  • 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.

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.
All astro nots are free masons and proud of it.

What are the Mason's.. .ya a secret society..They would never lie... or would they?

You should check out this video of a press confirance from after they just got back from walking on the moon...

Ask yourself.. does it look like these guys just did the most historic thing in the history of man... or that they are being forced to lie to the world.

Neil Armstrong refused to give interviews his whole life....

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?
They keep coming back because... deep in their mind they know that there is something to it.

If they were 100% sure that they were right.. they would not waste their time here.

But... they are curious and Biblically and logically something is wrong and they use this medium to learn more about it.

We all know that the military keeps secrets. We all know that NASA is stalling for some reason on the mars deal. We all know that the governments are corrupt as well..

So.. they know that this whole deal just may have something too it.

Therefore, they stick around and gather information. All the while not ready to take the step and say that they have doubts.

Yes.



Same as the units for d and r.
OK.... now can you plug in some numbers?

Also, you state this as the height of the bulge between two points... that is different than the total drop of the earth surface as you move further away from a point on the surface... correct?

Be my guest. If you must use miles, there are 63,360 inches in a mile.

Also, you state this as the height of the bulge between two points...

You were talking about objects being obscured. For that, the height of the "spherical bulge" is the relevant quantity.

Came back to see if this crazy argument still had legs. Left disappointed.
Come back any time.... we'll see if we can disappoint you again.

Maybe bring some solid proof for me, when you come, as I need it for either view.

If anyone wants to try... you are not allowed to just go trekking through Antarctica...If you did try, if you made it there.. good luck making it back too.

Yes, there may indeed be many off-limit government installations there, but that doesn't mean the entire continent is off limits. Even places within the USA are off-limits. Does that mean something is being hidden that would expose some grand conspiracy if it were uncovered? Places and things can be off-limits to most people for a variety of reasons.

Too bad the "grand all revealing globe proving tour" doesn't go ACROSS the entire fake "continent" to actually PROVE there is no ice wall. I wonder why the globe is so difficult to prove? We have tons of "theories" like the big bang, evolution, GRAVITY, Relativity, dark matter, dark energy, multi-verses, the theory of everything and a whole smorgasbord of "ideas" and "10,000 page "explanations". Phenomenal.

I'd say that the post I was responding to says it all. Go read it. It was directly at you, and you never responded as to the hypocrisy of your argument.

Perhaps you've heard that SpaceX is planning to take space tourists into space. Then there will be non-astronauts, non-NASA, non-government people going into space. What will you say about them when they come back to earth and tell about seeing the earth as a globe. You say you haven't made up your mind yet, so you'd be willing to listen to the first-hand account of people who actually see for themselves, correct? And no, I don't mean before you dismiss them all as liars.

That's like an 8 year old child asking, "Why is it so difficult for adults to teach me anything?"

Nobody can beat me in a flat earth debate (no globers), and they are keenly aware. They won't step foot in my threads for fear of the embarrassment they will experience there. It's comical to say the least.

Apart from this one. And all the others.

I was really hoping that you would work us through a calculation.

I am no mathematician. I have know way to say if your math is right or not..But, if I figure this right, and you are calculating the hump in the middle.. it would be smaller than the total drop.

I think that you would really like this site:

Metabunk: Earth's Curve Horizon, Bulge, Drop, and Hidden Calculator


You could do this math: Working with the curvature of a spherical Earth

or here: Earth Curve Calculator

There have already been space tourists paying to go to the ISS. But don't worry, Flat Earthers will just claim that the tourists are members of the conspiracy.
