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

How can we know for sure who wrote the bible?

By reading the Bible.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

How can we know for sure who wrote the bible?

• Over 10,000 predictions that have come true?
• The fact that if Jesus hadn't of risen, the 12 apostles would have probably disbanded and gone their separate ways.
• The conversion of Paul
• The Jews (although they only follow the OT and have turned it into a sort of game)
• The archeological evidence

Care to point out any other book that has that kind of evidence to support it is the Word of God?

yeah sure, the I Ching,
Searching for the I-Ching prophecies, which is also known as the “Book of Changes”, has been quite a tedious task for archaeologists. Dating back to 3000 B.C., the I-Ching prophecies were written by a Chinese Emperor concerning the future. In reality, the I-Ching prophecies are based on probability; by tossing three coins. Nevertheless, these prophecies have been proven accurate due to the prediction of certain events that have taken place already, such as World War I and II, and the fall of the Roman Emperor.

it may not say it is the word of God but its predictions are more substantial than the bibles.
by the way, no one follows the bible completely, its impossible to follow it word for word. no man is perfect other than Jesus who apparently was.

can you give some examples of major events the bible predicted?

Really? You're comparing fortune telling to the Holy Bible? How do you know the I-Ching is accurate? Do you read ancient Chinese?

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

its been translated into English, just like the bible. its predictions have come true, not all of them, but many.

have all the bibles predictions come true? no...
have a ton? not really...
if you would please give some examples of how Im wrong, I will change my opinion.

Uh.... you know I've looked up the I-Ching stuff and all I find is a bunch of fortune telling sites, which is evil and sinful. I'm sorry, but what proof do you have of this. It doesn't predict anything more than a fortune cookie.

Also there are many people who have the knowledge to read the ancient Hebrew and Greek texts.

Like any other atheist, you don't think twice about lying in order to try and drag people to Hell with you.

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

I am pretty sure this thread is supposed to be about the glorious flatness of Earth. Why are we talking about some crazy Chinese hocus pocus garbage?

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

Wow, really? Ridiculous, might as well get started... (If you want a shorter version skip to the last paragraph)

Now, every bit of matter has mass, and the more mass you have, the larger the gravitational pull. Now, the diameter of the earth at the equator is 7,926.41 miles. Now the diameter of the earth from pole to pole is 7,901 miles. Which means that the earth is 25 miles wider than it is tall. This occurs because when an object is rotating the matter in it tends to want to move outward, just like if you spin as fast as you can with your arms stretched outward you can feel a slight tug on them. The same thing occurs to the earth, the equator is 25 miles wider because the matter inside wants to get out. Now how does it not fly apart? Because we know that gravity keeps the matter inward, along with centrifugal force (the same reason why roller coaster don't fall off loops). We know that gravity exists because the tides are affected by the moon's gravitational pull (that and the fact that we stick to the ground), the water tends to pull in the moon's direction when that side of the earth faces it, causing low tide. When we're not facing the moon, the tides flow back in. Now the source of gravity is at its center of an objects mass, which is why the oceans don't flow to one spot, because it is being pulled towards the core. This also keeps us from floating off the earth at certain locations. Now, the reason why a piece of paper does not stick to a balloon, (provided static electricity does not interfere) is because of two reason:

1. The balloon has an extremely small amount of mass compared to the earth, (we're talking off the scale of known numbers) and that the earth's own gravitational pull is much much higher than the resistance from the air and the balloon's own miniscule amount gravity (Much much too small to even detect) to hold the piece of paper there.

2. We cannot fall off the earth even if gravity did not exist, because there would have to be something pulling us away from the earth. (gravity) We would simply float away.

Now, your plane experiment is false too, because you CAN see the curvature of the earth. However, it is difficult to observe the curvature at sea level because the earth curves about 8 inches per mile, (this obviously differs from terrain to terrain, but the natural ground level curves this way) which means if you could see 1,000 miles away, then that would only be about 83.3 feet lower than where you are standing. (on average)

However, the curvature of the earth can be observed when watching a ship go out to sea. It appears to sink below the horizon, and when it returns it appears to rise, this is because our vision travels in a straight line. So when a ship reaches the horizon, (the spot where the earth curves out of sight) the ship disappears, because it has gone below your line of sight. (Or vice versa) So if you were standing at the center line, your line of sight would be line d2. H is the horizon, (the picture is not to scale, of course) so as the boat travels away from you it will gradually appear to sink until it disappears, thus passing line H. If the earth were flat you would be able to see the boat reach it's destination, (Unless the distance is so great that it shrink too small to be seen) along with its destination.

1. Grab a flashlight.

2. Go to a table.

3. From a couple of feet above the table, shine the flashlight straight down on one end.

4. Move the flashlight horizontally across the table to the other end.

5. Turn off the flashlight.

6. Repeat.

the sun is 100x larger than the earth, a flashlight is smaller than a table.
ill fix your experiment...

1. turn on the overhead light
2. look at the table
3. turn off the light
4. run to your room crying in embarrassment
