But I am seeking knowledge.That is why I asked you to provide the measurements that you say some engineers have done .Until now you ridiculise yourself by refusing to present these measurements for ALL to see.There are lot of other people who are seeking knowledge ...not just me...and you seem to have no shame to hide capital information.
The great lie has nothing to do with the SHAPE of the planet... it has to do with a false gospel and false instructions, a false law. Why would you place so much weight on the PLANET and not on the creator and not His will for man?
Are you "pretty sure" or "certain." If only pretty sure, I suggest you do some due diligence on your own and show me your evidence.
You certainly stated that Isaiah is a book of prophecy in order to support your view that the words of Isaiah are not to taken literally. Seems to me you are back-peddling. Furthermore, you neglected to explain away how the shadow of the sun could reverse itself on Ahaz' stairway via the heliocentric model.
Which is precisely what happens when it drops below the horizon. If it remained in the same plane, as flat earthers would have it, it would simply appear smaller as distance increased. Thanks for making my point for me.
God knew better, His scribe did not. God didn't bother to explain it to His scribe, probably because it wasn't relevant to the subject at hand. "Oh, and by the way, the earth is spherical and orbits the sun, which itself orbits a galactic barycenter, and it's all interconnected by the gravitational fields of the various bodies, and we now return you to the original prophecy." Right.
Purely Rube Goldberg, end to end.
That's nice. OK, it's dark in Nashville now, but high noon in Korea (I know, I just got off Kakao Talk with my niece in Seoul) but since it's only dark here because the sun is farther away, I should be able to see it with my 15 inch reflector telescope. After all, I can see Saturn and its rings, and the moons of Jupiter, and various far distant and fairly dim stuff, so the sun ought to be a piece of cake to see if it's only a few thousand miles from high noon here. Is this "perspective" again, or 'refraction", or the procession of the equinoxes, or Ohm's Law, or what? Seoul has to be more or less on a plane with Nashville, and it's nor too far north of here, what keeps me from seeing sun the if I can get Old Dobby aimed at it?
No. A roadway goes where it's built to go. You can build it straight up and down if you like, and I;vee driven some where the engineers appeared to have had that in mind. You go up and down hills and around obstacles, because you're following the terrain, not the overall curvature of the earth. (Seems like that should be intuitively obvious, but whatever.) In a bridge, your supports have to be true vertical so that they're carrying compression loads (they taught us that in engineering school even though I didn't want to be a CE), so they're vertical at the point where they're anchored, and thus not parallel to each other. But if you've seen a long bridge, you probably noticed that the roadway goes up on approach, then runs more of less level from one support to the next, and then down at the other end. Why? Because the roadway is running on the supports, not on the bottom of whatever it is that's being traversed. The road can go up, down, right, left, or in curlicues if the engineer so desires The curve of the earth doesn't enter into it.
Uh, no. The curvature of the earth has nothing at all to do with the depth of any body of water.
That would be true of you were trying to build a bridge that ran tangential to the earth's surface and out into space. That may be a better way to loft spacecraft, but so far no one has tried it. <ROFL>
And get asked if I got my PE ticket at JC Penny's? No thanks.
First time we've been in agreement. <Laugh>
So is the flat earth really sitting on a large turtle?
Which of the lighters could you not see the bottom of? Dude just demonstrated beautifully why perspective does not explain why you lose view of the ships hull. If it remained in the same plane, you'd continue to see everything above the water, with it all simply appearing smaller, just as with the lighters.
Thanks for making my point. It's smaller not because it goes over the horizon of the curved earth. It's simply smaller because at the point of the flat horizon, the vanishing point causes the bottom of the hull to disappear first - not because of curvature. I suggest you study angles and perspective.
So since God who is omniscient was aware that some scribe was responsible for writing down the Word of God, God neglected or didn't bother to make it clear to the scribe just exactly what he wanted recorded in Scripturw? I must admit you have a quite an imagination!
You choice isn't it?
No. Again because of atmospheric density, angle and perspective you can't see the sun at such far distances. You have made an apriori assumption that the planets are further away in the "solar system." The Bible states that the stars, sun and moon were placed in the firmament - not in some fairy tale outer space. Perhaps this video will make things clearer to you.
