Debunking Flat Earth

[Clizby WampusCat]

No... please don't assume and try to put words in the mouths of others... There are many kinds and types of plastics... they degrade and break down.. become brittle and lose their integrity... especially in high heat and cold fluctuations, radiation and photo decomposition.

And in the post #965 it showed the materials deteriorating and needing replacement.

HA.... I think milk came out my nose.... Just wow..... LOL

Why? There are no girl astronauts they are women. It is respectful to call them adults, not children.

I am going on the statements of a veteran.... from a US submarine.... Not my own knowledge.

I was a nuclear machinist mate on a US fast attack submarine. I was aboard for 4 years. We had a 3000 psig air system for ballast blows. Never once did we have to replace a seals in the piping system or air compressors because it failed.

However... after the "girl" thing... it's really hard to take you seriously.

Why is being respectful to women a problem?

First, getting upset or correcting someone for saying "girls" instead of "women"... to me... personally... is a bit of a nit pick...... I found it hilarious...

Secondly, I have no way of knowing if you were or were not a machinist on a US submarine... kinda coincidental.. but.. I cannot prove or disprove it..

However, you, going on a Christian forum and saying something and someone stating something on a widely viewed platform... is not really the same thing...

I am even quite certain that it was on the George Norray, coast to coast.. or some similar show... The man had a lot more at stake than you... here... arguing with me.

Have any explanation for how Antarctica can have 6 months of light followed by 6 months of darkness?

I don't doubt that you do.

What did he have at stake? Why believe him over me?

Slight derail. A view from the (flat) bubble.

The message of the cross is completely irrelevant to this thread.

Sorry to disappoint, but truth is never irrelevant. And without a fixed eternal absolute standard of truth, your house is built on a quagmire. Any truth claim without its foundation in the rock of ages is just so much chaff to the wind.

Now I wouldn't expect an unbeliever to hear what I'm saying. A shallow approximation would be the Plato's Cave allegory. But God is so much greater.

You want to find life, truth, wisdom, honour, glory, holiness, goodness, beauty, grace and power in their dynamic eternal fullness, go to the source of all value, which is God the father and creator of all. Modern man has no concept. Just down in the cesspit picking over the bones like a vulture, content in the conceit that his great brain can encompass the ineffable; hopelessly adrift in an alien universe.

Well there's a lifeline, and he's called Jesus Christ. But God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble. Are you willing to put aside your prejudices and preconceptions and seek him afresh with an open mind and heart? You won't be disappointed.

 

[Shrewd Manager]

Yes it is. And the demonstrations of science is foolishness to those who believe on faith.

Can't wait for the strangled obfuscations for this vid. An oldie but a goodie.

Even the top mainstream scientists understood that faith and reason are not opposed. Per Max Planck:

Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: Ye must have faith. It is a quality which the scientist cannot dispense with.

Just as a little tip: You won't convince us to "come to Jesus" by preaching at us. You are no more convincing than the countless other Christians who tried that tactic before.

Just a lot of claims with no evidence whatsoever.

The criminals to which I refer are the astronots. Do try to keep up.

Hahahahaha, you call them criminals and "astronots" in a feeble attempt to make them look bad. Tell me, do you have any rational arguments, or is name calling the best you've got?

 

[Kylie]

This can be said of both FE and Globe as neither is provable... yet.

Uh, the globe earth was proved a few thousand years ago.

None of that is relevant to this thread. Preaching is not a way to win a scientific argument, making assertions is not a great debating tactic and casting aspersions will win you few friends.

If the photos weren't enough to raise some doubt, then I fear I'm dealing with a wall of prejudice, motion for a mis-trial and empanel a fresh jury.

See, you can assert irrelevance, but you have only your own subjective standard on which to base it. So there's not much point because your unconscious prejudices will always mar your judgment.

Evidence of flat earth? Just check the vid I linked in #987. That world record photo wasn't taken by a flatearther.

Blah blah blah. Try reading, and understanding, the statement of purpose for this forum. An apology would be a nice follow up, but I suspect your pride will stop you from giving one.

Am I in breach of some particular? Should I apologise for bringing forth the gospel message? To the contrary, fella, I boast in the gospel, for it is the very power of God to we who are being saved. Praise God for His awesome creation, as described in scripture - flat, motionless and enclosed.

Oh look, a claim which has been debunked. How novel.

Max Planck was a Lutheran. Do you think it odd that he would have this view?

Seems I was right.

Oh well, moving on.

Well how can anyone argue with that stroke of absolute genius.

Depends if he was in church when he said it lol. What a wacky non sequitur.

Yeah, your failure to understand does not mean the explanation is wrong.

I hate to say it, but your grasp of latin appears to be on a par with your grasp of English. You should stop before you embarrass yourself any further.
