It's actually 0.666666666666666666 etc. So if you round to three decimal points it is 0.667ft. Another fail.

Earth's orbital velocity is 66,616 mph. You fail again.


Those are closer than they are farther...I think point goes to him.

Golly gee, I wonder why the earthly rulers restrict travel and exploration of Antarctica.
List of Antarctic expeditions - Wikipedia.
Antarctica has also been circumnavigated a number of times, the distance travelled being consistent with the globe. Recently, two men crossed the Antarctic mainland via the South pole unaided in under 2 months. To put that into a 'flat earth' perspective, they pulled all their supplies for the journey on a sled by foot from directly south of Brazil to directly south of New Zealand in 54 days, an utterly impossible feat on the flat earth.
There is also the 24hr sunlight in Antarctica in the Summer, also impossible on a flat earth.

Only if they were exactly 666. They aren't, so his claims are false. It also only 'works' with imperial measurements, which is only one of many systems used by different cultures throughout history.

The only problem with flat Earth theory is the Moon cycles... when we have a half Moon, but even then, we can see the "dark" part of the Moon that it's less illuminated. If you take the flat Earth model with the Moon and the Sun, there's no way to explain why we have half Moon.. and full Moon, when we can see the side that it's pointed towards us...

For a flath eather to find the truth, there's no need to go in space, just fly from one side to the other side and find the edge, even better, use a boat and find the edge.

I agree, many of the videos we have about space may be very well faked by NASA, there are too many glitches.

Yep, it's flat, stationary and enclosed and all of creation will be saved through Christ.

These are 2 straight up and beautiful Biblical truths, but who can stand them?

Guess that's why they call it the narrow path.

the curve you see in videos by Governments are created using a fish eye lens on a camera.
Tell me - have you or anyone you personally know ever been above the atmosphere? Have you seen that for yourself?

The usual unverifiable claims, Prodromos. Consistency is something of virtue. Still, if you want to put your confidence in man, you know the Bible says it's better to trust in God.

Why is the sun apparently 93 million miles away from Earth?
The earth's distance from the sun varies between a minimum of 91.6 million miles and a maximum of 94.5 million miles, with an average of 92.96 million miles.

You are putting your confidence in tribal men regarding the science of the universe. Not a good choice.

I have no confidence in your ability to interpret Scripture. I trust that God is not a deceiver, so when the evidence demonstrates that the earth is a globe, I know that God created the earth as a globe.

You, on the other hand, make God out to be deceiver, because the evidence we see does not match what you claim the Scriptures to say.

Some people spend far too long worrying about the shape of the earth when really it's the state of the earth we should worry about.
The greatest lie is that the devil doesn't exist.

Why is the sun apparently 93 million miles away from Earth? Because 93 = Saturn. The Satanists who currently rule the earth and control all media worship Saturn aka Satan.

SATURN = 19 + 1 + 20 + 21 + 18 + 14 = 93

Great video on Saturn worship
God's Son = 93

Globe Earth's Curvature Formula is 18in per mile squared
If 8in per mile squared then
1 mile = .666ft
Why would you try to define curvature in terms of area rather than length? It's 8in per mile; not per mile squared, which makes no sense.

Au contraire, God is true, scientism is tribal.

Good. Don't trust me. Or yourself.

I trust that God is not a deceiver, so when the evidence demonstrates that the earth is a globe, I know that God created the earth as a globe.

Perhaps you can present some shred of scriptural proof then.

You, on the other hand, make God out to be deceiver, because the evidence we see does not match what you claim the Scriptures to say.

Such self-reliance for a Godly man. Your grandiose empiricism is based on flawed logic, inductive reasoning, partial data, questionable sources and biased interpretation. Find scriptural proof or drop the pretence to divine creation for your Disney/ Nasa cosmos.

Hm
My Navigation teacher in Ships Class always used Isaiah 40:22 "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth" to prove that the earth is round, And since you cannot "sail over the edge" with your ship, that makes plenty sense? Also how on "earth" would a cow patty suspended in the Universe not totally get blown abouts?

Don't we need the center of gravity (oh another point I guess) and all that. Everything is in such delicate balance - why would all planets be beautiful orbs and we would be a Pancake? Why is our moon round too? Being round is so much nicer! :) So many amazing ancient scientists have figured this out so long ago, with scientific proof that I find it baffling that there is still ANY debate on this.

Plus all the pictures we have of earth and all that stuff... I feel like people just wanna have something to argue about, something to point at the devil and give him some extra creds.

Y'all the devil is a liar but even he isn't that powerful. I mean he will lie to you personally but he can't make anything different from what God established in the beginning of time :)

Want more proof that Globe Earth is a deception from Satan?

Globe Earth's tilt is 23.4°
90° - 23.4° = 66.6°

Globe Earth's Curvature Formula is 18in per mile squared
If 8in per mile squared then
1 mile = .666ft

Orbit speed = 18.5 mps (miles per second)
18.5mps = 66,600 mph

Don't believe me? Do the math. What are the odds? Are you sure God would create Earth with the mark of the beast all over? I think not.

I wonder what you are trying to achieve with all these strange "theories"?
I don't remember being saved and then immediately jumping to all these hair splitting, weird conspiracies. I was to overwhelmed with the Joy of Salvation and wanted to know who CHRIST is...

These questions won't bring you closer to Christ - only feed your doubts, as will discord.
I don't think God worries much about the 666... Human superstitions love to give power and fear to such things. John 10:10 "he thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
You are chasing a laser beam that Satan is pointing in the darkness. You are chasing it, even though it's just an illusion, a deception. In the process he is stealing your joy and sowing dissatisfaction. Don't grant him that power over you.

DECEP'TION, noun (websters 1828)

1. The act of deceiving or misleading.

All deception is a misapplication of the established signs used to communicate thoughts.

2. The state of being deceived or misled. Incautious and inexperienced youth is peculiarly exposed to deception

3. Artifice practiced; cheat; as, a scheme is alla deception
