Isaiah 22:17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. 18He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
19And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.



Notice it's not 'they will drop'. No they are being intelligently pulled by the Lord,

I thank you for your service, but I still disagree with you. God is on our side friend, He will assure us of victory. If you oppose Him, you'll be swept aside like so much chaff in the wind. The Lord is kind to those that serve Him, but He is merciless to those that dare stand against Him.

So which is it son, are you with God, or against Him?

It makes perfect sense. if there is nothing to get in the way (this includes air resistance) nothing is slowing down the object, so it would fall as fast as possible.

Both at the same speed?

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

If the earth is flat then why haven't people found the edge and fallen off? Why can many different people sail all the way around the globe without falling off??? What about Christopher Columbus? He saw a ship coming in and watched it get bigger and bigger as it came up over the horizon and not straight towards him. How do we fly all the way around and make it back to the same place? What is on the bottom of the earth then? The earth is round, gravity is real. God is the one that gave us this round earth.

Yes. its like how if you take two sheets of plywood, one with a 10 kg weight on it and one with a 50 kg weight on it, and drop them from a high place. The heavier one will land first cause the weight forces it through the air faster, But if there is no air at all it makes no difference how much either of them weight cause nothing it slowing them down.

God is the one that gave us this round earth.

Glad we agree on something then. Round = circle, not spherical.

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:

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

OK, let me please break down all three of these things and prove them wrong with basic common sense.

1) You would not fall out of the truck, especially if there was no wind (unless you jump yourself out of the truck bed). It's basic physics; an object in motion stays in motion. Before you jump, you may be sitting in the truck not moving YOURSELF, BUT you are moving 75 mph with the truck. It is a fact. You are not still. When you jump, you do not suddenly stop going 75 mph with the truck. You are, in fact, jumping 75 mph. So that theory is irrelevant and can go out the window. PLEASE ignore it, it does not make any sense.

2) This is a very strange two-dimensional perspective of the sphere. If you can imagine a sphere being similar to a peach, with no top or bottom, with a core in the center, it resembles the Earth. So now you have an accurate picture of the Earth. There is a center. If you stuck pins all around the peach, pointing to the core, similar to a pin cushion, the pins would represent the direction gravity hits the earth.

The Northern Hemisphere is not the "top" of the earth, it is only one side. Gravity is pulled equally, everywhere on the Earth.

3) If the Earth was, in fact, flat, and you were at the top of the 3rd largest structure in the world, the Guyed Mast in Blanchard, North Dakota, you would be able to see the entire world. You would not be able to. Like going to the top of any building over the line of trees, or "Skyscrapers", you would be able to see EVERYTHING if the world was flat. You cannot. Look up pictures on google images.

I have good eye sight, I can easily see something a few hundred yards a way. If its a five or six miles away then it's hard but I can just about make it out. You seriously expect that you could see something thousands of miles away??

You are deluded.

Even with a high powered telescope you would not be able to see everything because the world is a sphere. Stop making up excuses to counter an argument you can't win.

Well duh, there are trees and mountains. Once beyond that, the edges of the firmament.

Friend, we do not 'win' arguments, nor do we have arguments. We discuss Gods word. The Bible is a factual book of information left for us by God.

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

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You have got to be kidding me!? People seriously still believe that the world is flat!? Ohh boy :') this just made my day. What a hilarious thing to wake up to in the morning.

Okay, so let me help you out really quick. I guess I'm sort of re posting what the previous guy said before me, but I'll make it just a tad bit more clear for you all to be able to understand.

1. The whole jumping thing killed me, when I was 5 years old I figured this one out. Jump on the ground you don't move, simple enough. I jumped and landed in the exact same spot. Now lets say you're going 75mph in the bed of a truck and you jump. Of course you're not going to land in the same spot in the truck there's a variable that you didn't account for "wind speed". Put some serious thought into this really quick, it's not that difficult to understand. What would happen if you jumped while there was 75mph wind blowing at you? You definitely wouldn't land in the exact same spot you jumped. So how do we eliminate this variable for the truck jumping experiment? Simple get in a van! Somewhere where there isn't going to be any wind to slow you down when you jump. What happens when you jump in the back of a van? You land in the same spot. Oh, you know what. Lets make this even easier. If anyone has ever flown in a plane what happens when you jump while you're in an airplane? You don't go flying to the back do ya? NOOOO, you land in the same spot!

Okay, so there is your #1 disproved. If you really want me to I can link youtube videos showing all of this.

2. Blow. That title doesn't make any sense. Anywhoo moving on now. You asked why people don't fall off the earth that are under the equator? There is a lot for you to learn here. First of all the earth doesn't necessarily have a top or bottom. It has a North and a South. However neither one is the top, it just so happened that when maps where drawn they placed North at the top and South at the bottom. Now lets continue, this one is going to be a little confusing when I explain it, but if you open your mind to a tiny bit of thinking this should all make perfect sense Gravity is REAL. Weather you want to believe it or not, its real. Objects attract, larger masses have more gravitational pull then smaller objects do. Keep that last thing i said glued in your mind for a minute. LARGER MASSES HAVE MORE GRAVITATIONAL PULL THEN SMALLER OBJECTS. So how come we "stick" to the surface of the earth if it's round. Simple gravity since objects attract. Now you may ask, how come my little piece of paper didn't stick to the balloon? The earth has more gravitational pull then a balloon does so the piece of paper is pulled towards the earth instead of staying on the bottom of the balloon. The earth is immensely bigger then a little tiny balloon. I can go into further detail but of course you would need at least a somewhat basic understanding of space and your basic scientific knowledge to have any of this stuff make sense to you all. Let me also add something, if the world was flat (which it isn't) what is it that's holding you to the ground? How come when you jump in the air you don't keep flying higher and higher and higher. What goes up must come down (unless you jump with enough force that you escape the earths gravity and continue into space, then you will keep going in that direction forever, or until you run into something or come close enough to a large mass and get pulled to it by it's gravity.)

3. Get High! Okay, sounds simple enough. Lets go get in a plane and take a look at the earth. Weird, the higher you go the easier it is to see over objects. Well yes that's true since in order to see over something you have to be up higher then it. What does that have to do with "proving the earth is flat"? Take a good look next time you get in a plane. Look at the earth itself, when flying over America you can't see Europe. Well why not? If the earth was flat you would be able to see it since you would be higher then anything in the world. Wanna know why you can't see Europe? It's because the earth is a sphere. If you look at a basketball you can't see the other side of it, just like no matter how high in the air you get, you will never be able to see the other side of the world. Lets go ahead and add a little bit more to this one. When in a plane and you're looking out the window, take a good look at the earth itself. You'll notice that the horizon is dome shaped. Interesting isn't it, you can see the shape of the earth when you're up there. Remember one thing about this, the earth is HUGE!!! I mean absolutely HUGE!!! So you need to pay attention when looking at the horizon to really see the shape of it because you're only able to see a very small portion of the earth.

Well, that's all 3 of your experiments. And guess what, not one of them proved the earth was flat. Yet, there are several things that prove the world is round. Such as pictures. Ever heard of satellite tv? You do know what that is right? There is a satellite in space orbiting the earth, as in it's going around the earth's spherical shape. OOOHHH this is a really easy one to prove the earth is a sphere, what happens when you get on a plane leaving America flying to japan? You fly west and end up at japan. Okay, now what happens when you get on a plane in Japan and fly to somewhere in Europe? You fly west and you end up in Europe. Hmm now stay focused for me for just a few more seconds. What happens when someone in Europe wants to fly to America? They fly West! Wow, combine all three flights and you just flew around the world. Well that's odd, what happens when you go in one direction on a flat object? You fall of the end of it! You don't end up back where you started silly goose.



Why do some many Christians live stuck in the past? What's wrong with learning about the universe? What's so wrong with learning things about science? You use it every single day! You use science while at church every time you light a candle, every time a key on the piano is played, every time you speak, everything you do is related to science. EVERYTHING!

And don't take this as an attack towards Christianity. Believe what you want to believe. Just don't go trying to disprove solid facts with little experiments that are flawed beyond belief.
