Are you part of a certain church?

No. Not at all. I believe in a Creator. I do not think this is some cosmic coincidence and I think that what the Bible says about the EArth is the truth but I am no religious zealot.

What do you do for a living? I'm just curious about how your sense of common logic also shapes your life.

You're hilarious. When it turned out I wasn't a crazy religious nut, now you try to discredit me by hoping I'll tell you I work at Hot Topic or something. I get it- you want to show how stupid I am. Well, whatever, but I'm not so stupid as to think that the stationary, still Earth I stand on is whirling through space at 400,000 miles an hour (or whatever the crazy number is)

Why? Because your friend told you so? Please ask your astronaut friend to take a photo of the EArth from outer space- one that has not been photoshopped like NASA's. Or better yet! A video! We don't have one of those- why not? I also have seen space shuttle launches (as a child living in Florida) and the motherfucker went sideways! I was only 9 but still, I said to myself, "Why is that motherfucker going sideways?!"

Please don't take this personally, but - you are crazy.

That's okay. But, you started this thread and I was just taking part and explaining why I believe the Earth is flat. Interesting that people get so angry. I know it sucks to be lied to. I guess that's why people get so mad about it. So, I'm exiting the thread now. Goodbye

Sometimes it truly bothers me that people still believe the Earth is flat. It is not. Every single argument for it is completely and totally ridiculous - as well as the reasoning as to why "the elite" GLOBALLY would cover that up FOR DECADES. Like, how would that actually work? Just get on a transnational plane, PLEASE. You can absolutely see the curvature.

No, I seriously wasn't asking about the flat earth stuff, but but what you do for a living.

Well if you want to bring religion into it, that is a whole other conversation. But I wonder why it is that the head figures in pretty much all of the world's religions acknowledge that the Earth is a sphere? Surely they're not trying to hide the "creator"? And again, I'll point out that your theory that all of the world's governing bodies are in on this elaborate cover up is bullshit. These people can't agree on trade agreements or who should pay for walls, how are they going to band together and agree to a cover up of this magnitude? Also, back to the pilots, how many are saying that the earth is flat? A very small percentage. That means that there have been hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of pilots of both commercial planes and fighter jets, as well as every sailor in the world, that are all in on this elaborate cover up. And again, if the Earth doesn't move, please try to explain gravity for us. Or again, another one you haven't answered, why would Earth be flat but other planets are not? How does that work? Every other known planet in the universe is spherical and rotating around its star, including the other planets in our own solar system, and somehow Earth is flat and stationery. Also, it's due to our Earth being spherical that we have different timezones. As I pointed out, it can be night here and day in America. If the Earth was flat and it was the sun which rotated around us, there would be be moments of darkness the world over at times when the Sun is underneath the planet. But that never happens. It's always daytime somewhere. So how do you explain that? So many questions and not one intelligent answer.

Actually Earth moving is not the cause of gravity! It's simply mass that causes gravity. The more mass an objects has the more gravity it has. Even if the Earth didn't rotate, we would feel the force of it's gravity.


Rotational movement could be used to create artificial gravity in space. But it would be work to push away from the center.

In the original Flat Earth thread, we tackled every single "argument" for a Flat Earth that funkcreep threw out, and explained away every single one of them. Anyone with an hour or two on their hands can click on the link in the OP and have a lot of fun.

The difference is that we were pretty sure funkcreep was a great troll; whereas on this thread, I sadly think that superfan1984 actually believes this flat earth tripe.

It isn't something I'd on my own spend any time researching so I have no ready-to-go-to links but some of the things brought up in the last thread had me stumped.

For my money, this is one of the greatest non-Prince-related threads we've ever had.

BE FOREWARNED - THE THREAD IS 21 PAGES LONG. It's a rabbit hole but man! Is it an interesting rabbit hole!

We've got Flat-Earthers coming out of the woodwork today, claiming that the total eclipse proves we live on a flat Earth. But I believe all flat Earth arguments were clearly handled and defeated on the following thread. All I can say in conclusion is:





http://prince.org/msg/100...?&pg=1

Evidence for a flat earth?

It is often possible to see the Chicago skyline from sea-level 60 miles away across Lake Michigan. In 2015 after photographer Joshua Nowicki photographed this phenomenon several news channels quickly claimed his picture to be a “superior mirage,” an atmospheric anomaly caused by temperature inversion. While these certainly do occur, the skyline in question was facing right-side up and clearly seen unlike a hazy illusory mirage, and on a ball-Earth 25,000 miles in circumference should be 2,400 feet below the horizon.

You're so wrong in the head for reviving this

Believe me, I was completely surprised that an actual Flat Earther surfaced. If I'd known we still have one, I would have let this sleeping dog lie!

It's always a bit surprising the amount of conspiracy people are willing to believe.

Geezzzz.... I said I was gone (and I am!) on this thread.... but, please, open your mind, and read this...http://www.ericdubay.com/?p=927

if that link doesn't work just go to ericdubay.com

I personally can't spend that much time on that much conspiracy explanations. Makes no sense for a massive lie to be kept going on since god knows how long because even some ancient greeks believed the earth was a sphere which was a really long time before NASA and religion for some odd reason kept growing. Nothing hinges on the earth not being flat so no reason to lie about it.

its just a dumb fkn argument considering the fact that ......why even comment. its just too stupid of an argument to have...

In fairness, I don't believe he really thinks the Earth is flat. There's many in the Tin Foil Hat Brigade that don't even believe that and these are people who believe that the Queen and George Bush are Lizard people from space. If the idea of a flat earth is too far fetched for them, I refuse to believe that Superfan1984 is stupid enough to believe it. I'd imagine he's just having a bit of fun, as we all are.

Given the amount of energy put into arguing, reading and researching to "prove" that the earth is flat and not to believe it is a whole other disorder I can't even fathom.

I'm a she

But how does a true believer in the flat earth explain that there is another side of the world with another sky and time that you can travel to, or call right now? In increments?

I've already told you, I am not the go-to person on all these flat Earth arguments and I actually am trying to exit this thread. But, let me say, that I do believe the Earth is flat. It makes more sense to me than all this other craziness- whirling through space at a thousand miles an hour etc. etc. So- yes, I believe the Earth is flat and I am not trolling. I know nothing about you but, I suppose by your name you believe in UFO's? And Aliens? Some people would call you craaazzzyyy-- It all depends who you're talking to. But, Rodeoschroe started this thread and then said I was crazy. ??? Why start a thread then? Did he expect everyone responding to the Flat Earth thread to agree that we live on a ball? And then you ask me about religion and what I do for a living? wtf? I would ask you what your occupation is but, oh yeah, that's right- I don't care. What proofs have you offered up that we live on a ball? Stop asking me questions and explain to me how you know. If there had been flat Earth maps in your classrooms and if your teachers and the Scientists and the people on television told you it was a fact and told you why- you would believe it right? Or would you, Ufoclub, come up with these insane numbers yourself? Would you say, "hmm.... no... I don't think this stationary ground I'm standing on is stationary- in fact, hmm, feels to me like maybe the Earth is tilted on it's vertical axis at 23.5 degrees while orbiting the sun at 67,000 miles per hour in tune with the entire solar system spiraling 500,000 miles per hour around the Milky Way--- even though I feel and experience none of it!" --- So, now I am leaving this thread because, what a bunch of playground babies-- You might have well have thrown rocks at me and chanted, "na na na boo boo Superfan is crazy..." And by the way- UFO's come from another dimension, not from space, because there is no space--- have a nice day.

Common logic is asking questions and not believing everything you're told. You can't pass the Van Allen belts. It's a fact. Now I am gone from this thread and won't respond anymore. I would say have a nice day but I hope you have a bad one.

Okay, let's say the earth is flat. The sun is shining. If we look at this realistically, even if the sun and moon revolved around the earth, we would be able to see the sun from wherever we stood on the earth. We would not be able to see the moon, due to the light from the sun.

SUN>_________________________ shining on a flat earth. The individual at the far side of the earth would still be able to see the light from the sun. The only way that one side of the earth would be submerged into total darkness is from the curve of the earth hiding the sun from the other side of the earth.

Sun>______^_______ (rude attempt since I am unable to generate a curve but as you can see, the only way the sun would not be visible to the other side of the earth is if there was something - the earth - to obstruct the view).

Hi benni I am going to bed but I will click on that thread and check it out tomorrow and like I said, I hope people will check out Eric Dubay's website www.ericdubay.com and click on flat earth and his 200 proofs that the earth is not a ball - which, pretty much answers most of these questions. But, to be fair, I will look at the website you posted.
