Honestly, they learn kids nothing at schools today.

Well, evidently they didn't "learn" you anything at your school either.

I think young lady you have been swanning around here long enough flouting the rules.

I was just checking your profile and you have yet to make an introduction.

Kindly head over to our INTRODUCTION FORUM and do so immediately and make it a PROPER introduction.

Failure to do so, can and WILL impede on your posting rights.

Of course not! I never went to school as I am home schooled.

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

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.


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,

Rev. Jim Osborne

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

Sigh. What part are you struggling with?

With that maniacal laughing Brother, I'd say he struggles with reality.


Throw in Rev. Jim's obvious scientific prowess and reproof of God's word... is it no wonder it's LOST on him.

Proverbs 18:2

2A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

AND

Proverbs 1:22-31

22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

23Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

24Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.


I wonder if he will be laughing when hellfire is lapping at his loins.

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

I challenge all of you to consider the following:

Despite the horribly amateur understanding of physics being displayed thus far towards "proving" this argument, most (if not all) of the people who actually believe the notion that the Earth is flat are themselves proving that the Earth is round on a daily basis. But for the sake of helping those of you who are unfortunately so confused that you can't accept something so simple and universally proven, here's a new "experiment" for you.

I ask, how many of the people here who believe that the Earth is flat have a GPS in their car or have a subscription to a service like DirectTV? The reason I ask is the same reason why the Earth CANNOT by any possibility be flat: satellites in geosynchronous orbit. These devices that so many of you might take for granted work by communicating with a number of satellites simultaneously over parabolic (curved) trajectories. The curvature of the planet is what keeps these countless satellites in a stable orbit around the planet. If the Earth was flat, the simple truth is that this basic principle would not work. Your GPS wouldn't be able to pinpoint your location, satellite television broadcasts wouldn't transmit properly, satellite phones wouldn't work and the satellites themselves would be constantly falling from the sky.

The proof is in your own homes, folks.

Sorry to disappoint you. Have you ever seen a GPS with round maps. Thats right, all the maps on the GPS are flat, just like the earth.

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

Actually, most modern GPS devices have horizon curvature, but the animated representation on the screen of the device itself has nothing to do with the fact that the satellites in orbit only work because of their parabolic, geosynchronous trajectories. I can understand your confusion here, but what you're suggesting here is, logically speaking, the same as suggesting that because a photograph taken of an individual is itself "flat", the actual person must then themselves be flat.

I hope this clears up any confusion!

I have a GPS and it definitely flat. No the unit is not curved. Also all maps are flat. Why do you have to believe the earth has to be round just because there a satellites.

See the unit is flat and so are the maps.

I'm sorry that you seem to misunderstand, but I'll try to clarify again. Here's a helpful thought experiment:

The photograph of the GPS device that you posted -- that is a flat image. Is your GPS flat as well? Are all photographed objects flat in reality? No, this is not the case, as I'm sure you know. This is a similar principle in thought to what I'm hoping to explain.

I also have a question that will either be answered or will hopefully allow you to understand why you are incorrect and why the Bible is not a valid source of scientific evidence:

The Bible is supposed to be the infallible word of God, correct? Then why does it contradict itself on this subject? Here are two passages that clearly conflict with one another:

Revelation 7:1:
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

Isaiah 40:22:
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Circles do not have corners! Thus, the earth is spherical, and the Bible is false.

I hope this helps!

Like I said, my GPS is flat. The screen is flat and so are the maps.

Photos don't make things flat. That would be silly. Since I have had my photo taken many times, using your logic I would now be flat. I am not flat.

Have you ever seen a square compass? All the compasses I have seen are in a circle. The needle points to the north. If the earth was a sphere it would not be able to point north.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. If the GPS was flat and the Bible was truth, there wouldn't be athiests or a spherical Earth. But they exist, and they are SCIENTIFICALLY proven! God has allowed the Earth to be a sphere and not flat, and if you try to refute that, then you are being ungodly. You can't argue these facts.

I hope this helps!

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

Since you are so woefully inept at True Science™, I will provide you with one of my teaching aides from my homeschooling curricula for sophomore-level Creation Science.

And I leave you with the following verse of Scripture, that you may realize that your occultic "science" is nothing more than a deception perpetrated upon you by the minions of hell. True Science™ brings us closer to the the LORD, not further away from His Truth.

I Timothy 6:20
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

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

I'm sorry, sir, but you have been misinformed by satan and his minions. God has allowed science and the sphere Earth to exist, which makes them good and true and of his creation. Since you are denying this, I can only pray that God can deliver you from these wicked, pagan beliefs in a false, flat Earth. I believe you have a true heart for Christ but you need to use your head and stop falling for Satan's tricks!

I will pray for you and pray that you will leave these sinful, false idol ideas behind!
