Flat Earthers: What They Believe and Why

[Apple Sky]

Incidentally the circumference is not the breadth; it's the distance all the way round the edge of the disc, or all the way round the globe

It can't be both, it's either a disc or a globe.

A video, real pictures of a rotating globe.

I'm sorry but I don't have the ability to go up above the earth to take such a video. However, I am sure such videos do exist. A quick Google search brought up thousands, including this one from the BBC: ISS footage captures 'orbital sunrise' over Earth It is only 12 seconds long. It was taken by its flight engineer Matthew Dominick, and was filmed while the International space station was passing over Europe.

I never said it could. I just said that the circumference is the distance all the way round the edge of the disc, or all the way round the globe. In other words, whatever globe or a disc we are talking about, its circumference is not its breadth.

Dean is a fellow Christian.

He is also a liar.
He did s video presentation of someone walking across a football field with the camera on the ground where they slowly disappeared from the bottom up as they moved away from the camera. Dean claimed the football field was flat and the person disappearing as they moved away is because "that's how our eyes work. It turns out football fields are not flat so that water does not pool when it rains, but rather drains off quickly. He has been informed of this fact but he has refused to remove his video.

It will be a real dull video to watch. The earth will have only rotated 15 degrees after 1 hour. No one is going to be able to discern rotation when it takes 4 minutes to rotate 1 degree.

This not what the verse say's.

Even so lets see one.

He is also a liar.

This is not very Christian like.

 

[prodromos]

True. Christians shouldn't lie. It's a very unchristian thing for Dean Odle to do.

 

[David Lamb]

This is not very Christian like.

True, but I'm sure I have seen you refer to all the astronauts who say they have been to the moon, including those of them who are Christians, as liars.

 

[David Lamb]

This not what the verse say's.

What verse are you talking about? I didn't quote one. I was just saying that the word "circumference" does not mean "breadth," as you said it did.

Dean is a fellow Christian.

So are a couple of the astronauts who walked on the moon - you have still called them liars or "more like, deluded Freemasons."

No I don't choose how to interpret the Bible literally, I read the Bible for what it says & is.

And it does not say that the earth is either a flat disc, nor a wide circle which is 40,000 feet deep
You have assumed that various words say, or point to, that.

I find nothing to hard to answer, so I have no need to mock or ignore.

But you have ignored what I asked about the verses in Job 38.
I asked you about the womb that the sea and the ice are both supposed to burst forth from, and you said that you didn't have time for that "nonsense".

 

[Strong in Him]

Even so lets see one.

Why?
You've already said that nothing will make you believe in a globe earth. Why demand evidence when you will only deny/rubbish it like you did with the earth photos.

CF needs to create a completely separate forum called "Flat Earth Believers".

This forum has a few reasonably sane folks who believe in some conspiracy theories; however, the flat earth believers are a bunch of complete loons and their stupidity rises to excess levels. The complete idiocy that seeps out poisons the rest of the Conspiracy Forum.

True, but I'm sure I have seen you refer to all the astronauts who say they have been to the moon, including those of them who are Christians, as liars.

I'm sorry but they are. Nobody has walked on the moon as it impossible.

 

[Apple Sky]

What verse are you talking about? I didn't quote one. I was just saying that the word "circumference" does not mean "breadth," as you said it did.

I said the circumference of a ball, try to keep up.

 

[Apple Sky]

Why?

Because I know for a fact that they have none.

 

[Apple Sky]

So are a couple of the astronauts who walked on the moon - you have still called them liars or "more like, deluded Freemasons."

That's because they are.

 

[Apple Sky]

But you have ignored what I asked about the verses in Job 38.

I'm sorry I didn't realize they were questions.

 

[Apple Sky]

True. Christians shouldn't lie. It's a very unchristian thing for Dean Odle to do.

I understand about the seal/clay verse, but this is only your opinion. I cannot dispute Dean on anything else.
