Proof against flat earth

[Freodin]

Exactly - to what end? Same with moon landing deniers - whom does it serve?

They, like moon hoaxers and anti-vaxxers, think they are "woke" and thus possess special knowledge, making them 'better' than others. That is certainly how many of them act...

Worse than moon hoaxers, I would say. At least they have an almost reasonable cause for their conspiracy.

US president makes a bold statement, a mighty challenge. Experts tell him: "Sorry, not possible." US president cannot back up - too much loss of face. So they fake it. They still cannot admit they have faked it - too much embarrasment. But, who knows, in 100 or 200 years, when no one cares anymore, the "truth" might come to light.

Conspiracies do exist. Humans - and governments are humans - lie. If they have reasons.


But with the "globe earth"... what would be the reason? To discredit the Bible? Heck, there are millions and millions of people who believe in the Bible, even to the degree of 6-day creationism... and they see no problem with the round earth?

No, the "globalist conspiracy" must simply be EEEEEEVIL! They sit in their underground lairs, and MUAHAHA about the scope of control they excert on the stupid sheeple who buy every lie they get told, even one as stupid as a "round earth". MUAHAHAHA!

I can see no other explanation. I just wonder how I can get my share of their ill gotten gains.


HEY, GLOBALIST CONSPIRACY! HERE I AM! I AM WILLING TO DEFEND THE GLOBE EARTH ON THE INTERNET! SEND A PM TO DISCUSS THE AMOUNT YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY ME!

Dear Freodin,
thank you for your application. I can see you have gone flat out to convince us you would be a good hire. Perhaps you hope to earn enough to buy a nice flat in London. Well, let me tell you flatly, that is not going to happen. You are more likely to wind up flat broke. Even if you try flattery, we shall flatly reject your application. Not only is the position filled, but your rhetoric, while definitely not flat, suggests the hot air of your arguments could soon turn to flatulence. Perhaps you work in the theatre, among the wings and flats, where that sort of thing is acceptable, but not here. Here such a modus operandi falls flat as a pancake.

Your flatfully,

I've discovered proof of the flat basketball.

As you can see the super tiny green line on top of the basketball is completely straight. If the basketball were round why doesn't the green line curve?

GOTCHA! The ball itself says "NEVER FLAT", so your theory is wrong. Also chemtrails hummahummhumma something something the moon makes fires hotter.

The earth is obviously flat, it's hardly fizzy at all. Someone took all the carbonation out of it.

How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!

However, people from ancient times had a pretty good idea that Earth was not flat, due to its curved shadow on the Moon during eclipses.

Also the changes in which stars were visible as latitude changed.

That's the thing. According to scientist, its not a perfect sphere, like you said. Thats ok. But where is the picture of this thing because every is a perfect sphere. Get me? On NASA site, they says their pictures composite image. Ok. So wheres the real deal? The blue marble gives you an idea of what Earth looks like but that is a composite image. What does the real Earth as a poloroid photo look like, not an image based on compiled data generated by a computer. I was taught Earth is a ball smushed at the top and bottom, wide at the equator, sitting crooked on its axis. This is what I believed all my life till I began question it this year, because I have never seen what that looks like. If you have, please post a picture. (Or is this depiction so minor that we dont notice the bulge of the equator, etc. in and those images are true to form?)

You are quite right; the deviation from a perfect sphere is so small that it is unnoticeable. According to Astrophysical Quantities, the Earth's equatorial radius is 6378.136 kilometres, and its polar radius is 6356.753 kilometres. Thus the equatorial radius is only 0.336% larger than the polar radius. Try measuring that difference in a photograph of the Earth, and you will see why the Earth looks perfectly round.

Try measuring that difference in a photograph of the Earth, and you will see why the Earth looks perfectly round.

It took great effort to discover the difference in the 1700s: French Geodesic Mission - Wikipedia

If that were true we would not get eruptions and injections of carbonatite magmas!

Glad for the thoughtful and level headed response, than the basic " this is stupid."

I believe the large amount of proof you are referring to is just a by product of the authority of NASA and government (one and the same), the marketing efforts to popularize and normalize these "scientific" theories, and time and generational acceptance. Once a concept is accepted by the masses and passed down to generations/ or just not refuted, it become traditional and cultural. That doesn't mean its accurate tho. (Remember slavery was cultural, women without rights were cultural, etc.) Scientism, (not science) is very dangerous.

Now when you look into the ones who provide the proof, you can easily see a lot questionable logic. Why haven't we been back to the moon Nasa agents are asked? Because we destroyed the tech and we dont have the money to rebuild it. That makes no sense. Why don't we have an actual snapshot photo of Earth, like we can snap the moon (EVERY single image of Earth is a composite, photoshopped image)? WHy no real photosince we have satellites and probes. No answer. (Niel Degrasse Tyson- popular Astrophysicist- is the one who says the Earth isn't even a ball but an oblate spheroid- more like a pear.) How does water curve to create a ball image, when we see that water never curves? There are the same, if not more, unanswered questions on that side as the flat earth side.

I dont think we will ever know, but in my walk, i must take the bible at its word (which does take alot of faith) over people who believe everything came from nothing, and my ancestor is at the zoo eating a banana. Cant look to liars for truth.

Nor to lunatics.
