• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Nope, just that your imaginary explanations are inadequate.
You have that backwards. I can support my claims. You . . . not so much.

Circular arguments are not support. You need to go outside of the Bible for support since that is the object being challenged at times.

There are no wires, only misinterpretations by the ignorant. And what glitches? Ask an expert on video transmission. "I don't understand" and then making up bogus explanations is not evidence.

Look at this video and see the wires, right in the beginning...

Their own filming.

Not any Frisbee I've ever seen. Good thing I don't live on one, all the hurling around would make me dizzy and everything around me unstable. Just like the earth hurtling through space, no, wait, that doesn't happen at all. Odd.
Actually the Earth is "hurling around". Of course there is no reason to feel it. This is grade school science. You should have learned this by the ninth grade. We do not feel velocity. We only feel acceleration. And the only acceleration that you would feel is rotational movement of the Earth. That is very small.

Here is a test. Sit on a disc that rotates once a day and tell me if you feel any motion.

Nope, no wires. Only an inability to understand how the lack of gravity affects motion on your part. In a weightless environment the slightest motion will cause a body to move in reaction.

I did, that's what made me see the lies and change my views about the nature of the world.

I simply don't know why you and others bother on these threads. You all have shown you aren't capable of understanding flat earth at all. It's really mindboggling the constant ignorance thrown our way. I almost feel sorry for the lot of you. Almost.

Grade school science also lied to me about living on a ball. It's funny that you mention only rotation movement (which can be up to 1,000 mph), and not mention the simultaneous other three directions which can reach up to 0.5 million mph. Guess grade school let you down.

Saros cycle is what Nasa relies on for eclipse predictions.


Nope. It's not. A Saros cycle can't tell you WHERE the eclipse will occur.

Here is a map of where all the solar eclipses could be seen from 2001-2020:

And here is the one from 1981-2000:

upload_2020-4-15_9-27-35.png


Why don't ANY of the paths match? The Saros cycle is less than 19 years, so if it was used to predict where they occur as you claim, then MOST of these paths should match up.

I am sorry, but you did not. It appears that you cannot "do the math". If you do not understand the sciences you are in no position to refute a global Earth model. I am not the one that has demonstrated a lack of understanding. I am not the one that runs away when challenged.

No, it did not lie to you. You simply could not understand. Now you are blaming others for your shortcomings. To understand the sciences we need to start with the basics. Are you willing to learn?

And there is a reason that I did not mention those other motions. They do not matter. You would not feel them. Once again this is grade school level science. If you are on a jet plane the only "motion" that you feel is the vibration caused by the engines and variations due to sudden updrafts and downdrafts. And it is the resulting acceleration that you feel, not the velocity itself.

I've never run away. Don't flatter yourself. I don't owe any of you any explanation or proof of anything, because you all aren't capable of handling it, and all we get in return are insults, lies, and ignorance.

I have learned there comes a point where I need to break off because of the hysterical stupidity heading me way usually has no end.

I'll just simply stop responding because it's useless at some point. This is the same reason why I stopped caring one bit if any of you actually learn the truth or not. You've shown yourselves unworthy over and over again.

Er, tell that to Captain Cook or any of the discoverers and charters of sea and land. They all used plane table surveying, and found their way around on the strength of flat charts and surveys.

You have the process upended. The 2D map is created first, and then projected onto a 3D ball. The cringe now is that they re-project it back on to a flat surface, doubling down on the distortion! But the original charts and surveys, they're flat and dead accurate. So ring a ding ding.

If this was true, which it is not, then it would be TRIVIALLY easy to come up with a flat earth map. Yet you can't. No flat-earther can, has, or will ever be able to. Seriously, if Flatearthers want to be taken seriously, an accurate, to scale, map of the earth is the very FIRST place you should start.

Oh, I understood the details of the lie. I have a rather extensive science and math background. It just took me over 40 years to see it was a lie and ther are better explainations out there.

Then let's discuss the sciences. You need to start with some very basic concepts. I am ready to run you through the basics so you can understand some of your errors.

I always found that demand humerous coming from people who think a globe is accurate. Thanks for the laugh.

Asking flat earthers to explain physical evidence just leads to endless evasion.

Lately I've been taking a different approach - dismantling the flawed logic behind their conspiracy claims. It seems to be working too, as they all seem afraid to address any of my arguments in this area.

No, you clearly do not since you clearly do not even understand gravity.

Are you going to continue to run away by spouting denials or are you willing to discuss the basics of science?

Yes, we can see that right now. I am offering to go over the basics and all I am getting in return is running away. I don't think that I will be taken up on my offer.

Which part of 'This is the same reason why I stopped caring one bit if any of you actually learn the truth or not' did you find confusing?

No, I tried having these conversations last year. Don't start on me with this garbage. All you people know how to do is belittle and talk down the the 'stupid flat earthers'. Get lost.

So what is that man with that black t-shirt holding near the guy witht he blue t-shirt? It's so so funny that you can not see this, hahahahah, I see a wire.

You see, he is touching that invisible thing and instantly, the "blue" guy moves towards that guy with the black t-shirt.

hahaha.
