  • 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

I agree, they can't prove nothing unless it's from a text text book & then they are all fairy tales, this is why I'm sticking with God and his word, at least this way we are guaranteed the truth.
Yet God's word talks of sunsets. You have said that you cannot explain why the sun should set on a flat earth, so that halfway through setting, we see half of the sun, not the sun getting smaller and smaller with distance. The same with when large ships pass over the horizon - the bottom of the ship disappears first, then the middle, finally the top. Why do such things happen on a flat earth? You have said it's perspective, but perspective doesn't make things gradually disappear bottom first. These things are what would be expected on a spherical earth.

I do agree that God's word is guaranteed truth.

The only thing they are proving from a text book, is they believe the text books (a science book) version of creation over The Bibles.

And actually a science text book would not call it a God creation. More than likley the science book calls it a formation or origin
It depends which science books you read. The Institute for Creation Research, Answers in Genesis and other Creation organisations publish books which stand firm on the Creation of everything by Almighty God.

If the sun followed a circular circuit over a flat earth as you claim the Scriptures say, then the sun would never rise and set.

And this is exactly what happens.

Sorry, what is "exactly what happens"? The sun following a circular circuit over a flat earth, or the sun never setting? Both pf those were mentioned in the post from Prodromos to which you were replying.

The problem you have is you are no longer ignorant. It has been explained to you multiple times that:
  1. All observation confirms a rotating globe earth.
  2. Your interpretation of Scripture is in error
So you are not ignorant, you simply choose to bury your head in the sand.

I'm sorry but quite the opposite is true.

That the sun never rises or sets, it only appears too us to do so.

Evidence? Just making a statement that something isn't true is not discussion, which is surely what these forums are for. Otherwise, threads like this would consist of soe of us saying things like, "The earth is spherical," and others saying, as you do, "The earth is a flat disc."

But the bible says it rises and sets. Anyway, why, on a flat earth, does the sun appear to rise and set? You have often posted an animation showing the sun circling over a flat disc earth, but it doesn't go down below the "edge" of the earth. I couldn't find the actual image you have used, but it was something like this one:

And right there you deny Scripture, when it is you who constantly accuses others of denying Scripture. You are such a hypocrite.

To hard to explain here.

This is b/c it doesn't, the sun never stops circuiting the sky & night & day depends where the sun is, as the image shows.

The Bible also states that the sun circuits the heavens.

King James Bible
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

And that reality is caused by the rotation of the globe earth. The earth rotating causes the sun to circuit around the earth.

So both must be true. And both are to be expected on a rotating, spherical earth.

Too hard to explain? Why is that? Do you mean that I might not understand the words you use? If I don't I can ask.

But the image is false because it doesn't show the sun setting.

From every point on their flat earth model, the angle to the sun from the horizontal plane never drops below roughly 10 degrees. So on the flat earth the sun will ALWAYS be up above the horizon. It can NEVER set, nor appear to set.

So the sun doesn't circuit the heavens ? This is weird as the the Bible states that it does.

Nobody said that. But you said that the sun doesn't rise or set, and the bible says it does.

That is the opposite of what I just said.

And I didn't contradict that. You do contradict the Scriptures that state the sun rises and sets by claiming that it only appears to rise and set, yet you are unable to give an explanation of how that can be.
