So how do you explain the tides? They're caused by the moon's orbit and earth's rotation.

Now that's a long story & I'm not sure members on this thread want to hear it all over again.

I don't need all these squiggles, naughts & crosses to see God's glory in what he has created which is a stationary level stable earth with the sun, moon & all the stars circling above us. Simplicity at it's best.

Tell me something, how does water stick to a ball ? (confused.com).

Back to trolling. What a surprise.

I’m all ears! I for one don’t think I’ve seen an answer from you to that one. But I vaguely remember watching a video you posted where someone tried (unsuccessfully) to ridicule gravity and the earth”s rotation causing tides but then never got around to explaining them in any other way.

And I don’t think you have the knowledge or ability to explain it either, considering you don’t understand basic physics.

What you haven't heard the one about the Magnetic north pole, well I am surprised.

Seeing as the Earth's magnetic field is incredibly stable, it would indeed be interesting to see someone explain how a steady, unchanging force will cause wide fluctuations in sea level.

A magnetic rock, a giant whirlpool & salty sea water.

The giant whirlpool sucks in the seawater every six hours then spews the seawater out for the next six hours and so it continues there on, & this is what causes the tides.

All this is based at the center point of earth, the Arctic (the north pole).

Gravity is weaker at the equator because centrifugal force cancels it out.

gravity isn't weaker, centrifugal inertia is increased. also at sea level you're further away from earths center of mass because sea level isn't a sphere. as a result, the difference in gravity is hardly .3% iirc. but enough to be measurable 150 years ago.

these terms are pedantic but are required when reasoning with flat earth'ers.

Now that's a long story & I'm not sure members on this thread want to hear it all over again.

would love to hear your explanation how the earth could be flat but the tides and the moon have an extremely predicable 19 year long cycle that even the greeks had figured out when they made the antikithra mechanism.

you might consider going there yourself and find no such currents. just ice. and lots of it most of the year.

Fantasy. Even if it did exist it would not explain why it is high tide in the Americas while it is low tide in Africa and vice versa. Tides don't alternate from the North to the South as they would have to in your imaginary world. Such explanations only seem to satisfy the extremely gullible and the extremely stupid. I'll assume you belong to the former category.

Fantasy.

What is fantasy is the the earth orbiting the sun.
What is fantasy is the so called moon walks.
What is fantasy is gravity that supposedly holds all the oceans on a ball.
What is fantasy is the moons light is reflected from the sun.
What is fantasy is the supposed curvature of the earth.

All of the above are backed up by evidence and simple observation. What you have put forward doesn't have a shred of anything substantive. It is purely a figment of someone's imagination and completely contradictory to what is actually observed..

Tell me something, how does water stick to a ball ? (confused.com).

If you tried to make water stay on an actual ball, you would fail. Both the water and the ball are like you in that they have weight, which causes them to fall to, or stay on, the earth. The weight of the water makes it stay on the earth, and that is true regardless of the earth's shape. It doesn't stick to the earth, any more than you stick to the earth.

But, as I have mentioned many times to you, water is not affected by magnetism. Also, even if water were affected by magnetism (which it isn't), why do tides go in and out, when he magnetic north pole is always magnetic?

So to explain tides, you have to assume the existence of a magnetic rock, a giant salt-water whirlpool, the North Pole being at the centre of the earth, and water being affected by magnetism. None of these things fits with observation, and none of them is mentioned in the bible.

 

[Strong in Him]

It may seem all nonsense but when you really look into it, one just knows it's not.

Thousands of people have looked into it - really looked into it. They have studied science, astronomy and so on and have real experience and qualifications.
You haven't.
You dismiss them as liars and people who are trying to deceive us, and you believe only what Dean Odle and co tell you to believe. Your source of evidence is YouTube, which does not count as "looking into it."

Oh I’ve heard of magnetic north alright. My compass points there. But tides? Nah

Just because you can’t grasp facts doesn’t mean they’re fantasies.

Your magnetic rock and giant whirlpool explanation is ludicrous beyond any credibility. Might be good for some 1950’s Hollywood fantasy movie but apart from that, absolutely useless at any attempt at explaining tides in reality.

I really can’t understand why you lap up such nonsense when all it would take is a proper effort on your part to understand basic physics.
