Re: If the Earth is flat...



WRONG! The earth is flat because the Bible says so! Woo, God is great! That'll be science zero, the Bible a million. Nice sig, fool. You'll meet all your idols down in Hell. Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Kepler, Archimedes, Plato, Hawking, Sagan, Edison, Tesla, Darwin, they're all burning in Hell for denying Christ and undermining the Bible with their blasphemous falsehoods. Circumpolar constellations, my Aunt Fanny! Jesus ALWAYS wins.


What do you say to that?

Just because one book says so doesnt mean the THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of irrefutable evidence is wrong, you shouldnt staple yourself to one book, because anything can be wrong, even the bible. We make mistakes and thats ok.

[from hamdmaiden, "Centarus" and "Octans" sound like demon names. Please do not evoke them here.]

Octans is a nautical instrument for when sailors used the stars or The Sun to calculate their position on the Earth, it was pretty useful for when normal paper maps or compasses failed, maybe Noah used one on his ark before the albatross came to guide him, who knows.

Centaurus is from the mythical creature known as a Centaur in mythology. A Centaur is a human with a horses body, and was very successful in guiding troops to war or leading a fighting since they are noble and brave. Suprisingly, there are 2 centaurs in the sky, Centaurus and the zodiac constellation, Sagittarius, who weilds a bow and arrow and is in the Summer Constellations.


Circumpolar Constellations are constellation that never set or rise based on your location. For instance, in Los Angeles, Ursa Major (The Big Bear) and Cassiopeia (The Queen) are known as Circumpolar, since over the length of a night, they never set below the horizon because they are too close to the North Celestial Pole. In the south, Centaurus, Musca (The Fly) and Volans (The Flying Fish) never rise since they are too close to the South Celestial Pole. The rising and setting of stars is due to the counterclockwise rotation of the Earth. As the Earth rotates West to East, the starts move in the opposite direction, rising in the East and setting in the West. As the year goes on, different constellations are seen as the ones to the west go behind the Sun, and other Constellations are seen coming out from behind the sun, of course, this is due to perspective. The background stars stay stationary from space. As the Earth goes around in its orbit, the sun blocks certain constellations from the perspective of Earth. As a result, this created an imaginary band in the sky in which the sun goes through in the course of a year, known as the ecliptic. If youd like more information on the topic, I have a google document that im using for my notes, just ask to see!

Perhaps you could explain how Euclidian geometry works on a globe?

Now. Imagine them all looking at the constellation of Crux (look it up if you need to) they are all looking to Antarctica (aka the South celestial pole)

Antarctica is not in the sky.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

I'm using it as an example, I could use any circumpolar constellations, I just chose that one bc it's the brightest of them, but I can also use Centarus or Octans, but still, earth is round because those 3 people can see the same south, not different ones.

Dear Mr., Mrs., or Miss Iplaytf2;


"Centarus" and "Octans" sound like demon names. Please do not evoke them here.


And science does NOT rule. Jesus rules.








That is all.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

There are no "circumpolar" constellations. There are only constellations that are so far south that they're too small to see for the lands that God gave to White people, here in the North. That is why we can't see the Southern Cross or Octane (which I'm half convinced you just made up anyway). The Big Dipper is on the firmament of Heaven, which is about 400 miles away from central Iowa. Do you know the difference between 400 miles and more than 14,000 miles? You can't see anything that far away!

Re: If the Earth is flat...

That is a great constellation as it reminds us of Jesus dying for us on the cross.

Thank you for confirming Earth is flat. You won't believe the idiots claiming otherwise we sometimes get here.

Yes it just boggles the mind how absolutely unbelievably stupid a person would have to be to believe the earth is a globe. Psalms 14:1 tells the Atheists are fools. Fools! That means their beliefs are foolish, dumb, stupid, nonsensical. They're straight up mentally retarded if you ever actually listen to what these people believe. I'm so thankful I'm washed in the blood of Christ.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

Iplay, if you want to convince us that the world is round, all you need to do is to produce a Bible verse that says so. But you won't find it, because the Bible tells us that the Earth is flat:

Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth. Daniel 4:10-11

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Isaiah 4:12

Re: If the Earth is flat...

If you melt something down and make it a sphere then technically yes. But in Euclidean Geometry... no.

Is Euclid anyone mentioned in the Bible? If not, then she doesn't belong on this discussion board.

Re: If the Earth is flat...

You just proved a round earth. Those three points can look to the same place on a ROUND earth, but on a flat one, if you try to look at the same object in 3 completely different directions, you would not see the same thing, but you are still looking to antarctica

Re: If the Earth is flat...

Don't be silly. Do you really expect us to believe that in over ten years of discussing this topic on this thread alone, no one has noticed the earth has changed shapes? That's absurd. Once flat always flat.


I can stand in one corner of my kitchen making the coffee, my daughter can stand at the sink on the other end and clean the dishes while another daughter can be wiping the table down and we can all look up and see the same light fixture on the ceiling. We don't need to huddle all in the same place to see the same view.

I wonder dear, were you educated in a public school and did they focus on homosexuality instead of geography?

Re: If the Earth is flat...

I didn't say it was flat as a piece of paper, I'm saying it's not flat AT ALL. ITS A GLOBE.

Changing topics back to the star idea. Let's take your flat earth map and imagine 3 people at the southern most part of the map, the tips of South America (Ushuaia), South Africa, and Australia. Now. Imagine them all looking at the constellation of Crux (look it up if you need to) they are all looking to Antarctica (aka the South celestial pole)

Now answer this, would they all see the same thing at once? (Keep noting that they are looking in different directions, and not the same one)

Re: If the Earth is flat...

You are correct. The Earth is not flat. It is like a silver dollar where the mountains equate to the raised imaged of a US President, the overall thickness of the coin, the soil beneath our feet and the raised edges to retain the seas.
It the Earth were as flat as a sheet of paper, we'd have no mountains, when digging a basement, we'd open a gateway in to the fires of Hell. There would be nothing to retain our oceans.
