• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Satellites can go around a flat earth. Looking up only proves the firmament.

If we were on a globe the sky wouldn't look like a dome.
How does it look like a dome? I'd say it looks like emptiness as far as the eye can see.

The top is higher than the side. Its really easy to see at night. Its rounded.

Why didn't I say this because, its proof.
How exactly do you see that "the top" is higher?

You've conditioned yourself to see otherwise through brainwashing in the education system and media.

Next time you're out during day or night, just look up, the top is higher than the sides.

Genesis is not a poetic language.
Do you read ancient Hebrew fluently? It surely is Hebrew poetry.

Another thing - all Semitic languages including Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic and Chaldean have multiple layers of meaning. They are not linear like Indo-European languages (including English ) . That means that every verse, every word can have several different meanings that are ALL true simultaneously.

If we were on a globe the sky wouldn't look like a dome.
What exactly WOULD it look like?
Satellites can go around a flat earth.
Really? Give me the physics formulae of THOSE orbital mechanics.

Like, the top looks further away than the side, or when you look up, things are in the up direction?

Yes. Actually look at night, or when theres lots of clouds out. It's a firmament/dome.
If all the clouds are a given distance up from the ground, and the ground surface is curved; wouldn't that ALSO give the appearance of a "dome?"
