  • 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

Misleading? Did you not read where she said, "Alaska is located in the
upper-left quadrant of the map"? Have you looked at the upper-left quadrant of a Gleason map?

I've explained this in the post above. Stop gloating.

Okay so A1 got it wrong & so I should have checked, stop gloating.
So I will ask you again, are you satisfied that the emergency landing locations for the flights described in the video are completely reasonable on a globe?

No not at all, as I've seen other videos which also claim this, I will try & look them up.

But we are just talking about the flights in this video. I've shown you the great circle routes followed by those flights on the globe which are nothing like what the guy in the video presented, and the emergency landing locations make perfect sense on the globe. Do you deny this?

By all means find other videos, but I think you will find they refer to the same flights and will give false paths for the globe just like this guy did. As I've already mentioned, @contratodo has posted a similar video in the past which was similarly debunked.

We'll see, I know I'm right about all this, your so called flights go all around the P pot to find the handle.

How strange it is that you've not been able to show that even once.

Nope! Find out which airlines they are and you will discover that their home base is where they are 'refuelling'. It is also highly likely that the passengers are changing planes at that point because they have flights to and from their home base in the Northern Hemisphere to various cities in the Southern Hemisphere, using different aircraft depending on the distance and how popular the destination is.
For example, Air France flies to both Santiago and to Johannesburg, but they do it out of Paris. They don't fly directly between those two cities because they are based in France.
You really are the poster child for Dunning-Kruger.

Melting Antarctic and Arctic ice/permafrost could release ancient, dormant viruses and bacteria, posing a potential public health risk as modern immune systems might lack defenses against these "zombie" pathogens, though the primary immediate threat from melting ice relates more to greenhouse gases and known bacterial releases like anthrax, with "zombie viruses" mostly affecting single-celled organisms currently, but the risk of novel threats emerging from these frozen reservoirs remains a serious scientific concern.


Looks like God's getting angry.

Scientists have been studying core samples of the ice for decades. If there were any dangerous elements lying dormant in the ice, I'm pretty sure they would have found them by now.

Stop wasting your time looking at videos by people who do not understand what they a waffling on about.

This video can be summarised as: A few example flights that had to make emergency landings. Where the flights landed (or diverted to) would not make sense if the earth was a globe.

But the video is wrong. All all the cases, the flights diverted to an airport on or near the most most direct route. The proposed alternatives were further away.

In the video, the lines drawn on the globe are not the most direct route. This might not be very clear from the deceptive video, but is very clear if you check on a globe.

An aside: you don't have to accept that the earth is a globe to be able to see this. Neither does this prove that the earth is a globe.

Why does Horizon & Horizontal sound alike ?

Horizon is the apparent line where the sky meets the Earth/sea (a location/boundary), while horizontal describes anything parallel to that line, meaning level and sideways (a direction or orientation), with "horizontal" derived from "horizon," the root word for the flat, side-to-side concept. Think of the horizon as the what (the line), and horizontal as the how (side-to-side, like a tabletop or a level line

The word horizon derives from the Greek ὁρίζων κύκλος (horízōn kýklos) 'separating circle',[1][2][3] where ὁρίζων is from the verb ὁρίζω (horízō) '(I) divide, (I) separate',[4] which in turn derives from ὅρος (hóros) 'boundary, landmark'.[5]

Of course did you ? Here it is again.

So they say which they have too.

While Gleason used the map to support his flat Earth claims, his own patent application for the map describes it as a projection from a globe. The application states that the map was created by "straightening out of the meridian lines" from a spherical model.
So it was Gleason himself in his application for a patent, who said it came from a globe map: "his own patent application for the map describes it as a projection from a globe."
