I thought it was via gravity, this is the BS I hear off most globe believers.
Pour water from a glass - it will go down to the ground. Thats called gravity.

And it will stick to it, because the rotation of our planet is slow enough.

How can you predict moon eclipses or comets on a flat earth? How can you even predict hurricanes and monitor their movements in real time without space satellites? Do not avoid practical questions. If the flat earth model does not work for anything, its clearly just a delusion.

Watch the video & learn.
Learn what? Different logical fallacies and how to use them?

You haven't given any response to Foucalts Pendulum and how it proves the earth is a rotating globe. I find this typical of flat earthers. You demand proof, and when it is given you pretend nothing was posted and head down some other rabbit hole. There is no honest discussion.

Interesting how you will get your way to receive salvation from The Bible, but yet The Bible is not good enough for you when it comes of God;s creation.​
Absolute nonsense.
I read, believe, love and preach the Bible - which nowhere says that God created a flat earth and that you are doomed if you don't believe that.

You realise that your video clip starts with the words, "Flat earth is an archaic and scientifically disproven conception of the earth's shape as a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat earth cosmography."

This is the 2nd time you have posted a video clip with those words - and the 3rd time you have posted something which says the opposite of what you are trying to prove.

All flat earth videos on youtube have this, especially if the video supports flat earth, it's their way of trying to censor the truth as per.

Nonsense.
If it was suggested that the owners of YouTube were trying to censor, or suppress, the truth, it would be reported and probably end up in a court case.
Which flat earthers would lose.

Don't forget that you, yourself, have said that you are unable to prove your position.
You claim that you know that all photos of the earth from space, all articles etc are fake - but you can't back up that claim or show photos to the contrary.
You claim that gravity is "BS" but the only "evidence" you put forward to support that is a YouTube clip. Anyone can make a YouTube film and say anything. Then, because it's "out there" on a public platform, people believe it must be true. Rather like his own example that if enough people say that socks go missing in the wash because the gnomes take them, others will start to believe it.

The number of people on these forums who use YouTube to try form, or prove, their theology, is amazing.

That isn't the case. You may not have noticed but we now live in the era of 'fact checkers', where the various platforms consider it their duty to warn people if the content doesn't follow the 'correct' narrative. I don't much care for it myself, but it definitely exists.

No it's not nonsense, youtube owners have debated this issue about what to try and censor & flat earth was one of them.
Why - Because if people start to wake up to the fact that the earth is flat, stationary & there is no outer space, NASA, Hollywood & governments would lose billions $

But there is one positive side to all this, the sale of Bibles would rocket. :)

Yes, what I'm saying is that surely the fact checkers would check claims made on various videos and if they were false, there would be some acknowledgment of the fact?

The claim was made that the words "flat earth is a scientifically disproven conception" were put on the video because YouTube are trying to censor the truth. I disagreed.

Again, nonsense.

In my experience, non Christians have several problems with the Bible.
1. God doesn't exist, so the Bible is fiction.
2. The books were written years after the events in them happened.
3. It contradicts itself and contains discrepancies
4. It was written in one language and translated into others; there were mistakes in translation.
5. The events of the NT were "made up", from OT prophecies - they just wanted to show that the prophets were right to say what they did.
I have heard all these, and more; reasons and excuses why people don't want to think about the Bible being God's word.
No one has ever suggested that the shape of the earth would resolve all their doubts about God's word. Why would they; the Bible teaches no such thing.

It's possible to believe in a flat earth and still reject the Bible.
It's very possible to believe in a round earth and be a Christian, love the Bible and be saved.

Oh, and I did watch the video. No explanation is given as to why greater densities are down and lesser densities are up. There would still need to be a force in a particular direction to cause the density gradient to assemble in a particular direction. Eric "the idiot" Dubay invokes a magical property he calls "down", without understanding he is actually describing gravity.
Buoyancy does not exist on its own but requires gravity to work. His video is one massive fail (as are all his videos)

You call it fact, but you cannot explain why the "outer space" cosmology works and your flat earth idea does not work.

Fact
- Knowledge or information based on real occurrences.

I think flat earth threads should be banned because its all complete hogwash and fantasy. No matter what proof you put forward for a globe earth, flat earthers will still not believe it!!!

Christian flat earthers would even argue with God! They are that much trapped in a tiny bubble of fantasy.

And regarding the theory of Gravity never being proven, as claimed by Eric "the idiot" Dubay in the video above.

:oldthumbsup:
But I guess that's why this is in the Conspiracy theories section of the forum and not the Life Sciences section.

Not in so many words, no.
But you have said that Satan may use God's creation to deceive people, that Christians are being taken in by this deception, that only God can set people free from a globe earth deception and that the Bible isn't good enough for me "when it comes of God's creation".
All of which suggests that you think that I, and others, are being deceived and following a teaching which is outside of God's word. We may not be doomed at the moment, but the implication is that if we continue along this path, it won't end well.

Oh dear - It looks like I've truly upset the apple cart with some truths.
The sad thing is that you don't have any truths, yet you firmly believe otherwise.

Again, you, yourself, have said that you can't prove your own teaching/ideas.
