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

Another thing, we know that the physics of our universe causes objects to have a gravitational pull, depending on its mass and density. So, if the earth were at the center of the universe, the earth would have to be so unimaginably large (Or dense) to create enough gravity to hold the universe together that there's no way earthly life could exist.

No, we DON'T know that. I have never seen any of that in the Bible

I haven't seen "and the earth is flat" either

Then you clearly missed the verses in the VERY FIRST POST.

And as for what is holding the universe together if the earth is at the center, that's easy - JESUS!

Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

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

I sat on a train and tossed a ball straight up. It went up and came down directly into my hand. The train was traveling at 70mph. Why didnt it fly to the back of the carrage at 70+(the speed at which i threw it)mph.
It didnt do this because i threw it while the train was moving so it was already travelling at 70mph went i threw it. If the earth rotates at the said speed, then so do you. If you straight up you will land at the same spot because both you and the earth are rotating at the same speed.
Why dont i feel like im travelling very very fast.
I boarded a train but was very tired, so after i got to my seat i closed my eyes and fell asleep. when i awoke i looked out the window at the country side wizzing by. I could feel the train rocking but i couldnt feel it going forward.

Don't be silly. You were inside the train. Go sleep and fiddle with your balls on the roof of that cart. If you straight up (why did you need to bring gay aspect into this as well?), you will will be ex-gay at the same spot because earth is flat.

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

i sat by the Sea at my father sailed his boat over to an island. i watched the boat travel out to Sea towards the Horizon. As it went further and further away it got smaller and smaller. Then i could only see the Sail and not the boat. I looked through my binoculars but i could still ony see the Sail. Slowly it sank below the Horizon.

What kind of boat your father has? What was this shore and to what island he sailed? Can you post a link of what kind of binoculars do you have?
What this has to do with gay example you gave us last time? Or what would happen if you played with your ball on the roof of that train of yours?

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

<quote>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.</quote>

For the example above to work you must move far far away from the earth so that your balloon is the heaviest object close to the paper. Conducting this experiment on earth will distort the results as earth mass is greater than the balloon and will pull the paper to the ground.

Sorry to disappoint but i am not gay and i will not be drawn into a conversation about masturbation. I don't know you and its inappropriate, especially for a Christian forum.
The least i would expect is some manners.

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

Get your act together heathen!

Now you are just making absolutely no sense with your posts.

You made 2 cute stories you could not explain further and then you start spamming gibberish. OK, I guess that is one way to go.

What the heaven is this then?

No one asked that but, hey, thanks for sharing. I was just wondering what straightening up has to do with anything in Creation science section.

If you straight up you will land at the same spot .

If you can't understand what it means when he said he watched a boat go off into the distance and after a while he could only see the sail over the horizon and that it disappeared than you need some help. If the earth was flat you should be able to see a ship set off from the east coast of the United States and be able to watch it (weather with binoculars or a telescope) all the way to Europe. But you can't. Because it disappears under the horizon. Because the earth is round.

Please do help me understand this. Where have you watched this happen at first hand?

Sounds to me like your dads boat was sinking.
