Flat Earthers: What They Believe and Why

[Apple Sky]

"A properly designed grass American football field does not lie perfectly flat. The surface of the field often arcs a foot or more from the sidelines to the midfield to allow excess water to drain off. Without a crown, as the raised area is called, a grass football field can become a soupy, dangerous mess. Many NFL fields and high school athletic fields in America utilize this surface drainage strategy."

What Is the Crown of a Football Field?

OK but a football field doesn't curve so much as to see a guy disappearing over it, this is laughable.

Where is the camera placed?

And why is the person not 'zoomed' back into view again?

OK, if we've been to moon, where's the real footage & do you really believe that Nixon made a phone call to the moon on this:
View attachment 356031
LOL'z his phone bill must have rocketed (pun intended)

Use your God-given brain (that the Bible never mentions) and you'll figure it out....or maybe not, seeing as you don't understand the first thing about technology even though you use it yourself for your nonsensical statements.

What do you mean ?

 

[Phil G]

What do you mean ?

The camera is placed right on the surface of the grass so it cannot see over the curve.

And if Dean Odle really wanted to definitively prove that the earth is flat, he would have zoomed the person back into view again without the camera or person being moved from their locations.

He didn’t do this because he knows full well that it is impossible.

I figured it out a long time ago, we've never been to the moon, Period.

No, you were indoctrinated into believing nonsense a long time ago. Period.

 

[Apple Sky]

No, you were indoctrinated into believing nonsense a long time ago. Period.

I've not been brainwashed into anything unlike you guys. Period.

 

[Phil G]

I've not been brainwashed into anything unlike you guys. Period.

Of course, you’re right and we’re all wrong. Who’s the brainwashed one? You!

By this statement alone, you have acknowledged Odle as a liar. He was told the field is curved. He has not acknowledged any such thing. Nor has he repented.

Another argument is that when you look up into the sky, every planet, moon etc etc is a sphere. But we are flat according to flat earthers!!! Doesnt make sense.

Sorry but flat earthers are extremely gullible and easily led and tend to believe in every weird and wacky conspiracy theory known to man, and his dog!

 

[David Lamb]

How do you measure a ball ?
How do you measure a flat plain ?

The verse was;

King James Bible
Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. Job 38:18

You keep going away from what you wrote earlier in the post that gave rise to this discussion about circumference. You claimed that circumference was the same as breadth. All I am saying is that the two things are not the same. The circumference is the distance around a circle or sphere, whereas the breadth it a measurement across, but in the case of a disc or sphere we call it the diameter.

As for the word in Job 38:18 translated "breadth" it can equally mean other related things: breadth, broad or wide expanse.

That’s the thing, people can believe one conspiracy theory or another. With flat earthers, they believe nearly all conspiracies!

Very true. I have seen this many times. They get sucked it all the weird stuff. Easily influenced....

No disrespect to Apply Sky though. I mean no harm in what i think..

By my statement alone has not claimed Dean a liar, your the ones stating this.

 

[prodromos]

Dean was told a lie, I've never heard of of foot ball field being curved, have you ?

Every football field is curved, but no one ever notices because their eyes are usually 44 inches above the ground so their view of the far end of the field is not blocked by the crown of the field. If your eyes are 2 inches above the ground like the middle of the camera lens in the video Dean showed, then your view would absolutely get blocked by the crown of the field. If the camera was mounted just a foot and a half above the ground in his video then there would have been no obstruction to its view.

Dean Odle's claim that the football field was flat was a lie.
His placement of the camera on the ground was delibrately dishonest.
His claim that "that's how our eyes work" was a lie.

Dean Odle is a liar.

Just because you've never heard of something, or don't understand something, does not mean that it's a lie or didn't happen.

It only means you have never heard of it.

 

[Phil G]

By my statement alone has not claimed Dean a liar, your the ones stating this.

No, you have effectively acknowledged that he is a liar. I showed you proof that a football field is not flat, and you at least acknowledged the truth of the matter (even if you attempted to fudge it). He continues to say it is flat despite being told it isn’t. He has not been told a lie as you previously claimed, he is the one lying by the deception of keeping his video up and not repenting of his deception.

 

[Phil G]

Just because you've never heard of something, or don't understand something, does not mean that it's a lie or didn't happen.

It only means you have never heard of it.

And this is a really easy one to check!

I will watch the video again.
