A flat earth

[LightHorseman]

Doesn't look very "firm". Indeed, rockets and meteors pass straight through it.

POE ALERT! Kindly remain calm and refrain from feeding this POE! Children should be taken to a safe place (preferably as far from the edge of the Earth as possible)!

THIS IS NOT AN EXERCISE!!!

Planes have been as high as 80,000 feet and rockets higher but please feel free to ignore this information as well.

The land on earth is encircling. The edges are simply beyond the ocean that surrounds the land. You have just pasted a flat earth rectangle map. Odd indeed, that you (and others) have mocked flat earth but now resort to pasting flat earth rectangle maps in here.

So why has no one reached the edge? Even if there is a barrier then one who reaches this barrier will be able to attest to it.

TROLL ALERT! THIS IS NOT AN EXERCISE!

Just to point out, this proves flat earth. When you are in a plane and look down below, all you see is a flat surface, never curvature. This was a listed evidence for flat earth in One Hundred Proofs the earth is not a Globe (1885). Most aircraft drivers from the late 19th century, and early 20th century were flat earth believers.

Not true. Fly high enough, the curvature becomes obvious.

So tell me why rockets don't get stuck in the firmament?

You and the thread maker started this thread with intent of mocking flat earth believers, but it has backfired. Ten's of pages now, and you can't prove the earth is a 'globe'. I;m sure guests who have read this are laughing at you.

I'm not so sure they're laughing at him. I think flat earth is probably the one theory that even YECists realize is impossible.

The degree of firmness is relative and is changing under conditions.
How firm is the water? Why would it kill you if you fell into it from 300 ft high?

 

[Asycthian]

No. Spherical earth idea is centuries older than evolution.

This is a fact.

You are demonstrably and laughably wrong.

I said evolutionist assumption not the theory of evolution.

Yeah, I'm curious how one gets to "?" from "?" in a "?"-ly direction as per this wondrously accurate map.

Look closer at the map, the earth is encircling. Therefore you can travel North, East, West and South to any point without confusion.

 

[Chesterton]

Also there's also another interesting point, i never claimed to be a 'flat earther'. I simply said i believe in the cosmology of the Bible.

You can be or not be a "flat earther", be whatever you want. But the Bible does not claim that the Earth is flat. If you want to pervert the literature to that degree, you'll also have to claim the Bible says Jesus is a green plant, a wooden door, an electromagnetic wave, etc... You might even have to claim that God is a hen, since He said "...how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings..."

Evidence?

Google Maps

Type in "Africa", press Enter, then click "Satellite".

If a rocket traveling at speed hit water, what do you think would happen?

You don't think astronauts might have noticed when they suddenly started traveling through water?

It would be neat to actually find a "flat Earth" out there in the Universe, a disk planet flipping around its parent star like some great perpetual coin toss.

It would be neat to actually find a "flat Earth" out there in the Universe, a disk planet flipping around its parent star like some great perpetual coin toss.

Even cooler would be to find a Ringworld.

 

[kiwimac]

Terry Pratchett and Niven agree with you.

One would think that it would break apart due to stresses though.

Unless it's made of Scrith

 

[kiwimac]

Neutronium would do I should think.

 

[LightHorseman]

Terry Pratchett and Niven agree with you.

Point of order, Pratchett's fictional world is a Disc, not a ring.

 

[LightHorseman]

I thought Niven's design was far more elegent in its simplicity than Dyson's spherical version.

 

[kiwimac]

Indeed, I was also replying to the 'flat earth' idea as well as yours. I should have made that clearer.
