  • 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

She didn't post a fish eye lens brother. That's a full on fabrication and I've seen much better. The moon is blocking the stars even beyond the surface of it. It's a joke. The moon has a magical surface shadow blocking stars with nothing between the observer and them feet above the surface now? It's horrendously obvious and if people believe that then they are believing what they want, not questioning claims, and buying things simply because they considered someone an "authority" or think they "can't lie" or "won't lie."

When photoshop is being sold as real that has blatant errors in it and people are still fighting to defend it, there is nothing to change their mind. They don't want to see anything but what they already think they see. The alternative is "off limits" and they can't even see any other possibility for reality. It's a dead end for them at that fork in the road, they only have one option.

Arguing with a stop sign is unproductive and hinders people who want to know something because people think they already have it all figured out and nothing will convince them they could ever be deceived by anyone.

I'm not here to prove things to people who think they already know all the "facts." I'm here to tell people who have interest in what things are true and what things are not true that which they would like to look into themselves. If they aren't looking it is simply a wasteful arguing-fest and I consider my time more valuable than that.

Fish eye lenses are the bottom of the bucket for obviously being mislead, but this image was worse.

I addition. . . I'm seeing some seriously heavy emotions attached to this stuff and that is where disagreement becomes insults. I will insult the lie. I will not insult a person who is believing things someone told them, even if it seems to me they should realize otherwise. If I seem to have done so, I didn't intend to and I'm open to being called on it.

It doesn't hurt me one bit if someone cannot see past that, or if they expect me to believe it. But when people start using adjectives that are being indirectly thrown at people for a (very obviously) fake image, I draw the line. Too much emotion, too much attachment, too little discernment.
lol I’m an engineer who at one point in the 80’s worked for Boeing developing components for the shuttle and my father in law was an engineer who worked in the mercury and Apollo programs. The photo I posted is an actual photo taken from the command module of Apollo 8 during their moon flyby on the way back to earth. What are your credentials to tell us what truth is?

This is called repetition and unsupported statements. I'm sorry but that adds nothing to this discussion but us knowing that this is your opinion about the matter.

It does not matter whether you care about my decision not to debate the image. You calling someone's opinion nonsense who called out the image as a fraud does not make it nonsense. That is clearly an emotional response, which is why there is no reason debating the content you supplied.
Nope. The emotional response was yours as you mistakenly compared an actual picture from the command module of Apollo 8 with your game system. Do you honestly think your comparative skills are evidence?

And do you honestly think that this picture that was posted is evidence for a globe ? There's not one image out there that has not been taken by using a fish eyed lens, or has not been done via CGI.

You've been shown many. Your response to all of them has been predictable.

Show me one that's not using a fish eyed lens or done via CGI.

You'll just give the standard "it's fake" review. I mean this has been going in several threads to the tune of thousands of posts. So it's all just predictable repetition at this point.

There are typically considered to be seven continents: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia but as Antarctica is not a continent there are six.
Another one of your bold statements without an ounce of evidence. So in your view, I suppose all the scientists who are/have been based there, and all the explorers who have been there, as well as all the passengers on the QANTAS flights over Antarctica are lying.

It's like talking to a chatbot with a very small language model. It becomes very predictable.

The clock is based upon the enclosed flat and stationary Earth terrarium that we exist in.

Can someone show me a clock that is based on the globe ?

God set two great lights in the firmament & all the stars in order to give us time.

Are you claiming that clockmakers decided to make most clocks circular to reflect the shape of the earth? You might just as well say that footballs, cricket balls and snooker balls are based on a globe earth (and to avoid anyone misunderstanding, I am certainly not claiming such a thing.)

No, clocks come in all shapes & sizes, What I'm claiming is that the clock was made on the basis of of the sun, moon & all the stars.

I am sorry, but I cannot see how, "The clock is based upon the enclosed flat and stationary Earth terrarium that we exist in." can mean, "the clock was made on the basis of of the sun, moon & all the stars."

Even before CGI was available? There are millions of images of the earth out there.
