Perhaps you can explain with your flat earth model, how the direct flight from Sydney to Santiago takes less time than the direct flight from Sydney to Los Angeles?
Satan.

Well as you said “the writers of the Bible got it wrong”.
I'd say that if they were writing engineering descriptions. And of course, to you there's no difference, is there? But that's why there are few, if any, flat earth engineers. We understand the difference.

This cycle was born out of observations of the apparent rotation of the sun around the earth.

us flat earth era quote the Bible
And apart from that, do nothing else. What have your lot given ther world? You decry the scientists, yet you depend on what they have discovered and done with those discoveries in every aspect of your life. What have you lot done for anyone lately other than possibly being the proximate cause of global warming by your massive generation of hot air?
and the sphere crowd responds with….
...observed reality, which you lot try in vain to interpret away.

Ah another spherical move of changing the subject. we quote the Bible word for word.
And then misapply it. It's an art, innit?
When God starts repeating the same thing in different books it’s a safe bet He mensvwhat he says.
Yeah, our Lord spoke of the flatness of the earth than anything else. Oh, wait...

But anyway, that's in the NEW Testament. We gotta stick to the original Bible, right?

Flights between Sydney and Santiago take less time than flights between Sydney and Los Angeles. Why should we accept your interpretation of the Scriptures when you can't explain basic earthly things.

Silly goose.
I'm sorry, but every word in the Old Testament was spoken to prophets who handed it off to scribes to write, and then translated into the various languages in which it's been passed down to us. The New Testament was spoken directly by God Himself to His followers. But hey, I know y'all much prefer the Old to the New because our Lord got all soft on us with all His talk of forgiveness and love.

But apart from that, y'all much prefer a God of One Place. He created One Earth, sitting in on Solid Pillars, walled off from the Great Unkown by impenetrable barriers, with some ceiling lights above us, and That's It. None of this infinite space with countless galaxies and endless stars and incalulable numbers of planets. Not for you, you believe in a Local God, the God of Right Here. No worries out who or what, if anything, is Out There. There isn't any Out There. It's just us, some angels, and Him. It's flat, it's solid, it's all there is.

I don't recall our Lord saying anything about the shape of the earth.

Well, we can safely assume that you missed the briefing on the heavenly things. You just assume that they're light bulbs hanging from a cord attached to an imaginary dome.

@southern celt & @lifepsyop do you have an answer as to why flights from Sydney to Santiago take less time than flights from Sydney to Los Angeles, even though on your flat earth model the flight to Santiago will pass directly over Los Angeles, and a flight from Los Angeles to Santiago takes almost 10 hours?

Are you willing to admit that these flight times are physically impossible on your flat earth model yet work perfectly on the globe?

Yes, I'm sure you believe that it's the very word of God; but the rest of the world think's it's rubbish.

This is what NASA wants you to think. Well done to Satan.

And again comes the Dualist Religion of Conspiracy Theorism to its Bad God, Satan. It's more like Zoroastrianism than Christianity, isn't it? Yeah, the Bad God Satan (Ahriman) for some reason wants us to believe the world is round when it actually isn't. Probably simply because he's a negative god as opposed to our Positive God. The Dark Side of the Force, as it were.

And this kind of explains why anyone would deceive simply for the sake of deceiving. The old question, "Cui bono?", "Who benefits?" doesn't obtain at all by any normal standards. Ah, but if it's a game between a good god (Ahura Mazda) and a bad god (Ahriman) then every person won to either "deity" is a point in the game. And from that standpoint, then having coiuntless millions of minions and huge governmental organizations dedicated to playing what appears to be a cosmic practical joke kinda sorta makes sense... kinda. And if you want to look at it like that, then if you're a Good supporter, then we're losing, and the Bad fans are hurling derisive chants at us.

So your lot has rediscovered a long-forgotten pagan "deity" to be scared of. In the meantime, thr rest of us will simply decline to play the game. There's only one God, and He wins, end of.

They cannot explain even such basic things like sunsets, so this is too hard for them. They do not even have a working flat earth model, because its logically impossible in its nature.

The flat earth kind of worked for some primitive societies living just on some plain (like in Mesopotamia), with seas on their borders. Its totally unusable for our modern world. It was already unusable even for geographically larger ancient empires, like Greeks.

Give us a working model of the globe with the stars, sun & the moon
I already did and you thanked me for that, with no other commentary. You do not even remember, again.
