Thank you for proving a spherical Earth.

Man, was it that simple.. .can I claim my $8,250 now?

Sacred Word Publishing: FE 2017 - The $8250 Flat Earth Challenge to All Globe Believers:

I did not prove the earth was flat or a globe.. I just proved that you point has no grounds.

Again, I am not going to watch un-Science videos in their entirety. Please show me with gif animated images the key points where you see what appears to be half of the ships or buildings covered by the horizon line with them then magically re-appearing into view by you or another person simply zooming in on them with a telescope, or something. So far I have not seen any evidence of such. Please post a gif animated image from your favorite YouTube videos that show this fact.

Well, it's pretty hard to tell what is "un-science" to you. I have showed videos of objects that are so far away that they should be hidden by the curve. Yet, your only comment isn't that you can see them when they should be concealed but that they are still shown to be on the horizon...

That's just it.. the horizon would go on forever. Objects would just get so small that you cannot discern them.

Here.. go to the 3:00 mark. The best I can do at this busy time.. Expecially when you refuse to understand that all of these videos are of objects that should be well beyond the curve... period.


Here is the website you can make gif animated pictures out of your YouTube videos.

gifs.com | Animated Gif Maker and Gif Editor

Sorry, ain't nobody got time for that.....


Listen to this Flat Earther try to explain the 24 hour sunlight in Antarctica. He is waaaay out there and sounds crazy. He suggests there are two suns and stuff. Crazy.


Ya, there are some winners..

Say, would you like all the non Christians to judge all the Christians by some way out there charismatic fringe wacko?

Ya, didn't think so.

Lets stick to observable topics and not trash the view based on the people who claim to have similar views.

I like the second video. The first one has the same clouds at the end as were there at the beginning. I saw it critiqueted before. It is a good attempt.

The second is much better.

The 24 hour sun at the south is one hang up I have with the FE.

In regards to Post #13: The point is that South is not really an end point exactly on a Flat Earth map but it is a circle. You can follow along the edge of South on a Flat Earth and still be South. Sort of like an ant crawling around in a full circle on the edge of a pizza crust. South on a flat Earth does have drop off points but one can still travel South and not drop off by going around in a circle and still stay South.

As for Post #14: Maps are in line with reality. That is what you are missing and do not understand. Otherwise, why have a map in the first place?

Anyways, the rest of my points stand on their own and need no defending. You can disregard them with your own reasoning if you like, but I don't think it will help you if I try to explain things further so as to defend my viewpoints for a spherical Earth. You seem pretty convinced in leaning in favor of a Flat Earth more than a spherical Earth. If that is what you truly want to see, it does not make a difference in what I say here for you. Go ahead believe that if that is your wish. Just know it is not reality, my friend.

May God bless you.

Yes, this should prove to you the Earth is not flat but it is indeed round.

As for your statement before about how changing your position when looking stars in the Northern Hemisphere: Well, that is non-sensical. Take an analogue clock and hold it above your head. Move the dials of the hand going clockwise as you look at it. Change the position of where you are standing. Do the dials on the hand of the clock change by doing this? No. They shouldn't. I just tested this using my microwave dish and my finger acting like the hand of an analogue clock. It did not matter how I turned while looking up at the analogue clock. If I rotated the hands on that clock to go clockwise, they would always go clockwise. That is why I gave you a General O'Neill face palm moment. You made a totally illogical statement that ignores basic reality.

Round Earth proof, but it's strange that many videos in comments section there's always a ''that sunrise/sunset proves flat Earth'' comment . Like a MSM blitz all working together pushing flat Earth like they do man made global warming and other lies .. Is Soros and his team behind this too ? ^_^

Okay. I just watched it after the 3:00 minute mark and eventually seen the boat. They did not show the boat appear to drop below the horizon like my photo below. You seem to think boats cannot drop below the horizon line. But what is this taking place here?

Also, the video failed to show a boat that is sunk below the horizon in appearance to then magically re-appear by just zooming in on it. That is kind of what I was asking you to do for me, and you didn't deliver.

Here is another illustration with the lower half of the building being blocked by the water:

It's a camera being used here, so it has nothing to do with our eye sight.

You said:

I really do not see his crazy views as being any more crazier than regular FE views. I see all flat Earth theories as nutty. No offense to you personally of course, my friend. I love you in Jesus Christ. But I simply do not love the belief.

Crows nests and Lighthouses ? What was the point on a flat Earth over water ?

Jason0047 (Words for your avatar)
Let the light of Christ shine upon a hill for all to see...Reminded me, keep it above the horizon
Matthew 5:14-16

Yeah, I know. It appears that I may slightly be mocking a bit. But when folks deny things that are so basic and simple to see with their own two eyes, and you explain it to them whereby a child can understand it, and they still don't see what you are trying to show them, it can be a little frustrating.

Anyways, thank you;
And may God bless you.

It was a compliment to you that your avatar reminded me of lighthouses and crows nests on water and on land to ''shine upon a hill'' .. I don't see you as mocking at all Bro

Coriolis affect, I don't know if I believe this myself ^_^

Here is a little bit of an explanation about the rotation of the Earth here (if you are interested):

Here, Jason... try this:

Pretend that you are in a row boat in the north Atlantic. You row south, facing the back of the boat, which means your are facing North... moving south..

You look up at the stars and see them moving from east to west..

Now, keep rowing...

At what point do they start to go the other direction?

Sort of like an ant crawling around in a full circle on the edge of a pizza crust. South on a flat Earth does have drop off points but one can still travel South and not drop off by going around in a circle and still stay South.

If you follow along the edge, you would have stopped moving south and you would be, now, moving east or west.

The south, whether an edge or a dome... still you can only go so far south.

As for Post #14: Maps are in line with reality. That is what you are missing and do not understand. Otherwise, why have a map in the first place?

Why do we have maps in the first place? It certainly isn't to show North is up....

It shows a tangible representation of the geography and, sometimes the topography of the area.

Maps are for navigation... North is up as a default and standard..... not because North is the top of the globe...

When a map is displayed in the most realistic positions... it is when it is on a table... with North pointing real north.... Not "UP".

Anyways, the rest of my points stand on their own and need no defending. You can disregard them with your own reasoning if you like, but I don't think it will help you if I try to explain things further so as to defend my viewpoints for a spherical Earth.

May God bless you.

Well, we will just have to agree to disagree... God Bless you too.

So, one thing....I admit to one thing that I am investigating that doesn't fit the FE model... all the while I have told you that I am not convinced that the earth is flat... AND you announce that the FE is debunked.


Meanwhile, I show you a half dozen or more facts that do not work on the globe... and you hymn and Haw and dismiss them and ignore them..

That is not balanced. That doesn't show integrity and shows bias.
