the myth of flat earth debunked again

[Strong in Him]

Yes which circumferences the earth, there is no Antarctica continent at the bottom of the ball.

So it's a ball now? That's good to know.

Antarctic is a continent; it is not an ice wall going all around the earth.

How can something which is not there melt ?

 

[Strong in Him]

How can something which is not there melt ?

It IS there.
Antarctica is a region in the world. You seem to be saying that Antarctica circumferences the whole earth; but even you say that it is there.
Why has it suddenly become invisible?

It is there but it's not a continent at the bottom of your ball earth.

 

[Strong in Him]

It is there

I know.
But you said "how is something which is not there melt?"

 

[Apple Sky]

I know.
But you said "how is something which is not there melt?"

As I've said, Antarctica circumferences the whole earth, it encircles the earth like a ring.
Antarctica is not a continent at the bottom of the ball, the maps show it all wrong.

A 25 hour flight is more "commercially viable" than a 14 hour flight?
They are stopping to pick up more passengers, that's your assertion?

If only 2% of the passengers are going from Johannesburg to Santiago, absolutely. Most of the passengers getting on at Johannesburg are only going to the first stop, and it is a completely different group of passengers doing the hop to Santiago. Only a few passengers are travelling all the way from Johannesburg to Santiago. They are simply hitching a ride on two or more different flights along more popular routes.

Even the 14 hour flight includes a stop, would not the most viable thing be to just go straight to the destination,
going to Sydney, to pick up passengers, is a longer distance than just going straight to Santiago.
And any commercial bottom line is money, a 25 hour flight costs more money than a 14 hour flight,
and not stopping would cost the least amount of money. They have to stop, because they have to refuel.
Look into it, even the 14 hour flight, it's a certain kind of plane, they stop, fill it to the max, and use all that fuel to get to Johannesburg.

If most of the people travelling are only going between the intermediate destinations, the airline is making plenty of profit. They may take a small loss on the few travelling between the two endpoints, because if they didn't the tickets would be way too expensive for the travelers.

It is clear from all the images, that a trip from Johannesburg to Santiago, should be the same relative distance as a trip from Sydney to Santiago. Yet you will not find any direct flight from Johannesburg to Santiago. That is the point. The earth is as the Bible describes.

No, what is clear is you refuse to accept reality and will try and interpret the evidence to fit your preconceived ideas.

But it's not a mirage is it ?

It is when you can see the shoreline and all of the city skyline at that distance, but conditions need to be right for that to occur.
At least you accept that Rob's video is consistent with the spherical shape of the earth.

Another Rob Skiba video? Well why not, after all he did such a great job of proving the globe earth in the previous video you posted.

The only maps you seem to be able to find are projections of the globe.

Of course they are, because the incredible science resource, YouTube, (I really should get commission for the number of times that I write that) says that they are.

You once said that 10% of the world's population believe in a flat earth.
Obviously you have not stopped to consider why a whopping 90% of people don't. Oh, let me guess, we are all wrong; only you and a few others know the "truth"?

To be fair, she has said that the earth is a flat disc - within a square! (It has to be because of the 4 corners of the earth).
How this weird and wonderful shape is suspended, stationary, in space is anyone's guess.

There's no such thing as space, you've been watching to much Star Trek.

No. Are you stupid?

That wasn't a "no" answer to my question.

The Flat Earth Map

Although there is no single official map of the flat Earth, by far the most commonly-used version is shown below.

This thread is possibly heading towards being closed down, due to name calling.
But before it is, maybe I could summarise what we've learnt so far?

The position of FE-rs is that the earth is flat - no surprise there.
At least one person though has said that it is a flat disk, maybe like a DVD. Disks have curved edges, but the earth has no curvature.
This disk - which has, on one occasion, been called a ball - is, presumably, suspended inside a square, since we've been told that the 4 corners of the earth are "further out".
The rim, or circumference, of this disk is called Antarctica which has walls of thick ice. Beyond these walls are other lands but, even if you could get past the "heavy military presence" to reach Antarctica, and smash through the ice walls, you would not be able to enter these other lands because "they" don't want us to. These lands are presumably in the space between Antarctica and the edge of the square.
This disk is stationary in space - ooops, sorry, there's no space - while the sun and moon whizz past, or around it. The disk has a black sun underneath it; its purpose has not been explained (nor how anyone can see it in the dark.)
The statement that the earth is flat cannot be proved. Neither can the statement that men walked on the moon, because ALL photos, and films, are fake - having been knocked up in some basement somewhere. Any photo of the earth, supposedly from space, was made by CGI, which was a big problem in 1969 and led to many scams. The location of the basement has not been given, nor any evidence that it existed.
With me so far?

None of this is taught in the Bible.
None of it is needed for salvation or can affect a person's salvation. Nor can it separate us from God's love.
No reason for its importance has been given.

If my next book was going to be a science fiction novel this would be great for kickstarting some ideas.
But as it's not, I'm going to leave you to enjoy the "debate".
