  • 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.

If someone is good at equations, it means they understand them and get all their equations correct. How can that "not be truthful"?
The corporations and churches and government agencies are good at equations...... and deceiving everyone they can with them.

Who are you to judge anyone ?
It's not judging, it's stating facts.

Eric Dubay is, reportedly a non-Christian who mocks God (I'm only saying 'reportedly' because I haven't checked). You believe some of his statements and repeat, quote or link to his words.
Some Christians who have walked on the moon have accepted Jesus; yet you call them liars.

So what - Just because someone isn't a believer or a Christian doesn't mean that I have to stop listening to them.
No, but you have criticised Armstrong, Aldrin and co for being Freemasons. The implication there was, "they are not Christians so they are lying" - you even called them deluded at one point.

The truth is that you believe people who agree with your own beliefs.
Even though you criticised Aldrin and Armstrong for being Freemasons, you once found a quote from Freemasons confirming a flat earth - so you posted it and believed it. You would say that Eric Dubay was wrong for mocking God (he is) - but when this God mocker speaks in favour of a flat earth, you believe, and agree with, him.

as written, do not put your trust in man.
Believing that an expert who has studied a subject is telling you the truth, is not the same as trusting IN them.

They MIGHT actually believe they are telling the truth.

But the system they are immersed in is all the way in error, so they cannot.

Why wouldn't it be?

When it comes down to the universe or the earth they are not being truthful take these scientists & their equations they are all just theories.
No one except Tesla is being truthful.
And Don't get me started on vaccinations that were introduced for Covid 19 :mad:

Many facts can be easily checked and verified.
Scientists don't tend to tell you what they believe, but what they know to be true. And that will be because they have data, observations and experiments which point to that conclusion.
But the system they are immersed in is all the way in error, so they cannot.
Which system?

Everyone in the whole world is telling lies - except for one person?
There speaks a true conspiracy theorist, (i.e. someone who believes in conspiracy theories.)
And Don't get me started on vaccinations that were introduced for Covid 19 :mad:
I have no intention of getting you started on Covid vaccinations - I've had enough of your conspiracy theories.
That you decided to change the subject suggests that you can't answer and/or don't like what we are saying.

Says the one who just said, "it's not that I don't trust them, I just don't believe them".

As you're not telling the truth about the shape of the earth, (though I accept that you believe it to be true), does that mean I shouldn't trust you if you talk about Jesus and your Christian life?
I suspect non-Christian would say so.

I'm still waiting for that "simple flat earth explanation" as to why the sun is visible 24 hours of the day in Antarctica during Summer. The flat earth model can account for why the sun is never visible in Antarctica during Winter and why it is subsequently visible 24 hours of the day in the Arctic during its Summer, but it is completely broken for the Summer in Antarctica. In the Arctic it is currently Winter, and the sun is not visible at all during the day.

Flat earthers have truthfully stated over and over that a 24 hour sun is impossible in Antarctica. So what is the "simple explanation" as to why there is currently a 24 hour sun in Antarctica?
Using Occam's Razor, the answer is that the Earth is a globe. It explains everything from the present phenomenon to seasons, tides, the moon's phases, solar and lunar eclipses, star trails, intercontinental flight times, sea and air currents etc. and is completely consistent across all of them.

That is an apt description of many flat earthers. The rest of them know the earth is a globe but profit from pandering to the former.

I'm still waiting for my answer ' Why doesn't the sun rise in the winter ' when it clearly does as can be seen on the video.

Who’s getting you started on Covid 19 vaccinations? Only you have mentioned anything about them up to now!

We were talking about scientists and who we could trust, were we not ?
