Poll: Connections between biblical literalism, YE, Flat Earth

But then that's why they actually spend their own money doing experiments, while people that believe in a globe just sit on their thumbs and rely on the majority belief....

Flatearthers don't do experiments.

Whereas any observation of the stars, any observation of sunset, and any lengthy aeroplane flight is an experiment.

I tried to get flat earthers to explain observable satellites. Don't think I ever got a satisfactory answer to that one...

I never get a serious answer to my question of how comets work on Flerf and specifically about the ISS.

1. It moves fast.
2.a. If it's a balloon, it would shred at the speed it's moving.
2.b. If it's an aircraft, why doesn't it produce a sonic boom?
3. Why do regular folks on the ground who take photos of it all get the same image - that looks exactly like the ISS is supposed to?

There was no "tallit" as we know it in the first century... I can provide links to 1st century artwork that depict the tzitziot off the robes they wore. It is idiomatic, "4 corners" means "outer most portions" and shouldn't be taken literally in that case or when the the bible says, "the earth's 4 corners."

A sphere has zero corners, so....

That's great... thanks for repeating my point.

Cool thing about a sphere though, now matter where you stand you are at the navel of the earth.

At least I don't hide behind a screen name, "tas8831"

Oh, good grief... name-calling - really?

Grow up.

LOL... he puts my name in quotes as if making fun of it, I point out he doesn't even use his real name (as you don't either) and I am name calling? I don't think so... if I said, "Yes poopy head, my name is Ken," that would have been name calling.
