  • 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.

Such as?



Sure it does. Like I said, that's why lookouts are on towers. And at very high altitude:

OK, seems like the OP has not been around for awhile. That's OK no problem.

I will indulge for a bit.

Like I said, there are some things, about the FE that I have issues with. I am not totally convinced yet.
I also stated that there are some things that just don't work on a globe that are obvious.

These are not going to go away when someone says "mmmmmmya.... refraction...done." Not even close.

I will give some examples in a bit..

Until then... in response to this nice CGI pic of the FAKE ISS over a CGI globe....which, I admit could have been taken over the earth at low orbit... WITH A FISH EYE LENS... c'mon guys... why does NASA always use fish eye lenses?

So, here is "proof" as solid as your CGI pic, that Sandra was in space too... Just say'n.... I don't believe any video of orbiting NASA pics or vids.

So stop using Fake CGI images... think,,,, think,,,, think.

Honestly, I can't imagine the payoff expected from a conspiracy of that magnitude. Enlighten me, but make it reasonable.
Control and domination.
Of what?
What do people usually want to control and dominate?
Profits, etc.

You do realize that scientists were bouncing lasers off of the moon and back to earth long before NASA claimed to have been there.... right?
OK, so there is a theory that they went there, but they had help, and most of what we get to see is faked.

Kind of like this...

I'll take a peek.
Meanwhile, you might get a kick out of this.
It opens really well and the opening incident is interesting, but the narrator is geeky, the next one geeky with a twang... lol, it's like God picked the worst people to speak of this:

You'll have to better than that. What profits?
I have to do better because you totally lack imagination.
If you can only see money as profit, this conversation is only 2 dimensional.
So, no... YOU will have to do better than that.
It's as if you indulge total amnesia about what scripture has to say about evil when you hear the words "conspiracy theory".
All you see is easy targets to prove your intellectual vigor, not any opportunity to learn something. Like how to think for yourself instead of being handed every piece of an idea until the entire puzzle is complete.
A fallen angel profits by unbelief, and if the first book of the bible has scientifically been proven untrue, why believe any of the rest?
Profit.

Agreed, but that dome would be an engineering marvel.

Created by God, right? I'd say that a universe with trillions of galaxies containing hundreds of billions of stars each, with each of those having several planets is a much bigger "engineering marvel", one that a truly omnipotent God could create.

Profit.

The fallen angels would disagree with you.

I have heard a couple people creating posts about the flat earth theory, can anyone give some opinions on this theory please
i want a different perspective on what people belive

thank you
camila smith <3
Some people are just trolling and some others really believe it.

Me, I just find the whole thing mostly entertaining, though at times, a bit frustrating too.

I proposed a flat earth experiment.
Ask a contractor to build a road "Flat and Level" that is one mile long.
Then send a group of college educated people to each end with their
own bag of marbles. Ask them to check if the road in flat and level
at their end. Both will declare the road is indeed, "Flat and Level".
For this reason 100% of people experience a flat earth. Even another
group in the middle would not notice the 4 inch bulge.

But a few scientists would run around like headless chickens telling
everyone they are stupid for thinking the road was flat and level.
Where do you live where a mile long stretch of road could be paved so smoothly that marbles would easily roll across it like it were glass or something? Have you looked at the surface of a road?

Good luck getting marbles to roll across that.

So now you're suggesting that airline pilots, visitors to Antarctica, travellers on Southern Hemisphere flights, people who actually watch sunsets, people who actually watch stars, telescope operators, astronauts, surveyors, GPS operators, and I are all fallen angels? :scratch:

And here is some CGI imagery proving that the attack on Pearl Harbor was faked: http://pearlharbormemorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Pearl-Harbor-Planes-Flying.jpg
Thank you... you keep on proving my point for me.

Don't you get it?

There is no way that video, or pictures for that mater, are proof of anything anymore...

Ergo the curved earth from low earth orbit in the Space shuttle or ISS... none.

It is even more believable as a hoax when they CONTINUALLY use a fish eye lens, their videos are never seamless, they always have multiple cuts and splices in the flow of the video capture that leaves them open to edit.

Why, why, why do we not have a live stream from a geosynchronous orbiting satellite of a continuous shot of the spinning globe earth?

Why, why, why.. do we not have unedited, un photoshopped, non CGI image of our globe earth... (before you go saying that there is... research it... pleeeeeeeeeease. so you don't look ignorant. NASA has already stated that they are all CGI or paintings because... (What's that famous quote again..... Oh Ya...)) IT HAS TO BE.

Let me ask you...

Which model is more likely to require....

A creator?
A designer?


Which model will evolution work better on, the globe or the snow globe flat earth?

Which model would better fit with the entire Big bang explosion into existence, 4.5 billion years of expansion, life showing up unaided, evolving into what we have today?

Can you see more of a fit to the globe or the domed flat earth being God's footstool.

Which one?

Just so you know... many unbelievers have been brought to the cross through the FE model...Simply due to the fact that when they start to believe in the FE model..... all atheistic, evolutional theories... don't work and they are brought to the conclusion that their is a designer and a creator.... who is the one true God.
