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

Uh, no, due to law of interia, jumping up while in the truck will result in you continuing to move forward until a force acts on you to stop. Law of interia, a proven fact. I don't have a big truck to try the experiment, but I've done it in a moving car. Toss a ball straight up, it comes back straight down to my hand. You can say all you want about how you're right, and I'm wrong, but doing this experiment WILL prove the law of interia, and thus show that the result will be as I've stated.
The result that you say occurs I guess is the result solely because you say it's so. Your result cannot be reproduced, as it's incorrect.
Love the way you say that I've responded with an effort of reasonable intelligence, then go on to say I'm making excuses that makes no sense to an intelligent person. So basically you're calling me stupid. Awsome! Sorry, but you are the one making no sense.
This whole thing has become a mental, emotional workout. Sort of like trying to tell someone who says 2 + 2 = 5 that the sum of 2 and 2 is actually 4. They go on and on about how they are correct, and it then becomes futile to even address the issue any more. So, thanks for the mental, emotional workout...it's been fun. However, we are done.

Jeff, that makes no sense. Do you even read (or have someone read it to you) what you write?
How does jumping up move you forward? Then landing on the floor of the truck, stops your forward motion?
You make claims and at the same time, are unwilling to prove those claims. You cannot just make things up and claim it is so.

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

Gee, thanks for the insult! The funny thing is, you are the idiot! The 8 inches per mile comes from applying the math of a right triangle, specifically Pythagoras Theorem. You know, the old 'a' squared plus 'b' squared equals 'c squared? The Earth's radius is 3963 miles. I won't bore you with the details, as a simple Google search on "earth curvature Pythagorean theorem" will yield the math I am eluding to. Point is, if you plug in a 1 mile distance, you get an 8 inch drop. However, if you go out 10 miles, it works out to a 66 foot drop, NOT the 80 inches that you would be expecting. You need to understand simple geometry. Google it, get your brain wrapped around the simple math of a right triangle, and I bet even you could figure it out.


But then again, no, it doesn't matter, as based on your overly insulting, stupid world, a person who does not accept god is basically a useless idiot, and you feel fine in throwing insults and belittling them. It's people like you with your attitude that makes me feel better about being an atheist.


If you want to prove a point, then simply make your point. I have NEVER insulted anyone here, yet some of you can do nothing but insult me. What's the point? Maybe the idea of this forum is really to just see how many insults one can throw at another...to see just how much one can put down and berate another. Awesome! I guess you've won in the insult department. Congratulations! It's a game I just assume not be best at.


I'll go have a chat with my grandchildren, who are 7 and 9 years old, so that I can experience a higher level of maturity than I could ever expect from you!

Do you have any idea how incredibly dim witted you come across? Not believing on God puts you on the lower end of the iq scale, but the things you write here makes me doubt if you actually have an iq at all. I understand explaining things to you is like explaining 2 and 2 is 4, and not five, even though you are convinced your secular school teachers told you it was 5. I will try anyway.

If earth's curve only drops 8in per mile, then a 25000mi circumference ball earth drops 100 000in in half that, after that it had to go up again. 100 000in is just a mile and a half, do you seriously believe earth is a 1.5 mile diameter ball? No of course not, you are just so brainwashed you never checked your numbers. Let's use the Bible to see if we can prove you wrong about the earth being a 1.5 mile ball.

2 Chronicles 4:2 and 1 Kings 7:23 explain that circumference is 3.00000 times the diameter. Using the God-given formula on your numbers say that a 1.5 mile diameter earth should have a 4.5 mile circumference. I have walked farther than that! Also 4.5 miles doesn't match the 25 000 number you forced us to use earlier, proving that earth cannot possibly be a ball. You have never checked the "facts" you try to cram down our throats. Either every mile drops two thirds of a mile, and a 20 foot swimming pool would have a 7 foot bulge in the center or earth is flat. Test that fact, check any swimming pool you like, or admit you are wrong about the earth being a ball, something directly contradicting the Bible.

Gee, weren't you supposed to get lost already?

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

Ah yes, yet another insult! Cute the way you put "long meaningless rant" in there...gotta get that last twist of the knife in there...good going!

Yeah, I'm done. You know how I know that you people are full of crap! He told me! He told me he loves atheists too. He loves people that actually use their God given brains to think, and not believe a bunch of crap written by a bunch of heathens thousands of years ago. Yep, he told me that! He's proud of the fact that I think for myself, and am not being a sheep, following the dribble of what the ancient people wrote about him that is all totally wrong! Yep! He told me that it was all indeed made up in order to control the masses! Amazing, huh!

Though he told me too that those that follow the bible and draw from it compassion, love, and a desire to understand their fellow man...well...that was OK too. Using your God given brain to understand the world, be it thru the bible or thru logic and science, is all good. It's the heathens that read the bible and put themselves up on a pedestal, thinking they are better than everyone else...those are the ones he loathes.
So yeah, go ahead, throw your insults at me left and right! God told me he deals to like that. Guess you'll deal with that some day.
Hopefully not for a long time though, as I'm sure, underneath all that hate and desire to insult an innocent person, you are good!

OK, so now let the infractions fly at me! Who the F cares at this point.

Who did tell you all that, sweetie? Hint: that voice you hear in your head, that's just your schizophrenia talking. Take your meds and it'll go away!

Using your God given brain to understand the world, be it thru the bible or thru logic and science, is all good. It's the heathens that read the bible and put themselves up on a pedestal, thinking they are better than everyone else...those are the ones he loathes.

Why would God allow humans to create the Bible in the first place, if that were true?

Don't you think it would be a very cruel God, one that would create a Book filled with Laws and Rules that He doesn't really want people to follow?

So yeah, go ahead, throw your insults at me left and right! God told me he deals to like that.

Take your meds. And don't buy any guns.

You've said bye about 10 times already; poop or get off the potty.



Shame you haven't been able to support your rantings with Scripture...sucks to be doomed to an Eternity of Perdition!

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

Dear Jeff,

You really do not seem to understand what you are demanding.

Your visions and opinions may be based on your observations or the observations of automatic data processing computers. However, they are totally subjective! Why? Because accepting them would cause an unacceptable collapse of everything! Everything that is solid, dear and keeps to world coherent and understandable.

If the world and the general populace accepted your views, God would become unreliable. Please remember that we are discussing the most pivotal aspects of the material world: the shape of the Earth, the Firmament (Genesis 1:6), the Foundations (Psalms 104:5) of this solid place upon which we live! If God were incapable of reporting the shape of His Creation in a reliable manner, why should we trust Him when it comes to the aspects of Salvation, Adam and Eve, Noah's Flood? They would all become unreliable.

There is a difference between scientific data and Real data™. Scientific data are stochastic and statistical. An anomalous result can be just an error in measurement or random quantum fluctuations. No reason for alarm. God's data are unchanging and permanent.

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Malachi 3:6
For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Revelation 1:8
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

You are suggesting that we discard an apparently tiny bit of the Bible for your observations. This tiny bit is all that it takes to collapse Biblical reliability. If God could not tell us the shape of the Earth, how could He tell us if Jesus is real, if there was a Resurrection, if there is Eternal Life? The same occurs if we accept only the parts of the Bible that seem "nice" to you. If God did not mean it when He said the verse as follows...

Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

...why should we trust His promise of Conditional Love and Eternal Life in Jesus either?

God tells the Truth™ or everything becomes volatile and insecure. Why do you want that? The decades of precious Bible Study that we have conducted would have to be discarded. Fortunately we know better. We keep our promise and never doubt the Lord and His Word. You cannot make us insecure. That is deception (Jeremiah 4:10). It is a test and I pass the test.

I remain in Jesus.



Yours in Christ,

Elmer

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

The curvature of the earth equates to a drop of only 8 inches per mile, so no curvature would not be noticeable of something so small as a swimming pool.

So if I measure my height in my home (6'4") and then go to the store (about a mile away) I'm suddenly 5'8"?

What are you smoking, young lad?

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

Jeff, it is my honor to award you the prize for unsaved trash who threatened to leave the most times without actually leaving. It is called the "All Dressed Up With No Place To Go" award and you are to put it on your headstone when you pass. Actually, someone else will have to put it on, as you will be swimming in the Lake of Fire and unavailable for stone carving. In California, where you reside, this would probably be considered quite an honor and if you play your cards right, the other heathens will let you be in the Rose Parade.

[James Hutchins]

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

Jeff, I see you managed to gloss over (like so many false Christians do) the irrefutable facts I gave you. I simplified them enough that your grand kids can explain it to you.
I just pray your warped view of the world does influence them and they become capable of thinking freely on their own about religion.

Jeff, you sound stressed.

I don't believe anyone told you any of these things. I believe you simply want them to be true, and so you tell them to yourself, and when you find events that seem to confirm these ideas, you convince yourself that's "proof."

May I suggest some time on your knees?

What a wonderful suggestion, Mrs. Etheldreda!
I would love to spend some one-on-one time with young Jeff here and give him the straight hard truths about God.
