  • 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.

See this is kind of what I'm talking about. YOU might not be able to identify, measure, map, or be able to think of a way to do any of those things but it doesn't mean anyone else can't. But because YOU can't, you're assuming that no one else can't. This applies to what I said earlier. Because you can't understand something, you're assuming it's incorrect or flawed. On top of that, you're easily convinced by outrageously shoddy evidence and you think everyone else should be. But we're not. I mean c'mon, you also believe in giants because of pictures from a Photoshop contest bruh.
I believe in giants because the Bible states that they existed and they have found evidence all over the earth for their existence.

I know that there are photo shopped pictures of giants all over the internet.... are you saying that every single one is a photo shopped image?

Are you saying that the bible lied when it talked of them?

Are you saying that the giant skulls that are found all over the globe, but mainly in Peru are all fake... You do know that they have done DNA testing on these now and results are coming out, eh?

I am also saying that, yes, you can go to Antarctica, under certain restraints....and you cannot go there and go as far as Byrd did anyway..

I am also saying that, playing the devils advocate..... If Antarctica was a rim, around a flat earth plate... you could still go there and be totally unaware that you were on the rim. I mean it must be miles deep. Admiral Byrd flew for hours....deep into this land.

I am saying that they found out something down there.

Then you're suggesting that it's profitable to rebel against God. But I agree with a higher authority than you that it's not much of a profit even if I gained the whole world if I were to forfeit my soul by rebelling against God.
Exactly, thank you.

What is your next most compelling reason for the conspiracy of a round Earth?
Tell me if I'm right... you're interested in the subject, but not enough to enter key words into a search engine yourself, right?

I already explained it.. It's Satan's master plan.... make God unnecessary.
Create his kingdom on earth, form a one world government. Two societies.. slaves and the very few who have everything. The mark of the beast... humans worshiping him.

Knowledge of a FE destroys all of the foundational work in getting to the end game.

Like I said before.. Although I am not a FE believer... one thing I will full well admit to is that the FE model demands a designer and a creator.. God and His word fit much better in a geocentric enclosed snow globe.
Simple pattern recognition reveals a lot.

I've been all over this stuff with no one to talk to... where have you been?! lol
Nothing much good in the way of discussion in here, bro.
brinny can ask incisive and challenging questions without a condescending attitude.
I appreciate your patience with and efforts on behalf of this crowd.
Have you been to mudfossil university?

We're trying to have a discussion with people who actually belief in FE and why, and are trying to educate people who are seeking answers.

How far do the go? They only see .001 % of the ice wall, so what? Tell me how a short flight for a short distance over a minuscule chunk of the ice wall proves a globe. Tell me exactly. I'll wait.

Oh sure - they're just all part of the conspiracy too. Just add the tour operators and flight crews to the millions of others who are propping this conspiracy up.

Nonsense, I'm trying to MAKE SURE you see ONLY the flat earth perspective??? Where have I lived for 50 years? On a globe I thought for sure. It took me a month of sporadic part time study of the flat earth answers and it's only been a month since I thought maybe it's not a globe.

NOBODY on flat earth can
ONLY see the "flat earth version" if they ever went to school and actually lived here all their lives. Do you see? You all can talk amongst yourselves as i think JackBratt is the only one supporting the POSSIBILITY of flat earth in this thread. Debate me in my thread if you want a serious debate on this.

You've said this all before--word for word. If it's true, then how is it that you're suddenly looking at only one perspective. Don't say you're not. It's the only possibility for the shape of the earth you guys are even considering. Everything the rest of us are telling you, you're simply rejecting. That's not a very level approach.

"They" would, collectively, be the powers that have perpetrated this hoax, if it is one.

Why would they stop this Trans Antarctic Expedition? They could even fund it and control it. They could edit what was presented as the results and findings of it.

But are they? Do you have any evidence that this is true, other than the fact that the "truth" (as you see it) about flat earth still hasn't come out even though it wasn't stopped? Isn't it quite possible that the Trans Antarctic Expedition is just what it seems to be and isn't funded or controlled by someone trying to keep us all in the dark???

Really?

Firstly, many are just like you and I. They have been told, since childhood, that the earth is a globe... No other model has ever been presented. They listen and watch the images and teachings, all given by NASA, and have believed what they were told...

We all have.

Second, there are very few people that need to know. The jobs at NASA are all compartmentalized and you only need to know what your job is. It is simple, nobody asks and it works.

Third, those that know want to keep it that way. Can you imagine if, in 1969 the government came out and said.. "WOW, we cannot go to space, we were wrong, the earth is flat"? Really... how embarrassing, the repercussions would be infinite.

Well, it would also have been silly, since the US put an astronaut into orbit in 1961.

But of course this is just another American-centric view - it's almost as if only NASA exists. The Russians beat the US into space with Sputnik in 1957, put an astronaut into orbit in 1961 and achieved the first spacewalk in 1965. Pretty hard to do on a flat earth, and supposed compartmentalisation of NASA had nothing to do with it.

Why, why, why.. do we not have unedited, un photoshopped, non CGI image of our globe earth...

I believe in giants because the Bible states that they existed and they have found evidence all over the earth for their existence.

I know that there are photo shopped pictures of giants all over the internet.... are you saying that every single one is a photo shopped image?

Uh-oh

Let's not forget the European Space Agency: ESA

How about the Russians who put the Mir space station in orbit: Mir - Wikipedia

The Chinese also have a space program and have landed probes on the moon: Chinese space program - Wikipedia

I highly doubt that the Russians and Chinese are working with America to keep the idea of Flat Earth from being known. Not even so much as a peep from either of them attempting to blackmail our government by threatening to reveal the "flat earth" to us. Oh boy! What a neat blackmail tool that would be! Our enemies could turn the American people against their government forever by revealing that they've been lied to about the very nature of the universe.

It's a theory, OK?
Of course there isn't anything YOU would consider evidence. Haven't you figured that out yet?
Why do you keep coming back?
