The Earth Is Not Flat

[April_Rose]

I wanted to create this topic since it came up in another one,.. now does this look flat to anybody? (There is also no evidence of the earth being flat in the Bible.) Hehe,.. I always pictured God spinning the earth around on His thumb.

Big Blue Marble ...

What about it?

 

[A_Thinker]

What about it?

That's what it looks like ...

Yes and the point is the earth's not flat and I don't understand why some people think that. :/

I don't believe the Earth is flat but I also don't believe that is a real picture of the Earth.

Okay,.. I'm not sure if it is or not but it said that it was,.. but anyways that's not the point. Real or not that's what the earth looks like. We can all agree on that at least right?

The phases of the moon provide strong evidence that the earth is spherical.

Why do you not believe that is a real picture of the earth?

 

[April_Rose]

The phases of the moon provide strong evidence of this.

Evidence that it is flat or that it isn't?

It should look similar to that...

I apologize for the ambiguity. I edited my post. We are in agreement.

Exactly and how could it spin if it was flat? Not to mention people and animals would be falling off the earth by now.

I was speaking in reference to the shadow that the earth casts on the moon. We can see the shape of the earth with our own eyes. No matter where the moon is, in relation to the horizon; the curvature of the shadow remains the same. If the earth was any shape other than a sphere, the shape of the shadow would change in reference to moons position to the horizon. This can be demonstrated with a darkened room, a flashlight, and a couple of household items.

This understanding came to me as I was dwelling on YHWH's moedim. I haven't performed the experiment; but I can work through it intuitively.

You're never going to convince certain people that it's not. They'll call you brainwashed and deceived by Satan.

Lol I find that a little hard to believe that they would do that. XD If that's the case then they would do the same thing for the astronomers.

 

[April_Rose]

They also wouldn't dare to do that when there's already a staff member in this thread.

No.

 

[April_Rose]

No.

And here we go,..
