How Can Anyone Possibly Still Believe The Earth Is Flat?

An interesting article on IFLScience:

http://www.iflscience.com...ound-today

It reminded me of a recent thread on here.

I think part of the reason is to bring order into an increasingly complex world by claiming conspiracies left and right. In any case, it's duh confuse wacky

Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right?

I don't believe anyone on the Org believes the Earth is flat - and we have people here that believe there might be half-reptilian time-travelling shape-shifters; that the entire entertainment industry is made up of demons who sold their souls; that every national bank is owned by one family; and that Beanie Babies might be filled with spider eggs.

But a flat Earth? That's too crazy for anyone, LOL.

I'd like to think it's too crazy an idea for anyone, and I was pretty sure that flat Earth thread was a piss-take, but, as you say, a lot of nonsense seems to get believed around here - so who knows.

Speak for myself, I need to explain why I know for a fact that the earth is round and the Flat Earth Theory is total bullshit:

1. The sun, which is the center of our solar system, is round.

2. The moon, which orbits the earth, is round.

3. From sunrise to sunset, the earth is rotating like it is drawing half of a circle.

THESE^ facts are all that is necessary to know that the earth is round. Therefore, this bullshit flat earth theory is automatically debunked, refuted, & rejected.

Fianlly, you and I strongly agree on something! nod The Flat Earth Theory is bullshit.

And another thing, most of these "Flat Earth Theorists" (AKA Flat Earthers) are disinformation agents that are spreading this previously debunked/refuted/rejected flat earth theory in order to have all conspiracy researchers & absolute truth seekers to be looked upon by the mainstream media as "nutjobs".

You'd been doing really well up until that point.

flat is nonsense. but there IS a conspiracy, just another one some might think

earth is a sphere, that is true, but we live on the INSIDE OF A HOLLOW earth


all the evidence points to it

or can you explain why the sole of old shoes are always bend upwards? if we were on top of a sphere they should bend the other way

this leaves no doubt

Well....errrrr....ahhhhh....OK?

My lack of enthusiasm for this historic meeting of the minds is because you have called ME a "disinformation agent" many times. So if I am a disinformation agent, and the Flat-Earthers are disinformation agents, but I (and you) comlpetely disagree with the Flat-Earthers, then how many organizations are using disinformation agents? Two? Or one that doesn't know its disinformation agents are actually working against each other?

You know, there are probably people who'd believe that on the shoe evidence alone. You should find them, they'll gladly buy your books and DVDs.

Oh no, Graycap introduced us to a woman named Erin Green (she goes by Erin Green Rothschild as she claims to have been hatched in another universe via Rothschildian magic). Ms. Green claims to be half reptile, and says she was raised by Josef Mengele (whom she calls a wonderful man).

So yeah, Nazis and lizard people can exist together!

Also, I read Isaiah 40 this morning, and this popped out at me:

22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

Some people like to claim the Bible says the Earth is "flat" but clearly that is not the case!

LOL huh?? nice try! but reality gets you. because it doesn't get more flat than a circle, does it?

here's a earth shaped like a circle:




but what we have is an earth shaped like a sphere








the bible could have said sphere. but it clearly says circle. waht is ther to debate? seriously?
the bible got it wrong. period.

Has anyone tried unplugging the United States and plugging it back in?
