  • 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?

You said, 'People have investigated, and photographed the earth from space. Anyone can clearly see that it is a globe' and my reply was 'Yes from their CGI images, take off your blinkers.
No mention of CGI of the 69 moon landings.
It was during the moon landings that the earth was photographed.

whats that phone call all about from Nixon :tearsofjoy:
I live in Sydney, Australia and my eldest daughter is currently living in Wisconsin, USA and we regularly have video chats using technology that is not so different to what enabled Nixon's conversation with the astronauts.

Very nice it looks too, enjoy :)
No idea what these numbers mean. ????
The 33 degrees means 33 degrees south of the equator. South because there's an S at the end of 33°53'32.7"S.

And 151 degrees means 151 degrees east of the Greenwich longitude (which runs through Greenwich near London). East because there's an E at the end of 151°16'21.8"E.

Here's a map that shows those lines:

Long and Lat.jpg


You can see that the intersection of those two lines is at Sydney. At my local pizza restaurant. Got it?

And you have no answer why the sun, moon and stars are seen in the sky moving over the earth and not thousand to millions to billions of miles and light years out in and outer space.
Sure I do, but you simply reject it out of hand and prefer to remain in your bubble of ignorance

So how do flights to Santiago from Sydney take less time than flights to L.A. when the flight to Santiago passes over L.A. on your flat earth map? Even a five year old can tell you that it couldn't be possible and yet these flights occur multiple times every week.

You don't, you have absolutely no proof the created lights are thousand to millions to billions of miles and light years out in and outer space.

Got Google Earth? In the search facility, paste in this:

33°53'32.7"S 151°16'21.8"E

It's where I am going for a pizza tomorrow night with the family. Do you know what those numbers represent?

:sleep:

A child can tell that the line from Sydney to Santiago on your flat earth map is nearly twice as long as the line from Sydney to L.A., and that the 'long' journey cannot possibly be shorter than the 'short' journey. So how does it work on your flat earth? How do you explain it?

Really? Well, whadyaknow...

I've been to the restaurant on the ground floor but I'm a member of the RSL on the upper level. That's our local. Happy hour 4 - 6. Sit on the balcony with my wife, look out over the beach, watch the sun go down and count my blessings.

Double click the pic and you can swivel it around to see how close to the beach it is. I live a ten minute walk from there.

And I've flown both routes.

So you need to explain it. If you say the world is flat and we have a map of the flat earth and it doesn't match direct experience (my direct experience) and it doesn't match just a simple visual observation then either my experience and our simple visual observation is wrong or the map is wrong.

What do you say?

I used to live a few blocks back from Coogee beach, but that was a wife and three children ago ^_^
I now live out in the South West, closer to the new airport

At least i have the humility and honesty to say i do not have answers to God's creation. Instead of pawning off lies as answers.
What you claim is humility, I see as stubborn pride.

Yes, you really do. If you make a proposal and we have solid evidence for one conclusion and you have none for the other, then you have failed in your proposal.

It's that simple. You either explain it or I'm calling it.
