Flat Earth Theory.

Oooh, it's a list. I'm always a sucker for lists. Let's see what we have here.

1. I've never seen Australia. That doesn't mean it's not there. You can't complain about seeing the horizon curve if you haven't been high enough that you would be expected to see it. Note that planes can travel at different altitudes.

2. First Law of Motion. You feel a change in speed or direction, you don't feel a constant speed. The change in direction of the Earth spinning happens twice as slow as an hour hand on a clock moving. That's really slow.

3. There are a great many pictures, you just say they're all hoaxes.

4. You haven't seen a wet ball before? But most of the water is pulled off by the GRAVITY FROM THE EARTH.

5. That's because gravity pulls them down.

6. Drops a ball. It falls. There you go.

7. Take a look at water droplets sometime.

8. Learn something about light refraction.

9. See #8. Light refraction is easily seen in prisms and rainbows.

10. Why would they? A bridge or segment of road or railroad is tiny compared to the curvature of the Earth, and the local terrain is what they have to deal with. You know, hills and stuff.

To prove a person does not understand The Bible, that must be proved to be true. By posting verse from The Bible showing where the person is wrong, so feel free to post your verses showing i do not understand the creation description given in The Bible.

Nothing of what you claim is described by the creation account in Genesis matches what we physically observe. For your interpretation to be true, it would have to consistently match what we observe regardless of our position on the earth. Your interpretation fails that test every time.

1. All you need to do is view the horizon from different altitudes with the use of a water level to determine "eye level". If the earth was flat, then due to the "Law of Perspective" the horizon will always be at eye level regardless of the elevation you are viewing from. In reality, because the earth is a globe, the horizon dips below eye level more and more the higher the elevation you view from.

2. Nor would you. You will only feel changes in velocity and that isn't happening.

3. Of course there are.

4. The stupid is strong with this one. Water stays on the surface of the earth due to gravity because the earth is massive. A basket ball does not have sufficient mass for gravity to be a significant force, so molecular forces such as surface tension take precedence and behave completely differently to gravity. However if you covered a basketball in water in a zero-gravity environment, the surface tension would probably keep the water around the ball.

5. Planes cruise at constant altitudes where the lift generated by their wings cancels out the force due to gravity. The aerodynamic lift forces are perpendicular to the earth's surface keeping the plane parallel to the earth's surface. The pilot doesn't have to adjust the plane's angle because it occurs automatically.

6. Completely false. A damn lie repeated by stupid people.

7. See response 1. above.

8. Refraction is real

9. Refraction is real

10. Another one where the stupid is strong. Road and rail follows the ground. Designers will incorporate cut and fill where necessary so as not to exceed gradient standards. There are a couple of suspension bridges where the angle between the two uprights is greater than zero despite both uprights being at 90 degrees to the ground, because they are far enough apart for the earth's curvature to have an impact. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory absolutely had to take the earth's curvature into account for its design and construction

And what about Saudi Arabia's plans to build 100-mile-long mirrored skyscraper megacity called 'The Line'.
They are going to need some mega struts for this.

Also;
The Suez Canal connecting the Mediterranean with the Red Sea is 100 miles long without any locks making the water an uninterrupted continuation of the two seas. When constructed, the Earth’s supposed curvature was not taken into account, it was dug along a horizontal datum line 26 feet below sea-level, passing through several lakes from one sea to the other, with the datum line and water’s surface running perfectly parallel over the 100 miles.

Don't forget the Earth is supposed to curve 8 inches per mile.

I have, but never a spinning one where the water sticks to it.

You've been told, several times, that the earth rotates - it's not like a child's spinning top - and that it's so big that we don't feel it.
Do you not believe that or are you trying not to acknowledge/believe that because it disproves your theory?

26 feet below sea level over 100 miles is an arc. It is not a chord. Eric Dubay is an idiot.

If that spin rate was scaled up to the size of the earth, there would be no possibility of life on earth. If the tennis ball was spun the same speed as the earth, one rotation every 24 hours, the water would not be flying off it like in the image you posted. It would be dripping off the bottom due to the gravitational force of the earth.

So what you are telling us is that Flat Earth is an almost exclusively pagan belief.

 

[Lost4words]

Flat earth believers cannot grasp basic science at all!!!!!!

 

[Strong in Him]

I am convinced the bible indeed teaches a flat earth.

It's not the purpose of the Bible to teach science.

 

[Strong in Him]

There is science and science-falsely so called. Science is knowledge. There is good and bad knowledge. Not all knowledge is true. We have to reject certain knowledge, forbidden knowledge. Forbidden knowledge does not benefit us, on the contrary.

And we are continually learning new things.
God gave us our minds and the ability to learn and discover.

Fundamentally, you also have to believe in a globe or a universe. It is a matter of faith and trust. Who do you trust? These things are outside our boundaries. I learned in my life only Elohim can be truly trusted, let all man be a liar.

There are plenty of scientists who are Christians and trust God.

If the flat earth view was good enough for the ancient prophets and fathers, why should I desire anything else.

If a quill pen and parchment were good enough for the ancient prophets and fathers, why should you desire anything else?
Why are you using a computer, which is not mentioned in the Bible and as not used by Jesus or the Apostles?

A globe is not, we have to be told it is so, and it is contrary to Scripture.

No, it isn't.
There are 2 verses in Revelation which mention the 4 corners of the earth - so is it square, or rectangular?
I have asked this of another flat earther and, so far, he has not been able to answer.

The ancient eople weren't stupid, but stood in more direct contact with the Almighty then many of us.

No, they weren't stupid, they simply hadn't discovered all the things which we have.
- Cars, trains, planes, motorbikes, driving licences.
- Refrigerators, oven, microwaves
- Mobile phones, computers, PowerPoint televisions.
- Jeans, trousers, suits, handbags, rucksacks, suitcases, passports.
- Antibiotics, anaesthetics, antidepressants, keyhole surgery, organ transplants.

Are all of these things wrong, or sinful, because they are not mentioned in the Bible?

They were less generations seperated from Eden.

Doesn't mean anything.
In Eden Adam and Eve walked and talked with God. In the OT people built alters, memorials, a tabernacle and a temple to God. Only the High Priest went into the Holy of Holies to meet with God.
Now, through Jesus - the Word who was tabernacled among us - we can have God living IN us. We are temples of the Holy Spirit. What's more we can, and should, live IN Jesus and the kingdom of God.

Do you not believe that or are you trying not to acknowledge/believe that because it disproves your theory?

It's not my theory that the earth is flat & stationary, it is God's & I know who I'm going to believe.

 

[Lost4words]

It's not my theory that the earth is flat & stationary, it is God's & I know who I'm going to believe.

Its your false interpretation of God's word that leads you to believe that the earth is flat.

God does not lie.

The earth is a sphere. This has been proven again and again.

 

[Apple Sky]

God does not lie.

No he doesn't, try reading his words, they couldn't be any more plainer for you.

Reading and interpreting are two very different things my friend!!
