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

Jumping in the air does not fling you away hundreds of feet because you have the same momentum in the same direction that the earth does. A person travelling at a constant velocity will not feel any motion. When you are in a car, you only feel the force of the acceleration, but that feeling ceases when the car is moving at a constant velocity. Now, if you were standing on top of the car, outside, and you jumped, you would fall off the car as a result of wind resistance slowing you down. You can safely jump inside of a plane or train without being slammed back provided the train/plane does not suddenly change its velocity.

The balloon metaphor is flawed because you are still on earth. The gravity of the entire planet overpowers the gravity of the balloon. If you were to travel to interstellar space, where there is nothing but one or two hydrogen atoms every few cubic meters, then the tiny shred of paper would indeed stick to the balloon. Ignoring the issue that the balloon would pop in outer space.

The notion of people in australia is also nonsensical. In space, there is no "up" or "down". From australia's point of view, the united states is at the bottom of the world. "north" and "south" are arbitrary designations. A coin has "heads", and "tails", but what about a coin that is completely blank? how do you tell "heads" from "tails"?

wake me when you people have something that wasn't said in the first three pages. It's all been debunked, but atheists don't seem capable of reading

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

I provide an example you can try for yourself, and this stuff can hardly be debunked. O_o Unless you are prepared to claim that "2 + 2 = 4" has also been debunked.

I read an article recently about a radio host who had a caller claiming that obama caused the Sandy Hook shooting so he could get reelected. The radio host politely informed the called that Sandy Hook happened AFTER the election, to which the caller replied "That's just your opinion".

That is what it feels like right now. I am presenting objective facts but you are dismissing them. Ah well.

Is there an edit button? I don't want to double post but I want to edit a post I made to provide someone with a link. In the "E=mc^2 is a hoax" thread.

You say anyone who doesn't believe your stupid theories are Atheists and that we can't read but when we actually provide you with evidence you skip straight past it I think it is you that isn't reading things

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

ok, here's on that I don't understand about the earth being flat. A couple of years ago I was in Abu Dhabi with friends

We had decided to rent a couple of buggies for the day and headed off into the desert- it was flat as far as they eye could see, no hills, no valleys, just miles and miles of flat sand.

One of the locals we were with ( our guide to keep us from getting too lost) decided to show us a trick, he stopped his buggy and called us over. He then showed us a mirror, and proceeded to use it to flash the sunlight at us (it was very very bright) he told us to drive on about a mile, then stop and call him on his mobile phone, and he would flash us with the mirror. we agreed to do this and set off. we stopped about a mile ahead and called back, sure enough we saw his flash- he repeated the instruction and told us to go on another mile and repeat the process. the same again we saw the flash. We did this another 5 times (we saw the flash 7x in total, so we were maybe 7 miles distant) but the 8th time we stopped and called back we say no flash! When the guide caught back up to us he explained that we had passed a point at which we can see in a straight line due to the curvature of the earth, and were unable to see his final flash.

this is something that I have seen with my own eyes that would suggest that the world is indeed not flat but round.

Well if you saw it with your own eyes, then it must be real!

Of course this guy couldn't be messing with you, could he. Nah, better to trust a camel jockey than the LORD creator of EVERYTHING!

If you were 8 miles away, how do you know what he was doing?

So why don't a few of you repeat this experiment and see what happens surely you won't lie to one and other after all lying is a sin.

For one reason, I don't want to go to Abu Dhabi. Second reason, I'm busy enough raising 5 children and trying to save them from the likes of you. I'm not going off on some fools errand when I already know God's truth.

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

For one reason, deep down I know there's something to it but I've spent so much of my life following orders blindly I'm afraid of the truth

Finally the truth comes out

You do realize that people can still see what I typed, right?

Unlike you, I do have a BSc. I also know from my studies that the more you looked into any science, the more the scientists would actually admit that they really don't know what they're talking about.

None of your damn business.

Or do you want me to give you my mothers maiden name and my SSN as well?
