Please, do.I could have posted several as well...
When I do post several... then people just attack the source.... then the person... well, you did that already...
Haven't you learned by now that posting anecdotal quotes is a bad debate tactic? They carry little weight, are easily counter-quoted, and are often quotemined to begin with.
None of this proves anything.Canal builders used water for levelling, just as gardeners do today in laying level foundations for ponds. As canals extended the water level remained constant - because the water followed the curvature of the earth anyway. In any case curvature is not an issue. You just keep going forward.
When the channel tunnel was dug it was begun at either end - one in UK, the other in France. With extraordinary precision the two tunnels met mid-Channel, within millimetres of each other. This was a level of accuracy unheard of by eighteenth Century navigators, as the canal builders were known. Mr Winckler was, no doubt, a fine engineer (just look at the canal system, centuries old and still serviceable today). He would have admired the Channel Tunnel, the construction of which required taking the earth's curvature into account.
It's not the science itself that lies. It's the incorrect conclusions that people claim to be 'science' that are the lies. A perfect example is evolution. Billions of people deceived over multiple generations. Why do billions of evolutionists lie? Because they just simply don't know any better.
Funny, I've seen laser beam tests done by both camps... the one done by the discovery channel was a mess of edits and errors in continuity...What it does is debunk the Flat Earther assertion that the Nineteenth Century engineer Winckler has any relevance to the discussion. It is in fact just a diversion.
The point about the Channel Tunnel is this: the two ends of the tunnel met accurately (to within a few millimetres) in the middle using engineering based on correct allowance for the earth's curvature. If the earth was flat the error would have been substantial - they would have missed each other completely.
this is strong evidence against a flat earth.
(Flat earthers could not send a laser beam from one end of the Channel Tunnel to the other, because it is curved.)

Most, if not all, of the references are plainly metaphorical ...
"To the ends of the earth ... "
"From the four corners of the earth ... "
Just wanted to make a point that if globalists were half as respectful and considerate as you in answering questions flat-Earthers have for them, I might even consider reconverting back to globalism. I wouldn't do it, of course, because it's just plain wrong, but I'd consider it.
Thanks for your consistent, good-natured temperament, in contrast to many of the globalists on these threads.
Like i say if not till the second coming, or when you die (what ever come first) each and every person will get the answer to this. Some it will be to late, others i guess at the judgment seat of The Messiah you will have to see if this affects you judgment seat, judgment.
All i know is i am trusting God and His given word to be accurate in the description of His creation.
What are you even talking about??? Nobody is denying gravity.
We're saying NOBODY knows where it comes from or what it is.
Einstein's garbage time space theory is garbage theoretical nonsense that has nothing to do with science. It should belong in the non-fiction nonsense section.
What scares me the most about FE believers is not so much what they believe, but rather, their thought process in coming up with their beliefs.
I would argue that there are plenty of people who believe mainstream stuff however have thought processes that aren't too far removed from FE-ers.
The scary types of these are Youtube Videos featuring Ego-maniac idiot police...
Stop and think about this scenario. You get pulled over by someone who has the same thought process and reasoning abilities as a Flat Earther. They accuse you of doing XYZ when you did not do XYZ. You then go on to try to prove your case and argue with the officer (albeit politely of course) but all the evidence and reason you submit to said cop is rejected...
Of course, I'm not saying all police (or even a decent percentage) of them are FE-ers... what I am saying in general is that there is a non-trivial percentage of people (in various professions) who have horrifically bad and illogical thought processes and reasoning abilities that are on par with FE-ers.
That is why I find threads like this interesting and quite frankly scary.
Imagine running into these types of people in a situation in which they are in a position of power over you
and what if the answers are, science showed you the truth of the world, and you turned people off from Christianity by holding to false ideas of the world?
False equivalency ...
Or so you claim ...Nothing to do with equivalence, that's the origin of your big bang cosmology, your darwinian evolution, your new age quantum physics. The likes of the fillthy black magik pages of the Qabbalah and the Zohar.
Or so you claim ...

Although this word is commonly translated into "circle," the literal meaning of this word is "a sphere".
