Lots of dreams are going to be shattered when we get people going into space and reporting back that the earth is indeed a sphere!

The only thing that I am curious about is how high they are going up? Will they pass the van allen belt?

I have iossues with all the lunar flights simply because there has been no adequate answer as to how NASA protected the astronauts from the massive radiation of the Belt. I believe they all went and came back, but this bother me .

You underestimate the tenacity of these folk! I have gotten into several intense debates with some flat earthers and they pull out some amazing stuff to try to buttress their position!

I have also debated with them in two other threads before and they can be highly irrational (even despite being shown basic observable Science). I am saying that if one is a rich Flat Earther, they will now be able to go to space and be shown that the Earth is not flat. In fact, if all the Flat Earth people were to get together and do a fund raiser for millions to support one guy to go up in space and record his experience, they should all technically never believe in Flat Earth ever again. They should be able to have enough money to send out a camera with no fish eye lens. They will also confirm that the sun does indeed go around the Earth, too; And it does not act as a flashlight shining on certain parts of the Earth in a circular fashion.

Why waste money on this proposed trip, all any Christian Bible based flat and stationary earth believer needs is the Bible itself.

Because observable evidence will win in the end. For it is a 100% fact that if you went to space, you would re-examine what you believe now. That's the whole point. The fact that you believe in a flat Earth is pretty ridiculous. It goes beyond all logic and basic reasoning of observable science and rational thought. But you are free to believe as you wish. I have no problem harmonizing what the Bible says in regards to the Earth being a sphere. We have to realize that the Bible was not meant to be Science manual (although it can at times accurately record Science).

Here is the star Jupiter (pagan name) with two of the stars that accompany the star Jupiter.

DSCN5641++.jpg

Now here is a photo of a star i took that was above me. Notice the supposed moons of Jupiter are actually stars and are like the photo of the star i post below.
The one exception is the stars of Jupiter are farther away and possibly smaller, so they do not appear as bright.

Please. Just stop. I am not interested in debating Pseudoscience anymore.
I have already refuted a Flat Earth belief several times over already.
It's silly and it is not even worth my time.

But if you need reasons for how the Earth is a sphere (and it is not flat), then here ya go:

This is what you would say to other photos, right?

That is about as Biblical base as your, a believer loosing their eternal life. Neither can be proved with the Bible

I do not debate science, my belief in Gods created flat and stationary earth is, a Bible based belief.

The pagan science (lie) is just that lies and lies cannot be debated.

Well concerning them I am not as confident as you! Some even had high powered telescopes and were shown moon junk and still were not convinced.

Why waste money on this proposed trip, all any Christian Bible based flat and stationary earth believer needs is the Bible itself.

Research Flat Earth: It's Biblical

Well if you believed the bible, you would know god created two heavens (for the third heaven has been for eternity.)

But I will give you three old and one new testament verse that if you truly believe the bible should dispel that false myth.

Genesis 2:4
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LordGod made the earth and the heavens, (heaven is plutral)

Deuteronomy 10:14
Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations

Heaven of heavens is what they call whatr we call outer space!

1 Kings 8:27
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?


2 Corinthians 12:2
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

This one requires a little thought (sarcastic humor intended). If Paul went to the 3RD HEAVEN, that means there is a 1st and 2nd one as well!

The pagan science (lie) is just that lies and lies cannot be debated.

Now, you are being highly illogical. You said you do not debate Science, but yet you refer to how the Bible talks about a flat Earth (Which would be Scientific observations in your mind, i.e. Science passages in the Bible). In addition, you also just posted photos (Science photos) to prove your position. So you are not being fair, dear sir. You are allowed to post Scientific evidence for your position and I am not allowed to do so? That doesn't seem right to me.

FYI (For your information), I provided biblical evidences in support of my position within the thread, as well. So please feel free to look at the verses I posted within that thread.

Now, your unwillingness to debate Science (i.e. your rejection of Science) shows why you blindly believe in a flat Earth. However, Science is merely observation of a truth in our real world. Without observing the truth (Science), you would not be able to function normally in our society and or to do things. It is your trust in basic scientific laws or repeatedly truths (or constant scientific observations) that allows for you to operate properly. You know the sun will rise (or the beginning of daylight) will come in rotation every 24 hours. Your life revolves around the rising of the sun, and the setting of the sun. Your pineal gland awakens you to the daylight even. But you are free to ignore Science like this and remain in your own world if you like. But the Bible refers to lots of Science that backs it up as being the divinely inspired Word of God.

As for a believer losing their eternal life: Well, the Bible speaks plenty about this topic. The Parable of the Prodigal Son is one of many examples (Luke 15:11-32). When the son returned home and repented, the father said he was "dead" and he is "alive again." (See: Luke 15:24, and Luke 15:32). Meaning, the son died spiritually, when he was in his prodigal life, and he became alive again spiritually when he came back home and sought forgiveness with his father. The father also said that his son was "lost," and he is now is "found." (See: Luke 15:24, and Luke 15:32). Most of the time when we speak of beings being "lost" in the Bible, it refers to one being spiritually lost. For example: Jesus said, "the Son of man is come to save that which was lost." (See: Matthew 18:11). But you are again free to change the words of the Bible to fit whatever belief you prefer to hear or to feel comfortable with. Just know it would not be the reality of what the Bible plainly teaches anymore than believing in the illusion of a Flat Earth.

Well, I imagine if they send one of their own who are just as radical as them to be convinced by his own observations and with him bringing back evidence to support his claims, I imagine a good number of them (not all of them) would be convinced and they would later feel pretty silly and embarrassed about the whole thing. But yes, I imagine some of them might think that he was brain washed by NASA as a part of their great cover up experiment.

This one requires a little thought (sarcastic humor intended). If Paul went to the 3RD HEAVEN, that means there is a 1st and 2nd one as well!

People (Christians) like you are interesting contradiction, of trying to make The Bible agree, or at least appear to agree with science. I may be wrong but i am guessing (being baptist) that you believe in God creating a literal Adam and Eve and reject the lie of evolution (if i am wrong on this just disregard the rest of what i write).

But then from the same scientist accept their outer/space universe, planets, sun (fire ball) stars, etc.. where none of the above are found in the Bible.

You want to look at Bible verses, that is true there are three heavens. Now what i am going to say/write is not an interpretation of Bible verses. I am stating this as the Bible verses state.

There is a heaven found in Genesis 1:6,7,8
This heaven divides waters from waters. There are waters under this heaven (raqia( english translation:firmament, vault, expanse ) and waters above this heaven.

Now moving down to Genesis 1:14,15,16,17
It is seen that, in this same heaven as God created in Genesis 1:6. It is stated by the Bible that God placed the sun, moon and stars in this heaven. the same heaven that is separating the waters (above and below) Notice no mention of planets being created and placed in the raqia.

So from the account given in the Bible, the sun, moon and stars are in the heaven separating the two bodies of water.

In Genesis 1:16 The Bible states that God created two great lights. The Bible did not say God created a greater light and a reflector of the first greater light.

The Bible states God created two great lights.

Now in Genesis 1:17 this lights created by God are created for the purpose of giving light on the earth. Noting is said about lighting up planets, moons, etc. these lights are created for lighting the earth.

Genesis 1:20 states that the birds fly across the face of the heavens (raqia) same location as Genesis 1:6 and same location where God placed the sun, moon and stars, Genesis 1:14.

Not sure if you have read Genesis 1:14 but that verse states “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens" notice of the heavens God created the lights are place in the raqia (firmament) part of the heavens, the area that is dividing the waters.

Psalms 19:1 also states that it is the raqia (firmament) that shows Gods handiwork. Not an outer space/universe.

If God is communicating the truth of His creation,and if a universe did exist, it would have been just as easy to state in Psalms 19:1 that the universe shows Gods handiwork but Pslams not not say that.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament "shows His handiwork.

Joshua 10:12,13,14,15 Joshua commands the sun and moon to stand still. Psalms 19;6 states the sun has a circuit. God causes the sun to move backwards in a promise to Hezekiah.

Genesis 1 list Gods creation and through out the Bible the creation of God is stated as The heavens and earth. No outer space/universe no planets, fire ball sun millions of miles away, etc...

The question are you going to walk on the water or sink.

I state my position that i believe, Gods creation is not what science says. and I use the Bible along with photos i have taken. But even though i have ask question in the past about of things science says i do not approach this from a scientific angle. Will not post experiments i have conducted, etc.. (i do not, don't care to, conduct experiments).
I see the sun moving in the sky (raqia, 1st heaven) most everyday along with the moon and stars. I see a moon which is a lesser light as the Bible states.

I am not a scientist, i am a visual artist, any photography i do would come under art. I simply photographed/recorded stars God created did not do any science experiments .

And i do not believe i said anything about anybody else posting photos or not to post photos. I just believe photos (if that is what they are) showing a globe earth are not real.

As I pointed out in the other Flat Earth thread, if you believe in the popular Flat Earth model (with the sun moving like this):

92c7dbb02ab9bff27bca31c55a986659.gif


Then this is what it would look like from the ground:

giphy.gif

giphy.gif


But that is not what we see.

If the sun set on a Flat Earth, it would look like this:

giphy.gif


And there would be a period of darkness for the entire world until the sun came back up. But does the entire world experience darkness all at once like this? Is this what we observe? No. The reason why the sun can be seen on another part of the Earth is because it is a sphere.

Stars Spin in Direction Differently in the Far Northern Hemisphere than They Do in the Far Southern Hemisphere. Here is animated gif showing the difference.

Ronq3V.gif


It is worth taking note that one can prove the Earth is a sphere by the fact that we can see the stars spinning in one direction on the Northern Hemisphere and yet we can see the stars spinning in the opposite direction on the Southern Hemisphere. You can contact people in these different hemispheres and get them to record footage for you (without letting them know your intentions to prove a round or flat Earth).

There is actually a more simpler way to check this without contacting a bunch of people if you like. Try spinning while you stand (either on ice or with your own two feet on the ground).

giphy.gif


Take one of your hands and point to the direction of where you are going to spin while you are on your two feet.

teen-girl-hand-pointing-gun-picture-id917024002


Look up at the ceiling (as you spin).

article-1376920-0BA1591F00000578-39_964x572.jpg


and visualize an imaginary clock on the ceiling above you as you spin.

Keep your hand pointing in the direction of the spin as you do this. Do you notice the imaginary clock spinning clock wise or counter clock wise?

Make a mental note to yourself if you see that the direction of your spin matches the hands of an analog clock going forward or backwards.

Now, look down:

Keep your hand in the same direction pointing (where you kept the same spin of direction from before):

Now star spinning on your two feet again or spin while you ice skate:

Important Note: Please keep your hand towards the same direction you pointed from the previous spin.

Now, imagine an imaginary analog clock at your feet as you spin.

Does the hands of the clock move clock wise or counter clock wise as you spin in the same direction as when you looked up at the ceiling?

If you did the experiment correctly, you will notice that the hands of the imaginary clock in your mind on the ceiling would be different than when you looked down at your imaginary analog clock on the ground.

This is the same reason why stars spin in different directions when looking at them in the Northern hemisphere vs. the Southern hemisphere.
