  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Flat or round earth -The final experiment.

Me too, but if he does I know he will do it for good reason.
No, I can’t agree with you there. If you are keeping a keen interest in this trip, you would know that if he does start that, he won’t have good reason. It’s very open to scrutiny and everyone is to be on equal footing during the trip.

You talk as if you know the outcome already.

Isn't there a fundamental problem with this experiment?

The flat earth participants have to accept that they are near the South Pole, on the Antarctic. How can they verify their location without relying on what they are told by global believing people who are obviously part of a NASA conspiracy, or on GPS (designed by NASA)?

Seeing 24 hours of daylight proves nothing unless you can also prove you are on the Antarctic.

An interesting problem alright. They might think they’re at the North Pole!

But I presume they can verify if they are in Chile, which is where they will fly from to reach Antarctica. I would hope they would realise that they’re not going to reach the North Pole from Punta Arenas, Chile in the time it takes to get to Union Glacier Camp in Antarctica (4.5 hours), even on a flat earth, but you never know….

Does what; denounces others?
I can't see that there is ever a good reason for that.

He's one honest guy & I trust his judgment.
Well if he is honest, then when this expedition proves that the earth is a globe, he'll admit that he was wrong, and tell his followers so.

Midnight Sun in Antarctica is a phenomenon as this is rare or significant fact or event why should this prove that the earth is a globe ?

Too much trust. That’s called blind faith in a person. Besides he misleads on Job 38:14

The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment. Job:38:14

It is basic three dimensional geometry. Midnight sun in Antarctica lasts more than two months every Summer, just like it does in the Arctic, so it isn't rare, and it is significant in that it can't possibly occur using the flat earth model. It proves the flat earth model is bunk but fits perfectly with the heliocentric globe model.

You've been given the context of that verse and it's proper interpretation, yet you continue to abuse it.

What was that you were saying about basing a belief on ONE verse from the whole Bible?

Now read it in context Job 38:12-15 KJV:

12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

It's about how the coming of morning changes the earth like a seal changes clay, and is essentially about shaking out the wicked. It has nothing to do with the creation account.

Thank you for your input, well spotted :thumbsup:

But why does it ? Why should it prove that the flat earth model is bunk ? It's only a model.
