The Earth wasn't always flat.
It's just that somebody dropped a huge cosmic anvil on it.

so why doesn't the sun light up the whole earth all at once? why do we need timezones

I assume you've not travelled much? Never been on a plane at 39thousand feet and seen the curvature. Never flown on a round the world ticket in the same direction and ended up back home. Ok, let's roll with it. What's the reason for this incredibly elaborate lie? And how is it executed? Are all the long haul airline pilots and shipping captiains in on the lie? How would that work? And lastly are you trying to trump every other idiot that's come before you on this site or is it just attention seeking?

I've only traveled inside the states..never outside the US.

You talk about curvature from a plane, could it be it's the shape of the windows..hmm? You may wanna look in to that because from test after test there is no curvature anywhere on the earth.

I've never flown the world but I don't think it would be hard to fly across the world and if the passengers are taught it's a globe, why would they think otherwise?

The reason for the global earth hoax? Well number 1, if you follow the money...can you imagine what NASA's budget is per year??? I'm guessing 80-90 Billion? Number 2, to control the population you need to keep information from them to control them. Number 3, if we are NOT the center of the universe, then that makes us just 1 of BILLION AND BILLIONS of possible planets out there so we're no special at all, we're just a spec in the universe, kinda downplays the existence of God I say.

1. Actually in the past few years it's been around 15 billion.

2. So... Every credible independant study is wrong?

3. You're right. There most likely isn't a god. Not sure what that has to do with the curveture of the earth.

Anyway, I'm going to assumse you're just trolling. Not even Creationists make arguements this stupid.

OK I see. So this is a P&R discussion. That's interesting.

No no no no no no no no no! This is a Hall of Fame General Discussion thread! Don't ruin it with your religion and your politics and your whatever!

More proof of a flat earth:

If the Earth were truly constantly spinning Eastwards at over 1000mph, helicopters and hot-air balloons should be able to simply hover over the surface of the Earth and wait for their destinations to come to them!

.

Dude, you should learn some basic physics! I mean, very, very basic...

Oh come on people,
if the Earth was truly round,
how come boobs hurt when you squish 'em?

Because boobs evolved to take the same shape of the Earth. The Earth is round, boobs are round.

You can't squish the Earth without hurting it, same thing with boobs. This is undeniable science.

Pictures like this still bug the heck out of me. How does a planet not run out of water? The did that in the Thor movie.

How 'bout this: the water falls down into hell which is burning beneath earth, evaporates, turns into clouds and then falls back on earth in the form of rain or snow.

All I know, I wouldn't want to live anywhere on this planet where it would have to rain or snow hard enough to replace the amount of water that's falling off the edge 24/7. And hell would have to be awfully steamy. Sauna anyone?

Someone figured all that out already!

Yeah, if nothing else--why is the moon round? If it ain't, then it must be made of cheese.

More proof for a flat earth:

If Earth and its atmosphere were constantly spinning eastwards over 1000mph then North/South facing cannons should establish a control while East-firing cannonballs should fall significantly farther than all others while West-firing cannonballs should fall significantly closer. In actual fact, however, regardless of which direction cannons are fired, the distance covered is always the same.

More proof for a flat earth:

If Earth and its atmosphere were constantly spinning eastwards over 1000mph, then the average commercial airliner traveling 500mph should never be able to reach its Eastward destinations before they come speeding up from behind! Likewise Westward destinations should be arrived at thrice the speed, but this is not the case.

Please do.

More evidence:

Quoting “Heaven and Earth” by Gabrielle Henriet, “If flying had been invented at the time of Copernicus, there is no doubt that he would have soon realized that his contention regarding the rotation of the earth was wrong, on account of the relation existing between the speed of an aircraft and that of the earth’s rotation. If the earth rotates, as it is said, at 1,000 miles an hour, and a plane flies in the same direction at only 500 miles, it is obvious that its place of destination will be farther removed every minute. On the other hand, if flying took place in the direction opposite to that of the rotation, a distance of 1,500 miles would be covered in one hour, instead of 500, since the speed of the rotation is to be added to that of the plane. It could also be pointed out that such a flying speed of 1,000 miles an hour, which is supposed to be that of the earth’s rotation, has recently been achieved, so that an aircraft flying at this rate in the same direction as that of the rotation could not cover any ground at all. It would remain suspended in mid-air over the spot from which it took off, since both speeds are equal.”

well, assuming the earth really IS flat it's only logical that gravity holds the water on the underside of our spinning disc of a planet, maybe whipping it upward on the side where it is not apparently 'falling off the edge'

It doesnt matter if the Earth is Flat, Round or Triangular at the end of the day I'm still gonna be Black...
