the myth of flat earth debunked again

[Ophiolite]

Talking about trains, have you heard of 'THE LINE' Saudi Arabia is building, it's going to be 110 mile long which will house an underground railway, and not a curve in sight, fancy that.

Yes. I am familiar with the NEOM program. The problems the Saudis face is water - or rather lack of it. Desalination is energy intensive and is a significant contributor to global warming (a reality regardless of the geometry of the planet).

And the Twin Towers in KL are not parallel to each other since this would make one or both of them non-vertical and create unwelcome stresses. That is because the Earth does curve. Deal with it.

Catalina has an isthmus that is quite low at Two Harbors. Changing the height of observation reveals more or less of the isthmus.

Do you not understand the drop measurement of curvature, of the earth.

No; never said that I did.

Do you not understand how big the earth is?

It doesn't matter how big the earth is their supposed curvature measurement always remains the same which is 8" per mile.
I'll let you work out the rest.

(8 inches) / (1 mile) = 0.000126262626

Ummm 8" per mile would just be a linear slope, not a curve.

Yeah, it is 8 inches per mile squared

X 110 mile.

Still a straight line.

 

[essentialsaltes]

X 110 mile.

How 'bout x 15 miles?

Humans who see a flat earth do not see a round earth.

Which is a shame when its so easily provable and measured.

It does matter how big the earth is.
If it were only a few hundred feet wide - like a giant football, you wouldn't be able to stand on it. If it were a few miles wide/long, you'd be able to see, every time you travelled, how it curved. And it might make sense to talk in terms of things "falling off" or "going over the curve".
But it is SO big that people can walk, travel for thousands of miles and still be walking on a flat surface. The earth is not like those pictures of small, spinning tennis balls that you keep showing with water flying off them.

Yeah, it is 8 inches per mile squared

that's also an issue given y=x^2, is the formula for a parabola, not a curve.

 

[Strong in Him]

All arguments aside,

humans who see a round earth do not see a flat earth.

Humans who see a flat earth do not see a round earth.

Sums it up nicely.
And neither position affects our salvation or relationship with God.

The derivation of the formula is on Bislin's Web site which I linked just before.

I don't see a level stationary earth, I know it's a level, stationary earth, as God tells me so.

Maybe not, but the covid vaccines may.

You just can't trust these Scientists.

 

[Ophiolite]

There's only around ten or more people on earth who realize it is stationary.

1,287,437,406 is more than ten. Is that the right number?

did God EVER tell ANYONE to trust any man, even perchance a so-called scientist ?

What exactly is the difference between a scientist and a so-called scientist?

 

[Strong in Him]

Maybe not, but the covid vaccines may.

NOTHING can separate us from God's love nor snatch us from his hand.

Don't you trust God's word?
