    Haha! You got me, I couldn't keep it up for ever :)

    The Flat Earth in Buddhist Cosmology

    'If it doesn't have edges, then the earth would extend indefinitely in all directions.' If it turns out that the earth actually is flat it would mean that all the oceans in the world are contained by a wall of some description. In which case, what lies beyond that wall is anyone's guess...

    What makes you think there even is an edge? No one knows.

    The Flat Earth in Buddhist Cosmology

    This clip shows the Apollo team in low earth orbit pretending to be 130,000 miles from earth on the way to the moon. This footage went unshown at the time and was never meant to be shown to the public. We have it today due to an accident or perhaps it was intentionally included in other footage...

    Which shows you don't know how to request something properly. I'll send a link directly.

    Well, if you wish to remain in the dark that's up to you. Nothing much we can do about it.

    The Flat Earth in Buddhist Cosmology

    No one has yet requested pictures or videos. Why should I bother spending time hunting down links if no one is interested? 'Passive aggressiveness' teehee, sounds like an sjw buzzword. We used to just call it having a dig, busting balls etc. Mind you, I guess we live in much more serious times...

    The Flat Earth in Buddhist Cosmology

    If the earth was indeed a globe the Apollo team of 1969 wouldn't have had to fake a picture of it on their way to the moon. If the ISS was really in space they wouldn't have to fake zero gravity by using wires or use a scuba tank when out on a spacewalk. These aren't conspiracy theories, they're...

    I do apologise, but why so touchy? You can say what you like about Buddhism, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Is your faith that shaky that you can't abide having anyone criticise your precious beliefs? (not that that was my intention) I was just stating what I thought was an obvious fact...

    As I said, you can probably find anything in the Bible to support whatever it is you're claiming. People read into it what they want, a bit like the I-Ching. On saying that, I'd prefer you believed in Christianity than other belief based religions, just so long as you remember that it is belief...

    '...For all practical purposes, we can talk about it as a law.Throw something up and it'll inevitably fall down.' That I would agree is a law. On saying that, it may not be because of some force pulling it down though. The explanation of a phenomenon is known as a scientific theory. A law in...

    'You can't expect a container of water a few centimetres across to visibly curve when you look at it.' Perhaps not, but you should be able to see a curve on a lake if it's large enough. Beyond a video by the Discovery channel (I think it was) I haven't. There's a number of videos available...

    This reply didn't turn up in my inbox for some reason. I'll try to give it a read later and reply.

    'Gravity and magnetic fields are pretty basic physics. I don't know too much about it apart from what I learned in school.' I seem to recall that what we were taught about gravity at school was the supposedly proven explanation and we accepted it as such. For that reason it's very dear to us...
