  • 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.

Only going by what @prodromos said.

He said the sundials had to be adjusted this is what prodromos quoted;
You are misunderstanding. The sundials themselves were fixed. The time readings on the sundials have to be adjusted according to the season. The only time most sundials match clock time is at the equinox.

That is true. Since the continents are where they are there's no reason to fly commercially over the inland of Antarctica.

How can they when the continent of Antarctica doesn't exist, like I said Antarctica circumferences the earth.

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. Psalm 75:6.

A direct flight between Auckland and Johannesburg would come closest to passing over the Antarctic continent, but again would be taking a longer route if it were to do so.

But not from Melbourne to Buenos Aires, the shortest route would be to fly over Antarctica.

Oh I see, I thought you mean't that sundials themselves had to be adjusted, silly me.

That would be the case (barely) if there were enough people travelling to warrant a direct flight, but the only flights I could find had a stopover in Santiago

The Ice walls are much further in & why don't they fly over Antarctica ?

How can the ice walls be much further in? You have said that they are what the bible means when it talks of God holding the sea back with doors. An inland ice wall would have no effect on the sea.

As for flights over Antarctica I just did a Google search, and the first site I came across was one offering that very thing: Seating and Pricing

King James Bible
For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. Psalm 75:6.
How ever does Psalm 75:6 show anything about whether Antarctica exists as a continent? In its context, that verse is talking about promotion or exaltation not coming from a certain compass direction, but from God:

“4 ‘I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn. 5 Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.’”” “6 ¶ For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. 7 But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another.” (Ps 75:4-7 NKJV)

Of course it would, these huge ice walls would hold back the oceans to stop them from going any further.

Only to the edges, they can't fly completely over Antarctica for reasons stated in this Article.

But the ocean around any country stops at the coast. As I said before, the verse you quoted makes no specific reference to the sea around Antarctica, but to the sea generally. Where is the huge wall around Wales, for example?

4 Reasons Planes Don't Fly Over Antarctica - Aero Corner

So how does the airline I linked to offer flights? I have realised that the page a linked to was about fares and prices. Here is the home page: Antarctica Flights from Australia - Antarctica Flights It includes the following:

"30 Years of Antarctica Flights
We have been exploring Antarctica by air since 1994 - that's over 150 flights and 30 years pioneering a land that remains almost entirely undiscovered. Aboard a cruise ship you would only touch the edge of the coast. Aboard our privately chartered plane you will soar over a continent that escapes the boundaries of perception."

Why do they need to deter people from going if, according to you, going to Antarctica is impossible?

I didn't say it was impossible, when they take tourists to Antarctica they take them them to the outer edges. the islands etc.

The deception is when they think they going here.

They are not they are actually going to the edge of this.

But the final words of my quote about the flights over Antarctica say specifically that they do not merely fly to the outer edges: "Aboard a cruise ship you would only touch the edge of the coast. Aboard our privately chartered plane you will soar over a continent that escapes the boundaries of perception."

Where is the chimney you claim smoke is coming out of then?
in the far background, you can't miss it.

@Apple Sky you should start a GoFundMe.

Flat Earther wishes to see for herself if Antarctica is a continent.

Even if I could afford to go (which I could) I still wouldn't be fit enough.

From the North is where promotion comes from, from God i.e the pole star, Zion, the Arctic. Not the south, not the east & not the west. Meaning there is the Arctic but there is no Antarctica.

The North is mentioned a lot in the Bible.

But Zion is in the Middle East. Anyway, The psalm doesn't say that promotion or exaltation comes from the north, but that it comes from God. Verse 7 says:

“But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another.” (Ps 75:7 NKJV)
The North is mentioned a lot in the Bible.
It is, often to refer to Babylon. But never is the Arctic or the North Pole mentioned.

No - But most verses about the North indicate towards it.

The Aurora Borealis is above the N pole at the middle of the earth.

Ezekiel 1:4
Psalms 48:2
Isaiah 14:13
Mathew 4:8
Revelation 21:10

Isaiah 41:25
I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
