  • 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.

@Apple Sky What is so funny about me asking you to tell me where satellite tv signals come from rather than me having to watch a video posted by a self-acknowledged enemy of God?

Because the guy in the video is not Eric Dubay.

It's on Dubay's YouTube channel. He posted it. That means a self acknowledged enemy of God gets benefit from me watching it.

If something that makes sense to you was said on the video, then repeat here. If you can't or won't, then you have no explanation of where satellite tv signals come from if not from a satellite, meaning that from a satellite is the most rational explanation despite your claims to the contrary.

No idea, you tell me!
I am part of a few believers.
It says nothing about "a few". The meme says "no one" and "everyone". if you're not "everyone", are you "no one"?

Once again you try to use something out of context.

Nice picture of the sun disappearing below the horizon there.

The earth is a globe; truth. It remains a globe even if you don't believe it.
God did not need either your permission or your approval to make this beautiful planet the way that he did. And because the heavens declare the glory of God, and God wants all people to know him, he has made it possible for scientists, astronomers and so on to discover just how stunningly beautiful his creation is. And however vast, majestic, awesome and beautiful his creation, God, as Creator, is more so.
There are testimonies from people who have studied God's creation and met God through those studies.

All you can do is declare that God created a flat, domed earth - which limits, and diminishes, God.

No it doesn't, the universe is massive, God put a dome over the earth to protect it & us from what lies beyond like what they call a vacuum, now we really don't want to be sucked into that, do we ?

This is what would happen if we did.

And once again you post a video instead of explaining something yourself.

A vacuum does not "suck". A vacuum is merely the absence of matter. It is air pressure which "pushes" into a vacuum. The earth's atmosphere is not affected by the vacuum of space because air pressure decreases as altitude increases. This is because the earth's gravity is getting weaker as altitude increases. At the highest altitudes of the earth's atmosphere there is virtually no air pressure, so the atmosphere goes nowhere. And the earth's gravity also keeps the atmosphere from going anywhere. Nobody is going to get "sucked " into the vacuum of space! It's astonishing how ignorant flat earthers are of physics.

And I'm still waiting for your answer as to where satellite tv signals come from if not from a satellite.

Thank goodness for that, I were getting worried there for a mo!
But God still put a dome over the earth.

Well there’s no need to worry, God has created the globe earth with natural safeguards built in. :)

Surely you mean that God has created a level earth.

There is no dome.
There is no vacuum, or celestial vacuum cleaner that might get put onto "suck" one day.
The earth will not move from it's place in the universe, get dragged off course or go gallivanting off to play with some stars somewhere. This is what they meant when they said that the earth is fixed - NOT that it cannot move/rotate on its own axis.

My explanation, which you thanked me for, was in the context of the globe earth. Gravity, air pressure and vacuum, all referenced to globe earth physics and God’s creation of same.

Oh, and as has been explained to you many many times, “level” actually means equidistant from the centre of the globe earth.

How can the earth not move when it is turning on it's axis & moving through space & I must say at terrific speeds ? The mind boggles. :scratch:
