Flat Earth...

[Armoured]

I sound angry because I absolutely despise stupidity, whatever the source.
There are 100s of billions of photos from space! There are dozens of satellites that do nothing but take pictures of Earth from space all day long. They have been doing this for decades. Where do you think weather data comes from? The military has mapped every inch of this planet for their uses, and remaps it all regularly to check for troop movements.
50 years ago the Army had satellites that could read the insignia on a Russian Generals cap while he stood outside in Cuba.
You'd be amazed at what they have now.

For the love of God people, get out of your mothers basement and learn something. The level of ignorance shown in this thread is just astounding.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:

While I mostly agree with your sentiment, I caution you for your tone. Mods will smack...

I think anger is stupid. (not that i'm never angry though..)

O, and don't abuse Scripture please.

[EDIT]

• Modern astronomy started as a Jesuit endeavour, embracing Copernicanism.

I'm apparently not allowed to post a video about it...

Abuse scripture? I thought it completely appropriate.
Don't ignore reality.

 

[Papias]

Obvious.
Let's assume the earth's surface is actually flat, and it has a dome over it.
Than it's not just another planet, it's a specially made place.
No aliens, but angels, including the fallen ones that share our domain.
That's why 'Copernicus-ism' would be the Trojan horse for Darwinism.
The majority of people believe it already.

Did you see my post #3, back on the first page? It looks over the dozens of places where there are verses in our Bibles about whether the earth is flat or spherical. What do you think about all those, if read literally?

In Christ Jesus-

Papias

Yeah i saw that.

Yeah i saw that.

OK.

You could not possibly be that "uneducated" (I'll use that term versus something more harsh).
Any fool can prove the world is a globe with little effort.
Have you never seen a world map?
What would be the point of such an absurd conspiracy?

The Pharasees had the same remark as you but called the unlearned sinners.
The only proof you have of a globe earth is the evidence given. You have none of your own. The globe earth is taught to make the bible look wrong.

 

[Hieronymus]

OK.

I hadn't yet watched the video, i will later.

Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
That's the Torah, it starts with Genesis.

You are daft. The military, the weather service, NASA, the airlines, shipping industry, map makers, and everyone else on the planet who needs to deal with reality could not care less about your childish view of scripture. They are only concerned that what they do actually works in the real world. That is where the rubber meets the road. You can pretend that your fantasies have something to do with the real world, but the real world disagrees.

Yes, and the "real world" rejects Jesus too. So ?

No it does not. Yet you would know nothing about that, you don't spend any time in the real world.

Wrong. Water is used as a level.
It's never used as a curve.

It's so used by a number of different satellites.

As a surface.

Can any of you flat Earthers provide a "map" of the supposedly "flat" Earth that actually makes any sense whatsoever?

I would greatly doubt it.

And while we're at it. If the Earth is flat as you suggest, why do ships disappear below the horizon as they sail away?
If the ocean was flat, you would be able to see a ship regardless of the distance.

And where or what is the edge that "has to exist on a flat Earth"? Why haven't any of you gone and taken pics? The edge ought to be spectacular I'd suppose. Does it just fall off into the abyss? or is there a wall? Or are we all on the back of an immense sea turtle swimming through an endless sea? That's the old Burmese cosmology I believe.

I don't know why I bother, it's like trying to discuss quantum mechanics with a chimpanzee.

Which specific satellites use water, in what way?

All maps are flat, unless globe shaped. And globes are pretty rare.

I've covered this. If you instruct a construction crew to build a road, flat and level, that is two miles long, you will get what you want, but not what you asked for. "Flat and level" would end up being curved according a center of gravity, which actually moves. Practically speaking, the world is flat for most of the population. In reality, everywhere you walk, the earth is flat and level, except for local grading.
