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

Maybe you have some ideas of what I can bring up in the introduction forum?

The fact that you are here makes it pretty clear that Jesus has brought you to God's favourite forum.

Whatever sins you have committed can be repented if you are willing to be washed in the sweet blood of the Lamb (Jesus).

No matter if you are queer, an ethnic minority or retarded your sins can be absolved if you are genuine in your desire not to go to Hell with all the adulterers, self abusers, dogs and wizards.

Truly God is glorious!

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

Maybe you have some ideas of what I can bring up in the introduction forum?

Start by telling us about your background and how you came to place such distance between yourself and your Creator. Tell us about the sin and depredation in which you wallow, and describe the feelings of worthlessness and meaninglessness you hold due to the absence of Jesus in your heart. Once we have this information, we will be able to chart a course for how to most effectively share our witness with you.

For now, I will leave you with the following verse of Scripture to ponder.

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

Luke 16:15
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Hebrews 3:8-12
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Just a moment, friend. Nobody said it's "never too late to find God".

If you die before you find God, it's too late. When He resurrects you at Judgment and shows Himself to you--at which point instead of having faith, you will have knowledge--it will be too late. If you have not begged Jesus to forgive you your sins, and left your sinful deathstyle, before death, then when God shows Himself to you, it will be only to tell you that you were not worthy, and cast you into eternal torture in His Lake of Fire.

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

3 simple arguments why the following 3 experiments don't prove a thing:
1. The earth is indeed spinning with a certain high velocity, but also is everything on it. So if the earth would be going 700-1000 mph I am moving with that speed too. Jumping up only gives me a vertical relative motion to the earth, so relative to the earth I will not move to the side and therefore won't end up on the other side of the street when jumping.

2. Since the earth has a gravitational field everywhere on earth the attraction between the balloon and a piece of paper will not be large enough to compensate for the gravity of the earth. This experiment proves again nothing at all.

3. You can do a simple experiment like this to prove it is spherical. Go to the seaside and watch a ship in the far sea. You'll notice you're unable to see the bottom part of the ship, simply by the curvature of the earth. The argument you give in nonsense, because even with a curved earth, you're still able to see more of the earth when you reach higher grounds.

We know the Earth is flat because the Bible tells us so. But for those of you skeptical, close-minded types that flat out refuse to accept the overwhelming Biblical evidence, I have designed some experiments you can do at home that will show you, before your very eyes, that the world is indeed flat, and not spherical as some crazy scientists proclaim. It's amazing how many people blindly believe in a spherical Earth, without ever having seen it for themselves! I intend to change that.


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.


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.


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.


These experiments are all confirmed by creation scientists as being 100% accurate. If you're skeptical of the flat Earth, why don't you do these experiments so you can see truth with your own eyes.

Yours in Christ,

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

I'm confused. If the world is indeed flat, then why does your registry form ask what secular "timezone" I live in?

In a vacuum, if you were in the bed of a truck and jumped straight up, you would land on the truck bed. Air resistance causes you to appear to shoot backwards. Or do Baptists believe in air? Since you, the earth, and the air all travel at the same velocity, you end up where you land.

Australians exist because of (surprise!) gravity. The force holding an Australian to the ground can be calculated by multiplying his mass by his acceleration to the earth, 9.8 meters per second squared, or for the logically challenged, 32 feet per second squared. This force is balanced out by: nothing, as the earth does not rest above any attractive object, such as a turtle. Any where you stand on earth, down is to the center of earth. There is an attractive force between the piece of paper and the balloon, but it's on the magnitude of billionths of a Newton and is easily overcome by earth's gravity. If you blew up a balloon and tried this in outer space, that would work like a dream.


By the way, this comment form is very poorly designed.

The third is basic logic. The further away you get from anything, the more of it you will see, barring of course the fact the the further away from something you get the smaller it is. This would work whether the earth was round, flat, peanut shaped, or a giant letter R.

If you live near a beach, when you look out over the water, you can actually see the curvature of the earth. That's no accident; that exists due to a phenomenon known as The Earth Being Curved.

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

Even these God haters who refuse to see simple and plain facts are failing to'keep their stories straight'. New day, new 'scientist', new 'theory'. All malarky.
God never waivers from His story, why do you people?

Scientists change their theories because when evidence against said theory is found, a smart scientist changes his theory, or throws it out in favor of a new one, one that agrees with and supports that evidence. This is how they arrived at the Theory of Evolution, Gravity, biology, physics, chemistry, geology, and any proper science.

God doesn't "change" his story because any time contradicting evidence is found, it is either ignored, criticised, or altered to match what your Bible says.

Science is constantly changing because we have to look at the universe through a pinhole in a postcard; life would be infinitely easier if all the answers were in a book, but that book simply doesn't work that well at explaining anything real, including gravity, biology, chemistry, geology, physics, quantum theory, and anatomy.

The Bible says that Pi is equal to three, that's an acceptable error, at that point in history no real reaseach had been done on the actual value of Pi. Anyone with a piece of string and a tin can can show that Pi does not equal three, but goes slightly above (3.1415926, if memory serves.)

The Bible also says that a massive flood covered the entire earth, so far no geologist has ever found any proof of a global flood. (Large, still bodies of water tend to leave layers of sediment, also no other peoples on this large spinning sphere report any global floods around 6000 years ago.)

The Bible says that the earth is flat, and it also says it's round. About three centuries before Jesus was born, a Greek scientist accurately calculated the circumference of the earth to within a few hundred miles. I'm not saying the Bible guessed wrong there, but the Bible says a lot of things and not a lot of them work.

How about you stop being so damn lazy and actually read through the whole thread? Everything you asked has been explained in detail for many times.

So, instead of being typical monkey-worshiper who can't put any effort on anything, start reading.

Imagine that you are looking out at the horizon. Now turn around looking at the horizon as you go round. When you complete your rotation notice that the horizon meets up exactly with the first bit you looked at. If the horizon was curving down then it wouldn't meet up properly. Only a perfectly straight line would match up, this is a very simple proof for the flat Earth.

Whoa whoa, who said anything about worshipping monkeys? Now this thread's almost 500 pages long, and most of that is racist home-schooled hicks with a tendancy to start calling things homosexual when stuff doesn't go right for them. I don't have time to troll through thousands of them, and I sure as hell don't want to. In fact, just knowing that this website will appear on my Internet history buggers me out.

And I'd venture to say that a "typical monkey-worshipper" puts more effort into critical thinking than this whole thread, except that there's no such thing as a "monkey-worshipper", because nowhere in the Theory of Evolution does it say that monkeys are in any way superior to humans. Quite the opposite in fact, but I'm not going to sit around and wait for them to evolve brains wise enough to understand that whole worshipping rubbish. I worship no animal, human, or Magic Sky Bully, and you could wager anything that no other scientific individual worships Darwin, Hubble, Copernicus, Erotosethenes, Einstein, Dawkins, Hawking, Feynman, Fermi, Mendel, Maxwell, Planck, Newton, Hooke, Galileo, Tesla, Gauss, Faraday, or any other man of science as any kind of exhalted individual we are not worthy of looking upon.

Well Jennifer, if you are too lazy to see all your childish questions have already been answered, why should we consider bothering go get them again?
Do you know, Jesus tells us we are blessed by your persecution.
Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
