  • 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.

In @Hentenza pictures of the supposed globe they look artificial, they are too perfect to be anything else but CGI.
You say the pictures look artificial. What are you comparing them with? And I know Scripture tells us that God's Creation has been marred by sin, and is no longer perfect, but the sorts of imperfections the Bible mentions, things like thorns and thistles, women having pain in childbirth, and men having to work for a living, are not going to be visible on a photo of the whole earth.

Which is true.
I thought we were discussing whether or not the mistake was noticeable, not whether it truly was a mistake. After all, you eventually agreed that American football fields are curved, "but not much."

And it only takes a little bit of a curve to obscure objects in the distance when you deliberately put the camera an inch off the ground. If the camera was sitting on a bucket then the person walking into the distance would have been fully visible the whole time. Pastor Odle was being deliberately deceptive in his choice of camera position.

@RedLetterJoe , still waiting for your demonstration of how flights between Sydney and Santiago are shorter than flights between Sydney and Los Angeles on an annotated flat earth map of your choice.
Or you can admit through your silence that these regular flights are not in any way possible on a flat earth and thus concede that the Earth is, in fact, a globe.
@RedLetterJoe , from your continued silence it seems you have concluded that the earth is in fact a globe. Good to know.

They look artificial? Oh, well that's obviously right then.

Just read what @d taylor has just quoted ............

If each image is taken and looked at, open them all up in their own separate window by right clicking on the image and selecting open image up in new tab. So three or four of these images will be able to be looked at by simply selecting that images tab (window).

It can be seen with the fake image, the land continents are in the exact same place in each separate image. They do not even move a 32 of an inch. The only difference is that the clouds have been changed and different colors have been applied in indicated darker areas etc..

This very much proves they are fake.

Nobody else has moaned about Dean's clip only a handful on here which I find rather sad being Christians and all.

You find it sad because Christians are saying that someone has lied?

Clouds move but not continents but when they CGI an image who knows.
There are only two of you claiming it is a CGI and neither of you have given any proof.

Who made the image?
Why?
What do they gain from trying to deceive people?

But as has already been explained to dtaylor, the photos are taken from a geostationary satellite, that is, the satellite stays in the same position in relation to the earth. Hence, all the photos taken would be expected to show the countries, seas, etc in exactly the same place, but for clouds to move.

Exactly. The satellite from which the photos are taken is geostationary; in relation to the earth and its continents ad oceans, it is not moving. So the continents are in the same position in all the photos. Clouds move around in relation to the earth, so they do change position in the various photos. Nothing to do with CGI.

As a pastor, Dean Odle is held to a much higher standard than you or I.
You have gone from complete denial, to reluctant acceptance, to now dismissing it off hand, all because you have put him up on a pedestal and are not willing to admit he is wrong.
You should focus less on Odle and more on Christ. Find preachers who are truly humble and stay away from the proud.

Yes anyone can see they are CGI.
Your opinion doesn’t count. As I stated on my previous post and you did not respond to:“These pictures from the NOAA satellite are used by atmospheric agencies to predict the weather so are you saying that they are using fake pictures to predict the weather?”

The pictures cannot be fake otherwise the weather prediction would never work. The weather predictions work, therefore, the pictures are real. Secondly, the Goes satellite is real and it takes pictures of the earth that several astronomical agencies use.

Now, you need to prove your contention that the pictures are CGI and opinions are not evidence.

And as usual is an ignorant, unreasoned response. Study what a geocentric orbit means. Get your information from a reliable source for once.
