• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

"Straitened" not "straightened." "Straitened" means "made narrow." Nothing to do with curves!
:oldthumbsup:
If they had been straightened, they would have been curved to begin with.

Loads if times, where you & others have agreed that the sea is curved at 8" per mile.
Regardless, Job 37:10 has nothing to do with the shape of water.
BTW, dew drops on leaves in the morning are not flat, neither are rain drops.

But the water is & always finds it's own level especially large volumes of water such as the Oceans, why do you think that we say 'Sea level'.

Yes, so nothing to do with being curved or flat.

No, but it has every to to do with the horizon (horizontal) which has to with refraction's which has been debunked.

I didn't know anyone had said the sea is curved at 8'' per mile - I haven't said that.

But there must be a good reason for saying it.

On a flat earth, there should be no such thing as a horizon.

Says the scientist of the year. :rolleyes:

Why would the curvature of the earth make the sea curve?

And why is this ?
Because if the earth is flat, there is nothing to stop us seeing things after they pass the horizon, yet they become invisible to us, however large they are.

This has nothing to do with the horizon & everything to do with perspective, we've been all over this.

It has nothing to do with perspective. Perspective makes things look smaller the further they are from the observer. But once something that's still large enough to be seen, like a large ship or a country, like France, is beyond the horizon, we cannot see it at all. When the sun sets, it doesn't get smaller and smaller as it gets further away from the observer. It disappears gradually below the horizon. That's not what perspective does.
