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

You go on an archaeological expedition with a map but maps show the earth is round. If the earth is flat and has a finite topology then why does the map not show where the earts 'edges' are. So the question is how can YOU trust the map? Yet I am sure you will testify that the maps have always been correct. On top of that the maps you use are so accurate because of satellites which equally show the earth is round.

Friend, all the maps I use are flat, not round. Anyway, that a map doesn't show the edges of the Earth doesn't mean they therefore do not exist. Or do you consider world maps to be infallible somehow?

You also use a compass, this points North (toward the North pole) and South (toward the South pole) negating the impact of declination. This is dues to the electromagnetic field created by the spherical earth. How would this constant field be created on a flat earth?

You are presenting atheist speculations about magnetism here as though they were facts. The truth is that no one ever saw an electron or a proton, which would supposedly supply the "charge" required for magnetism to occur.

Neither did anyone ever see a "magnetic field." That is a concept that's invented by secular scientists to explain away the miracles of compasses pointing North without giving God due credit.

And just and extra taste - we see the moon. This is also spherical. Im sure you will argue it is a 2D surface or something equal. How do you account for the ever changing surface as visible by eye.

The ever changing surface? I still see the same moon overhead as I saw back when I was a child.

Additionally if gravity doesn't exist why don't all the rocks on the moon fall off and hit us on the head?

You are being silly. The Bible doesn't say anything about rocks being on the moon. And if there were rocks on the moon, then they stay there because of Intelligent Pulling. Just like the moon stays in the air of Intelligent Pulling (in contrast with gravity, which teaches that things fall down naturally. Gravity therefore predicts the moon to fall down on Earth, which it obviously doesn't. Yet more proof of how ridiculous the theory of gravity really is)

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

No-one ever saw a magnetic field but people have seen magnetism. you have surely used a magnet?

No-one has ever seen an electron but you have seen a plug into a socket and your appliance has worked? you know not to put your finger into that socket? you have seen lightening storms? If you are discounting theories based on 'seeing is believing' as you never saw these things and yet you believe in God then what does he look like? I am not trying to argue against the existence of God, your faith is your prerogative but physical experiments prove these things to be true. In your home there are examples of magnetism, they are not speculation.

As for the moon - the theory of gravity doesn't predict that the moon will fall on the earth. Gravity predicts the earth with exert some pull on the moon towards the earth. It also predicts that the sun will exert a pull on the moon toward the sun etc. etc. The moon does not fall on the earth due to the equilibrium of forces exerted on it by these and other celestial bodies as well as some other physics I do not understand. (Yet more proof of how real gravity is.)

You haven't proven anything!!! You keep spouting ridiculous claims (claims that have been rebuked this entire thread, if you weren't so lazy and have read it). Also, and most importantly, you haven't cited ONE passage of scripture. How are we supposed to take you seriously?

I don't recall electricity being mentioned in the bible.

Please point out the exact book, chapter, and verse that electricity is described, without any modern-day interpretations used to change the meanings.

So what you're telling me is that all of our modern day devices are powered by "God's anger"? Since it's already been said that's what a lightning storm is.



But aside from that, how do you even know for certain that lightning is made up of electricity? Did you take a lightning bolt apart to see what it was made of? If you haven't how can you say that lightning is electricity?

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

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL some of u guys (note i said not all, as ive read posts from people who actually have some common sense) have got to be some of the biggest idiots i have ever come across....it just goes to show how ignorant u can be. let me quote the original post and show u ur illogical ways:


1) Jump!
Now, scientists claim that Earth is spherical and rotating at a speed of between 700-1000 miles per hour, depending on your latitude. This is a very high rate of speed. You can disprove this nonsense by simply jumping up as high as you can. Really, it's that simple. What happens when you jump? You come straight down to where you were. But, if the Earth were indeed spinning at such a fast speed, wouldn't you land hundreds of feet away?

If you were to stand in the flat bed of a truck going 75 mph, and jump straight up, what would happen? You wouldn't fall straight down. You would fall out of the truck. That's because trucks move, the Earth doesn't. This experiment proves the Earth is fixed in space and doesn't move.

theres a very good reason for this. if an object is moved by a force and then the force STOPS acting on it, the object will continue to move at the exact same speed PROVIDED that no other forces act on it. using the example of the truck, the truck is able to travel at 75 mph because the engine can counter the force produced by air resistance. the moment u jump up u are no longer "part" of the truck, but u now have air resistance acting on u, hence ur speed (of 75 mph) is now decreasing

2) Blow!
Since if the Earth is supposedly a sphere, it naturally comes to assume what would happen to people below the equator, like in Australia? Since they are underneath the sphere, wouldn't they fall off? This is where scientists come up with mumbo-jumbo like "gravity" and "centrifugal force" to explain away their theories. So, the scientists want you to think that because the earth is so much more massive than people or things, that people will naturally "stick" to the bottom of the earth because of gravity.

This can be disproved very simply. Get a balloon and inflate it as big as possible. It will be a spherical shape. Now, take a piece of paper and try to rip, tear, or cut the tiniest speck of paper possible. This paper represents a human being, much smaller in mass to the balloon, which represents the Earth. Now try and place the small piece of paper to the underside of the balloon. What happens? It falls off!

That's right. Even though the balloon is so much bigger in mass, it cannot hold the tiny paper. So if the Earth was a sphere, no one could live below the equator because they would fall off.

oh really???? blow up that baloon and then rub it against ur hair for a while.....now bring it close to the paper...what happens??? its called static electricity, and gravity works in a very similar way


3) Get High!
Ok, this one you really can't do at home, but you can do it out in the world. Stand on the ground and look around you. What's the farthest you can see? Maybe it's a building, tree, or mountain. Now, find some place very close to it where you can get a much higher vantage point. (This also works if you're on a jet and about to take off.) Notice how in the higher place you can see much farther? You can see more of the world the higher you get. This shows the world is flat because the higher you go, the easier it is to see over obstacles. At the same time, it shows the world cannot be spherical. Because if the world was curved, the far distance would forever remain out of view because of the Earth's curvature. It would eternally be over the horizon.

If the Earth was a sphere, it would not matter how high you went, you would still see the same thing. Since this is not the case, the Earth is flat.

seriously? do u even realise just HOW BIG the earth is. for someone as small as us it would seem flat. heres a simple example. just look at the icons on ur computer....some of them are round shapes; but do u realise just how small the pixels are that make up that shape? if u zoom in to a very high level, u will see the pixels, and that they are tiny little blocks. on some sections u will see that those little blocks form straight lines.
but while ur up there doing ur silly little "experiment"...actually look at the horizon, and ull see that it does, in fact, curve.

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

to quote another moron:

Which would totally be true if the round earth theory were true.

You would be upside down. It would also be something like 4 p.m. over there meaning you knew the future.

We all know that's not true, right? Right? You don't really know who is going to win tomorrow, do you?

wow, u IDIOT!! have u ever heard of time zones? when i go to sleep at nite some of my friends on the other side of the earth are getting up to go to work. daytime is when the sun is shining, night time is when its not, right? thats why there is a time difference. take a ball and shine a flashlight on it...well would u look at that; the 1 side has light on it, and the other doesnt

another is when registering, the forum rules state something along the lines of "please use correct AMERICAN grammar and spelling as commanded by christ" . now, let me ask u this, was the american dialect, rules for spelling and grammar even around when christ was supposably on earth? lets take this one step further....was ENGLISH even around?

Exactly. According to the Bible, all people are born as unsaved trash:

Psalm 51:5:
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Romans 3:10:
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Only by getting Saved(tm), you can go to Heaven:

John 3:18:
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Firstly, American is a higher language than English.

Secondly, English certainly was around at the time the only True Bible(tm) was written, the King James Version.

We normally respond to people in kind. Bad spelling and grammar coupled with maniacal laughter isn't going to get you a "well thought out, educated, or civilized debate." Also because this is not a debate forum, but a worship forum.
