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

Oh wow...The point isn't the difference between the length of the line...

I'll clarify it.

On the left you've got the sun, which rays are parallel when they come to Earth (as the sun is far far away, a small deviation would make the ray miss earth by thousands miles)

Here the sun is on the left, earth on the right.

The comparison is not the length of the rays...It's the comparison between their impact area on earth. You can see that near the equatorial area the CD line (line between point C and D...) is small compared to the AB line.
The lines I'm talking about are highlit in orange.

Therefore, the CD area will be much warmer than the AB one, because of more energy per square kilometer (or square mile, whatever)

If gravity makes things fall down, then anything on the bottom of a spherical earth will fall off.

Gravity doesn't make things fall down. It makes them come towards the center of earth. Whether you're in the USA or in Australia, stuff will fall on the ground.

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

Woops, mistake in the [img] thingy



So I'll develop it a bit...Here the earth is represented as round. As the same number of solar rays (well, infrared rays, those heat us up) heat a small area, it's hot. However if the same amount of infrared rays heat a larger area (antartic per example), it will be colder. That's how it is in reality, right? right.

Howevever if earth was flat, as shown in this pic:



Every country of earth would be heated equally, which would mean no temperature difference between north and east. There'd also be no season. If you don't believe in the season thing I can easily make another drawing too.

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

Mr. Mcgrath, I understand what you ar trying to say but your logic is horribly flawed. You are correct in that the further the rays of the sun have to go, the less energy they have. But that is only a small part of the equation. You need to factor in God. God controls day and night. He manages what light we get. He makes days become cloudy. He provides an abundance of sun to the US of A as it is his Favorite Country®. He provides even more and no water to Africa to bake the nigras. He provides only water to the poles to eliminate those waste lands.
Now, here is the basic logic fault you made. The sun is not that big. Haven't you ever looked up in the sky? The sun is tiny compared to the Earth.

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

Mr Hutchins, how can you be so sure the sun is smaller than Earth?

Look out of your window. Can you see a car 100 meters away?How big does it appear to be?
If you were to compare its size with a mobile phone you're holding in your hand, the mobile phone would actually be bigger than the car you see far away.

However, is the car really smaller than your phone? I doubt so. It seems logical for you because you know any car would be bigger than your phone.

Same thing with the sun.

Hey boy, what church do you attend? I'm wondering where you get these cock-a-mamie ideas from.

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

What church I attend is irrelevant to the discussion. (debate actually, as you're merely denying my arguments with the reason that yours are the truth)

And my "cockamamie" ideas are actually facts. Test it out for yourself.

If I say doxa, sophia, theoria, does it ring a bell?

Well, you're all stuck in the doxa level.

Sophia you haven't reached
Theoria you will never reach.

A Porsche looks like a Porsche no matter the distance. Yes, it appears smaller.
But lets use your logic. You logic says if I look at my car at 100 meters (about 330 feet), it is the size of my cell phone (about 6 inches), but up close, it is about 700 inches long, a change of over 116 times in size.
I look up at the sun, it is about 1 inch across. I go up a 700 foot hill. You know what, the sun is still about the size of a nickel, 1 inch. Based on your insane logic, it should be over 300 inches across!
I suggest you get back on the turnip truck you fell off of.

See above. Simple tests even YOU can try. You have provided no facts where as we have provided irrefutable ones time and time again, ones that anyone can easily test. Your 'facts' are all based on theories, guesses of wild haired mad 'scientists'.

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

All your "scientific experiences" are a joke to science. They've been demonstrated to be completely false in the hundred pages of this thread.

Back to "my" experience. You seem to forget the distance between earth and the sun. You could get 2km high it's still incredibly tiny compared to the distance between us and the sun.

So if you'd get closer to it, it indeed would appear bigger, but the difference would be so tiny it'd go unoticed.

And those "guesses" you say I have are all backed up by mathematics.
If you went to school maybe you'd have learned them and found out they work all the time.

Example:

An ice cube detaches itself from a roof 15,0 meters high. g=9.81 N.kg^-1.

How long would it take to hit the ground?

I can accurately say it will take 1.75s to hit it.

And oh what a surprise!That's exactly how long it takes to fall in reality.

How can my formulas be wrong then? If those ones are true, why wouldn't other formulas be true?

And my formulas show that earth can be nothing but round.

Tell me an experiment you find to be the most representative of the earthisflat theory and I'll demonstrate how it's wrong.

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

Blah blah. According to your so called "science", 96% of the "universe's" matter is missing. The little Einstein Joo noticed too, so he bodged his theory. He even ADMITTED doing that.

You did know that, right?

Come back when you can explain this, OK, mister "science" big shot!

How long would it take to hit the ground?

About as long as it would take your behind to hit the rock bottom of Hell. No time or space warping there!

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

My oh my, when the simple truths are put in your lap about the relationship between the Sun and the Earth, you turn to dropping ice cubes??? Admit you have nary a clue, you'll look less like the fool you are.

Tell me, who measured the distance between the Earth and the Sun? Was it actually measured or did some one guess/calculate based on some unprovable theorem?
The actual distance is a known fact. And I confirmed it is not that far, nor that big, using your own methodologies. When I did so, you turn around and say I was wrong? If I were wrong, then you were wrong.
Truth be told, the only person that knows is God, and He has told us everything in the KJV Bible. You know friend, before you go off spouting such nonsense, you really need to sit down and read the Good Book™.

You say that you can prove the earth is a sphere. So far you have not managed to convince anyone.

Going back to your AB & CD lines, it still does not prove the earth is a sphere. You even discredit you own theory by saying it does not matter how far away the sun and earth are. Here is a simple experiment. Light a candle, stand arm lengths away. Do you feel any heat. Now put your finger right next to the flame. Your finger will start to feel warm, leave it there to long and it will burn.

Now you are trying to say rocks and feathers fall at the same speed. What would you rather fall on you, a rock or a feather.

I only want to see your point of view and how you came to the conclusion that the Earth is flat, because the 3 reasons in the first post make no sense to me and I can easily refute them using an elementary school education.

First of all, this is NOT a debate forum. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

Secondly, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated.

Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome .


Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.
