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

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.

So you prefer to believe the wafflings of secular school science drivel, which is always ONLY THEORY and Hypotheses, over the Word Of TRUTH, being the KJV1611!

Are you mad!?

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

I would just like to point out a few things.

1) Actually, if you're standing in the bed of a truck and jump up in the air, you will land right back down in the bed of the truck. Before you jump, both you and the truck are moving at the same speed in the same direction. If you jump straight up in the air, perpendicular to the direction the truck is traveling, your horizontal motion won't be affected and you'll land in the truck. You might move a little bit because of the wind resistance, but that's only because the air isn't moving 75 mph relative to the truck.

2) Additionally, the earth is revolving around the Sun at approximately 60,000 mph, but we can't feel that either.

3) A balloon filled with air is actually much closer in weight to a tiny scrap of paper than the earth is to a human. Estimating their weights, we can assume that a balloon filled with air is approximately a gram. If you were able to tear of an extremely tiny scrap of paper, it could weight between one tenth and one hundredth of a gram. So a balloon is probably at most 100 times heavier than the scrap of paper. However, the mass of the earth is about 10^24 kilograms, while an average adult male weighs approximately 87 kilograms. This mean the earth is about 10^24 times the weight of an adult male. This explains why we as humans are stuck on the ground, while a piece of paper is not stuck to a balloon: the force between the paper and the balloon is infinitesimally small compared to the force between the paper and the earth, which is why the paper falls to the earth instead of being stuck to the balloon.

4) If the earth was flat, you actually wouldn't be able to see more and more the higher you got, unless you could get incredibly high up. If the earth was flat, there is a 90 degree drop off at the edge, and you wouldn't be able to see that, unless you were so high that you could stare straight at it. However, if the earth is round, as you go higher, the horizon, or the point that's as far as you can see, gradually expands. This actually does happen, which is why we can tell the earth is round.

It appears you have not read the whole thread. You will see what you saying is incorrect.

Could you explain to me how I'm incorrect? I'm just wondering.

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

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.

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

That wasn't really a cock-a-mamie idea, it's actually quite logically correct.

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

Read the thread.

I will be honest, I have not read all 107 pages of the thread, but it seems every where I look there are people not believing logical arguments. Now, I commend people for sticking up for what they believe in, but I cannot possibly understand why people refuse to believe a logical, cogent argument for why the earth is a sphere.

At least you admit to being lazy in not reading the entire thread. Better than most atheists. The earth being a sphere is totally illogical and goes against how God created everything.

Yet it somehow agrees with every scientific observation we as humanity have made. Strange huh?

So you have noticed the Bible is correct when talking about the earth being flat.

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

Before I realized this is a bunch of fake crap I was really about to have some words...

As we all know, if you stand up in a moving bus and you jump, you still land in the same place as well. You land in the same place because you are already traveling at the same velocity as the bus.

Sorry I was an astrophysics minor in college, it was hurting my brain not to say SOMETHING....

Very true. The spherical earth theory is a load of rubbish. It is amazing how people fall for such superstitious nonsense.

Scientific "observation", based on what it is "assumed" to be, by people who want to wilfully defy God. There is no absolute truth in secular science, unlike the ABSOLUTE TRUTH of the Word of God.

As Sister Lisa said, at least you were willing to admit to your failings and for that I have to give you a little credit.
