The Four Corners of the Earth - and it's flat!?

Not as much as you might think.

I'm not getting into these types of debates here. Just search for other recent flat earth threads and you'll find a lot of material by myself and others.

I absolutely refuse to go through all that again when 99% of the people seem to be too lazy to look anywhere outside of the current thread.

Let me tell you how these threads advance. First there's the group of people who just come in here to snipe and mock, then disappear, presumably because they feel superior to somebody for a moment.

Then the second group of people stick around a bit asking their 'gotcha' questions, ignore any rebuttals and will totally discount any external sources to help them because they want it "fresh" or not at all. Then they will find any chance to belittle anyone arguing against their point, usually with something that looks like, "See? They are all {fill in the blank}".

The third group of people will ignore all that put persist and inevitably come to the 'why would they lie' and expect us to understand the minds of perpetual liars. They will produce NASA video after NASA video with demonstrable fish-eye lens views and declare that as proof of the globe. The will then ignore the rebuttal videos of the same or greater altitudes showing zero-curve whatsoever.

Then when they are shown NASA videos demonstrating their habitual lies passing off footage with bubbles, scuba gear, harnesses, wired, bad video layering, hairspray, etc, suddenly they can't seem to see any 'proof' in the NASA videos any longer.

At the end of every thread leaves 3 or 4 individuals, a fourth group, who don't understand the flat earth concept at all, but just feel it's their sworn duty to be complete pains in the backside and troll to get their jollys off.

So, no, I've done this a few times now and will not be participating to that extent again.

If any of you really want to look into FE with any real curiosity, message me and I'll give a couple starter links. This is where I expect to start seeing the second group to chime in.

Now we can actually see the Earth rotating in space from multiple viewpoints, it's quite clear.

That’s a bit rich coming from somebody posting T-shirt slogans in an attempt to mock.

Flat Earthers: You argue that the Bible says the earth is flat. The Bible also says the earth has corners. Where exactly are those corners geographically?

You should know that there are many designers, manufacturers, and launchers of satellites apart from NASA. The university where I took my degree started up a satellite design and manufacturing business on campus while I was there: Surrey Satellite Technology, and I was able to follow progress of their early satellites and see the data for myself. They're now a world leader in small satellite technology

If I wish. I can do as I please. What's that to anyone else?

SeventyOne said:

Awesome. I've observed, witnessed and observed over 100 scientific measurement experiments of the earth and never seen any curve at any point, anywhere. So, we all have our stories.

I've broken no rules. Have you seen any product information, prices, locations to purchase? Neither have I.
