If the earth is a snow globe... then there was no "big bang" there is no evolution.. The snow globe screams "creator" and there must be a mega intelligent powerful being that is maintaining it.The flat earth cosmology is consistent with the pagan beliefs of old. It doesn't present an almighty God when he can only make a glorified snow globe.
IDK what the "affect" would be called, or what lens set up you would have to use. I have just seen movies and pictures where the sun can look super huge and other effects. You can do a lot of things with lens set up.What lens affect are you referring to?
You can do that if you take a picture, then crop a small portion of it and blow it up.Like zoom in and zoom out, have pin cushion or barrel distortion, but you can't make objects magically disappear from the bottom up.
Gee, never heard that one before.No, that is the result of atmospheric refraction.
Real truth is absolute. It does not depend on feelings or what people believe. That people believe FE is not the issue. It is their utter unwillingness to accept the truth that is the problem. It leaves them wide open to other deceptions.If AI is to be feared.... which I believe it is.... then I will be very surprised if AI starts pushing the FE.
AI will push intelligence from other worlds, however, which is part of the desception.
I do not hold to the FE view, I am a searcher of truth.... I do know that the FE is not ever going to be part of Satans coming great deception though. Only the globe model can perpetuate his lies.
I agree somewhat. However I think it may be more accurate to say that truth is infinitley more valuable today. That is why people are so desperately trying to hide it, muddle it, confuse it and create a world where truth is one of the hardest things to find.
Satan doesn't want the truth known. Neither do many mega elites, politicians and people in power.
But, as God said, truth will set you free. This is why so many are trying to hide it.
Maybe the FE earth and the globe have some things right. Neither model is free from issues.
I beleive that the real deal... is being hidden.
I see no harm in people seeking for answers and, in all reality, if they believe in a FE... so be it. If someone else believes in the globe... so be it.
People thought that lemmings ran, in herds, off of cliffs, for years.
I just don't want to step in front of someone and tell them to stop asking questions.
We are all who we are, based on what we believe. If we allow those in power and those who teach, and those that mentor.. if we allow those to demand one view on any topic.... then we are dictating things that we have no right to dictate.
Even with Christianity.... You cannot bring someone to salvation by demanding that they believe the gospel. They must be given the information and the Holy Spirit will bring them home. It is a choice....
Even though truth is absolute....We should all.... always... have the choice of what we believe to be true.
Your argument is not wrong, but pagan Greeks believed that the earth was a globe. Sure, they believed it was supported by a god, but that's another story. Truth is truth, pagan or not.The flat earth cosmology is consistent with the pagan beliefs of old. It doesn't present an almighty God when he can only make a glorified snow globe.
I do not give a hoot what people claim. I don't care who they are or what they have done. No, I do not know Rob Skiba. If I met him, I would tell him that the earth is a globe. I don't think it is, I know it is. I spent 3-1/2 years "outside my house", on a warship. I've spent many hours in commercial aircraft, starting when I was 9 or 10 years old. I trained in radio and radar, both of which prove that the earth is curved. The navigator on my ship got us all over SE Asia and to Hawaii, using the globe maps. Not one FE person has even tried to map the earth. If they did, their FE bubble would burst and they can't have that. FE people call some of the most intelligent and morally upright people liars. Don't lecture me on this subject. I don't care what people think. I know. Jump up and down all you like. The earth will still not be flat.What have you done, outside of your house, to prove your view?
Rob Skiba got out of his chair and from behind his computer, got in a boat and filmed Chicago, across lake Michigan, to prove that it was not "a mirage"..
He also colaborated with some other people of like views and actually launched their own weather balloon and trackted it.
It is not fake.
Rob was a man of God. If only we could be that devoted to the things that I hold to be true...
He wrote books on the Nephilime, parallels between "The Book of Enoch", "The Book of Jasher", the writings of Josephus and the Biblical accounts of history.
Sorry but to say that this is fake... shows that you don't know Rob Skiba, his character, his reputation and his legacy.
Exactly.Real truth is absolute. It does not depend on feelings or what people believe.
ExactlyThat people believe FE is not the issue.
According to your feeling and what you believe.It is their utter unwillingness to accept the truth that is the problem.
As does the globe.. The Globe model has it's own deceptions.It leaves them wide open to other deceptions.
By using the globe calculations it has been shown that we see things that we should not be able to see.The globe earth is not a "model". It is proven by observation and calculation.
Show me a picture that is not from NASA, the government, or the military... All of which are not without issues with keeping secrets and distorting truth to suit their agenda.People have physically observed it.
Nice. Einstein could use math to show that parallel lines never touch but at the same time were always touching...A Greek scientist invented a branch of mathematics and measured the circumference of the earth 2,300 years ago.
If intelligence is measured by how well we use the knowledge that we have of history... and cause and effect.. we are definitely less intelligent.I don't believe in evolution, unless it is going in reverse. People are no more intelligent now than they were when Adam was kicked out of Eden.
That's great.I do not give a hoot what people claim.
Also great.I don't care who they are or what they have done.
Rob has passed away. If you met him, he would invite you to tell him why you have your view and he would give his reasons for his.No, I do not know Rob Skiba. If I met him, I would tell him that the earth is a globe.
Nice to know that you're solid in your belief.I don't think it is, I know it is. I spent 3-1/2 years "outside my house", on a warship. I've spent many hours in commercial aircraft, starting when I was 9 or 10 years old. I trained in radio and radar, both of which prove that the earth is curved. The navigator on my ship got us all over SE Asia and to Hawaii, using the globe maps. Not one FE person has even tried to map the earth.

Actually, many people who hold to the FE, were atheists until they were convinced that the FE was the true model. Then... they came to Christ.
IMO, the FE model destroys any doubt that there is a God and He is almighty.
The globe model... anything goes...
So, your statement, as far as I'm concerned, doesn't hold water.
I would say that evolution and the globe model is far more fitting to be a religion and a "god" to many.
I have news for new. You can see the curvature of the earth from high altitude. Concord flew at 70,000 feet. The passengers clearly saw the curvature of the earth. I was in the Navy in the 1970's. I've flown over a good deal of the earth both before and since. The earth is a globe.
Coriolis effect, Foucault's pendulum, Ring laser gyroscope (Thanks Bob), geostationary satellites.They cannot prove we are spinning.
We've successfully sent probes to several of the other planets in the Solar system, intercept asteroids and return to earth, all based on calculations assuming the earth is moving through space.They cannot prove that we are moving through space.
Atmospheric refraction, an extremely well understood phenomenon.We see things, on a regular basis, and have for centuries.. that should not be visible due to the curve.
Gravity. The Earth's atmosphere is a pressure gradient. There is no sudden change from atmosphere to vacuum.The atmosphere doesn't get sucked out into the vacuum of space.
No it shouldn't. I've done the maths.The shadow of the moon should be way bigger than it is.
Perspective. You are making wrong assumptions about the distances involved.Corpuscular rays of light. ( not the ones that come toward you but the ones that go straight down).
Not true. They can be visible depending on the angle of their orbit around the sun compared to the earth's angle of orbit. When they are approximately 90° apart, Mercury can be visible for a short period at dusk or dawn and Venus can be visible for significantly longer. Do the math.Due to the fact that Mercury and Venus are closer to the sun, they should never be visible in the night sky.. due to the simple fact that we have to be looking in the direction of the sun to see them... that's only in the daytime. When we see the night sky.. they would be on the other side of the earth.
I was thinking more along the lines of Mesopotamian and Babylonian cosmologyYour argument is not wrong, but pagan Greeks believed that the earth was a globe. Sure, they believed it was supported by a god, but that's another story. Truth is truth, pagan or not.
Same here. I don't believe evolution can coexist with entropy.I don't believe in evolution, unless it is going in reverse.

Thanks for the correction. Passengers testified to seeing the curvature of the earth. I have no idea why anyone doubts that the earth is a globe.Minor correction. Concorde typically cruised at 55,000 to 59,000 ft. Normal max cruise altitude was 60,000 ft. Max altitude (officially) was 63,700 ft, although there are pilot's accounts of going higher still.
