What works ?
The stuff that is impossible on a flat earth, like radio communications between two locations with their antennas pointing away from each other. Like non-stop flights between continents in the Southern Hemisphere.

What works ?
Long path propagation, skipping HF signals off the ionosphere, bouncng VHF/UHF signals off the moon (that's a CW-only game, and my Morse code fluency isn't what it could be) and the simple fact that modes of RF communications commonly used by ham operators would be impossible in the flat earth universe.

I'm curious to know if this other civilisation spoke English? :scratch:
Why? I'm not sure why that provoked that reaction.

Is this a reference to how the writing in the description of the book was a bit clunky? The book was originally written in Spanish and the reviews on Amazon tell me the translation into English isn't all that great.

Ah, then I suspect the civilisation in question spoke Spanish. It's funny how when these 'hidden' civilizations that have been isolated for centuries from the rest of the world, just happen to communicate in one of the common languages in use on earth.

There are a 100 or so different lands & 72 different languages so it is possible Spanish was spoken too.

Never, the earth is stationery & level just how our Lord created it. If the earth had been a ball God would have said.
There are a couple, maybe a few things I would say about this statement.

1) There is no place in the Bible that actually says the Earth is flat. Some verses can be twisted to imply that but when they are untested the truth shines through.

2) What I have said a few times is that I will stop questioning your reasons for saying the Earth is flat if you would just be willing to believe this as a matter of faith and not science. With faith, you can believe whatever you want is true. However, a scientific statement that the Earth is flat simply cannot be proven because it's not a real-life fact. It can be proven however that the Earth is a sphere through satellite footage, measurement through nautical charting, and the movement of constellations and the solar system, the sun and the moon.

3) The only proof you have offered in your argument has been "God says so" and a quote from a fictional book. To continue to believe something that has been proven false in the real world (meaning the physical universe in which we reside) is to believe the something based on one's faith meaning you believe it because you want to believe it whether it is true or false.

4) A challenge: please post any Bible verse that specifically says the Earth is flat. Being a Bible-believing person,

Here are a few selections from the writings of Timothy to think about:

2Tim. 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
2Tim. 4:4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.​


1Tim. 6:20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge” —
1Tim. 6:21 which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith. Grace be with you​


More food for thought from verse by verse ministries Does the Bible teach that the Earth is round or flat? | Verse By Verse Ministry International

Simply put, men have known the earth was round for centuries, and the Bible confirms this truth implicitly. Unfortunately, some Christians have become victims of false teaching and conspiracy theories that misinterpret various scriptures to support bizarre conclusions. The claim of a “flat” earth is one such false teaching.

Moreover, we caution every Christian against becoming deceived by false teaching that opposes plains truths and promote novel and sensationalistic myths. Paul said such interests would be evidence of the end times, when believers are swept away by false teaching:

The popularity of “flat earth” teaching among a few deceived believers is indicative of the enemy's efforts to distract believers from Kingdom work with empty chatter and so-called "knowledge" which are actually sensationalistic myths. Paul says learning sound doctrine requires endurance, but some would prefer to have their ears tickled. The enemy uses attractive myths like a flat earth to distract believers from the truly important matters of scripture.

The claim that “God would’ve said” is ridiculous because there’s a lot of things God didn’t say in the Bible.

In my opinion I don’t think they’ve been deceived at all, I think they’re intentionally deceiving others.
