  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Prove that Byrd was lying
I didn't say he was lying.
Provide a link to the interview in question so we can all see what he actually said.

Of course I believe that verse, but it refers to ice generally, as there is no mention of Antarctica or a huge ice wall.

What do you think the broad waters that are frozen are ? Couldn't be Antarctica could it, or maybe some small village lake down the road.

So Admiral Byrd says "an area as big as the United States that has never been seen by human being and that's beyond the Pole on the other side of the South Pole from Little America"
Below is a map showing where their base called "Little America" was located on the Ross ice shelf. The edge of the continent there is close to the South Pole whereas the bulk of Antarctica extends the other side of the South Pole. That is the unexplored territory Admiral Byrd is referring to, because apart from where their base was established which was relatively close to the South Pole, allowing them to fly to the South Pole and back, the rest of the operation only surveyed the coastline. They never explored deeper into Antarctica.


CF won't let me link to the image inline so you will have to click on the link to see the map.

Admiral Byrd also refers to Antarctica in the interview as the "bottom of the world", so he clearly understands the Earth to be a globe.

There are many lakes (broad waters) that freeze in the Winter.

I thought that the continent of Antarctica had been explored even flown across, no mention of any unexplored land the size of America in any newspaper, TV or there on.

Not in Admiral Byrd's time.

By all means bury your head in the sand.

Also, if you read the accounts from Operation High Jump, you will know that they had 24 hour sunlight for the whole of the mission.

I know this, but you'd think today there would have been some article that would tell us about this undiscovered land the size of America.

It has been thoroughly surveyed by satellite since then. It is really only accessible during Summer and even then conditions can become extremely dangerous with little warning. Operation High Jump took place in the Summer yet they lost one plane due to icing which caused the deaths of three crew members, and they lost a helicopter, fortunately the pilot was rescued.
Wikipedia has a map of active research stations on Antarctica.

Where's the articles about this ?
Why do you need an article? You will just reject it out of hand as it does not fit your world view. I've wasted enough time already responding to your foolishness.

So I take it that after several threads on this topic containing thousands of posts altogether, no one has managed to convince you that the earth is a globe.

Hypocrite! You haven't provided anything that is able to back up your claims, and you haven't responded to a great deal of the evidence we have put forward.
