  • 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.

First, there are no planes that have the range to fly all around the globe.
Secondly, if they did have the range, then yes, they would end up where they started.
This has been done with rockets and missiles.

Yes - And the video explains why this is so.
No it doesn't. Not remotely. On the flat earth model, star trails looking South should be horizontal, parallel to the horizon. It is dusk here in Sydney, and looking South I can see the Southern Cross, upside down just above the horizon. An hour ago in Peru, just before dawn, they could see the Southern Cross a little higher in the sky, just above and East of the South celestial pole. On the flat earth we would be looking in almost opposite directions yet we are looking at exactly the same constellation.
Nothing we observe matches up with the flat earth model. It is utterly false.

They are not upside down. They are different stars.

No they are not different stars, what you see is due to our perspective & whether you are are viewing them from the north or the south.
The video explains why we are viewing them upside down the same with the moon.

The sun, moon & the stars are like one huge giant clock which God gave to us to tell the time, not to be orbited or landed on.
You have posted exactly the same thing before. Perhaps you could tell us where in God's word we are told that it is permissible to swim or sail in the sea. After all, nowhere (as far as I know) does the bible say that God created the seas for swimming or sailing. Yet both activities are mentioned in the bible without any suggestion that they are against God's will. Similarly, Genesis tells us that plant life was created to provide food for mankind and animals, but that doesn't mean it is wrong to use plant products for clothing. Indeed, linen is mentioned 93 times inn the bible. In the same way, yes, He created sun, moon and stars to give light and to be for signs and seasons, but that doesn't mean we cannot orbit or land on the moon (not the sun - too hot).

No, that is utter claptrap. The constellations visible in the Southern Hemisphere are completely different to those visible in the Northern Hemisphere. Once again flat earthers claim 'perspective' for things that have nothing to do with perspective. It's just a word they throw in as though it means something despite being in an utterly different context. They are either deliberately lying (which is diabolical) or they are simply incredibly stupid.

Who mentioned the sea ?

I did, as an example of something God created, which is used for activities (swimming and sailing) that the creation account does not mention. I mentioned seas and plants as examples of created things that are used for purposes not mentioned in the creation account, because you seemed to be saying that because the account says that the sun, moon and stars were for signs, that must mean (in your view) that it is wrong to orbit or land on them. Do you think it is wrong to swim in thew sea, to wear clothing made from cotton or linen or other plant-based fabrics?

I've pointed out a number of times how your clock analogy fails. Star trails in the Southern Hemisphere cannot be possible on your flat earth as they should form horizontal lines parallel to the horizon. Neither you nor your video can explain why they circle the South Celestial pole.

Well, I was going by what you said about it being wrong to orbit or land on the moon, sun and stars because the bible mentions them being for signs, and doesn't mention landing or orbiting. My point was that the bible doesn't say that God created the seas for swimming and sailing, or plants for making fabrics, yet it is not wrong to do those things.
