the sun never changes size: the different vantage points on the Earth are simply not removed far enough from one another to give any visible difference.

Additionally, we know that this cosmology is true not because of "science," but because of reading God's Word in the Bible. Your argumentations are getting dangerously rational.

I only ask as a seeker of the truth

If you seek the Truth, why don't you just follow the Bible?

Yeah, yeah. "Recent convert", my ass. You are a mocking God-hater, and you are going to hell.

Of course, I should have been clearer. There are clouds both above and below the ocean. They float through the windows in the firmament.

You ask as an idiotic demon-possessed blasphemer, you can't fool us.

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

I have not read this entire thread. But I got the gist of it from reading the first few pages. I just wonder if this question has been posed yet...

If the Earth is flat, I ask you...go take a walk. A long walk. Where is the edge of the Earth. And why have we never seen it before?

Amazing. This was never asked before!

Gee, now we really have to think it all over again.

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

Let's see science tackle these arguments!

With pleasure! Let's get started shall we?

Experiment 1:
Your example of the truck is just as wrong as your experiment. if the truck is moving at a constant speed, it is an inertial frame of reference, meaning that there are no forces acting on it horizontally. when you jump, the only force acting on you is the downwards force of gravity (which you quite hilariously attempt to disprove later on) therefore, on the horizontal plane, you will experience no force, and therefore no change in velocity, and you will land back on the truck. next time you are on a train, try jumping, I assure you you will not fly backwards.

Experiment 2:
This one was cute, trying to prove that gravity does not exist with a balloon, which has a mass of more or less one gram. mass is different to size. also, what would be making people fall off below the equator?

Experiment 3:
I won't even bother... draw a diagram, bearing in mind that the earth's curvature is pretty damn hard to perceive unless you are many miles up in the air...

well done guys! I can see you put a lot of research into your science

LOL at number 1, havent any of you guys realised that if you jump inside something like a plane you do not get thrown to the back? It's because you are traveling at the same speed as the vehicle. This is just plain common sense

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

Tell you what. You start walking and let us know what you find. We'll completely rethink the Bible in the mean time.

Deal?
