  • 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.

Of course it would, these huge ice walls would hold back the oceans to stop them from going any further.
The oceans stop at the coast. They don't go any further. There is no ice wall.
Only to the edges, they can't fly completely over Antarctica for reasons stated in this Article.

4 Reasons Planes Don't Fly Over Antarctica - Aero Corner

The article says they "don't" fly. It doesn't say they "can't" fly, and as has been pointed out there are flights that go inland in Antarctica.

No - But most verses about the North indicate towards it.

The Aurora Borealis is above the N pole at the middle of the earth.
Psalms 2:6
Psalm 2:6 doesn't mention the North Pole:

““Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.”” (Ps 2:6 NKJV)

Zion is in Jerusalem.
Revelation 4:3
Revelation 4:3 does not mention the word "north" at all:

“And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.” (Re 4:3 NKJV)
Ezekiel 1:4
“Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.” (Eze 1:4 NKJV)

Yes. that verse mentions "north", but the context shows that Ezekiel was in Babylon, not anywhere near the Arctic.
Psalms 48:2
Yes, "north" is mentioned, in the context of Zion, whch is located in Jerusalem, not near or at the North Pole.
Isaiah 14:13
“For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;” (Isa 14:13 NKJV)

Yes, North is mentioned, but not in the context of the North Pole or the Arctic.
Mathew 4:8
“Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.” (Mt 4:8 NKJV)

No mention there of any direction.
Revelation 21:10
“And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,” (Re 21:10 NKJV)

A mountain, and a great city, descending from heaven, not from the Arctic regions.
Isaiah 41:25
I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
Again, no mention of the Arctic or the North Pole. Some think it refers to a king of Babylon or Medo-Persia

OK 'don't' fly & why they don't fly over the Antarctica. Fights can fly so far in but they can not fly all the the way across Antarctica.

Of course they can, and have done many times.

AI Overview

You can fly over Antarctica, but it's not common for regular airlines due to a lack of infrastructure like landing strips and refueling stations, as well as significant logistical challenges. It's not a simple matter of illegality, but rather a question of practicality and safety in a remote and harsh environment.

  • Lack of infrastructure:
    Antarctica has very limited infrastructure, with virtually no commercial airports or refueling stops available for long-haul flights.

  • Safety concerns:
    The extreme weather conditions and vast, remote terrain make any emergency landings extremely dangerous and difficult to execute.

  • Logistical challenges:
    The remoteness means that getting aid or a replacement aircraft to a stranded plane would be a major and complex operation.

So you have changed from saying that flying over the Antarctic is impossible (you wrote: "but they can not fly all the the way across Antarctica", and are now saying that it is possible but dangerous? I don't think that airlines would be allowed to fly passengers over the Antarctic if it were too dangerous to do so, with all the current emphasis on health and safety!

I am still adamant that Antarctica circumferences the earth & that fights to Antarctic can only fly so far in.

Here on this video you'll see that on November 28th 1979 air New Zealand flight 901 was miss directed where it crashed killing all 200 passengers.
And as you'll notice this plane was scheduled to fly only so far in before returning to New Zealand.

What I'm summarizing is that this plane flew to far in and hit the edges of the domed firmament.

You can fly over Antarctica,
There you go then.
You say people can't fly over Antarctica, then post an article saying that it's possible.

but it's not common for regular airlines
Not common does not mean "impossible."

It's not a simple matter of illegality
This Artificial Intelligence isn't very intelligent, is it?

If it were illegal, I doubt anyone would do it, never mind sell flights to others.
Anyone who did do it would be arrested.
  • Lack of infrastructure:
    Antarctica has very limited infrastructure, with virtually no commercial airports or refueling stops available for long-haul flights.
"Virtually no", does not mean "none".

These guys do. Quantas Antarctica Charters. The flights depart from several places in Australia, pass over the south pole, and return to the same location as take-off. And as mentioned previously, there are also tours that land at the south pole base.

Case closed. Next!

Of course you are - you're not going to give up your beliefs or concede that you might be mistaken.

You've started yet another thread on a subject which you don't understand ("the earth is flat; I don't believe any evidence to the contrary".) This thread will rehash all the same arguments, will get heated and may eventually be closed down.

Why not write a thread on something which matters?

But this thread does matter, it's about time people understood Biblical Cosmology & the truth.

Doesn't it make more sense to go with the latter ?

when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. proverbs 8:29
Only if you don't understand poetry, or how to read the Bible.
