you are stupid if you do not see this. this is fact. the bible... it is just not.

Newton's Law of Gravity

Each object in the universe attracts each other body.

If object A has mass Ma and object B has mass Mb,
then the force F on object A is directed toward object B
and has magnitude
F = G Ma Mb / r2

So, considering the force between an Sun and the Earth

• The force exerted on the Earth by the Sun is equal and opposite to the force exerted on the Sun by the Earth.
• If the mass of the Earth were doubled, the force on the Earth would double.
• If the mass of the Sun were doubled, the force on the Earth would double.
• If the Earth were twice as far away from the Sun, the force on the Earth would be a factor four smaller.

Notes on the meaning of r:

• If the two objects are very small compared to the distance between them, then the force is given by Newton's formula with r being the distance between the objects.
  
• If one of the objects is very small and the other is spherically symmetric, then the same formula holds with r being the distance from the small object to the center of the big object.
  
• Point two is a consequence of point one. Newton proved it by adding up the forces.

there we go

Dribble removed

The only natural law is God's Law. Only a atheist or pagan would believe such dribble you posted. Are you to lazy to read past postings that prove you wrong.

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

I don't know if it has been done yet, as I haven't read 77 pages full of arguments and failures to refute them, but I thought I might add another wonderful scientifically supported theory to strengthen existing arguments.

Someone asked me the other day, "If the earth is flat, then why are there time zones?"

Take a flashlight and move it across a sheet of paper. Do you see the entire page light up at the same time? Of course not. This is because light does not travel in all directions from the flashlight. The Sun travels in the firmament, and it, too, is a flat disk focusing the light on a narrow section of the earth. This also accounts for the curvature of the "day line" when you travel in an airplane. The same phenomenon occurs with the stars, which is why some stars are not visible in various parts of the world.



Time and time again, scientific fact will support the Bible.

Are trying to say the earth is flat or round.

Are trying to say the earth is flat or round.

The Earth is unequivocally Flat, suspended upon nothing, circular, and therefore finite.

This is true. However, you also fail to mention that it is not necessary for an object to be spherical. You show a figure with two very obviously non-spherical objects. The earth is indeed massive. It does indeed attract objects to its surface. Does this prove it is a sphere? absolutely not.

Furthermore, you neglect to mention that Isaac Newton himself wrote several texts on the literal interpretation of the Bible, but, finding it unsatisfactory, dabbled in the Occult. Eternal Hell awaits those who ask questions.

You are absolutely correct! As we know, the Sun is about 500 miles away. Therefore it shines a narrow beam upon the Earth and only lights up certain areas at a time. Your flashlight/paper analogy is spot-on. Thank you for contributing to this discussion!

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

i am sorry... but this is ridiculous. people have know of earths spherical shape for thousands of years. HERE IS SOME PROOF AGAIN take the worlds most high powered telescope maybe the hubble. put it in washington DC. if you look through it will you see china? or india? or europe? the answer is simply no... because they are beyond the horizon. and dont say "Its because the telescope isn't powerful enough.. because it is used to picture other GALAXYS. the earth is round and to believe otherwise is naive and stupid

wrong again sir... you wouldn't see them. you would see about twelve miles maybe a little more out into the ocean. and if you are lucky maybe a big tanker ship. oh boy. but stillllllll no land

I mean if you were standing on the roof of a building, stupid. Naturally, if you were standing below the skyline you wouldn't see very far.

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

you could be 2000 feet up hell you could be 10000 feet up and the answer wouldnt change. maybe more tankers. and yes derp... i mean dirk. maybe a few albotroses. but those birds live there because they have the ability to fly around the world in 1 swoop. so yeah. please be more specific next time

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

We keep having to reiterate this: When the Bible says the earth is flat, it doesn't mean totally flat like table. More like flat like a pie, with the accompanying mounds and ridges. The general shape of the Earth is flat, not absolute shape.

Therefore you can't just suddenly see anything you want with a high powered telescope. Mountains, hills, and ocean waves get in the way. Out in the open ocean, waves can swell hundreds, if not thousands of feet.....water mountains if you will.
