  • 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

Once the seed has been planted there's noway from stopping it grow unless it is pulled up and discarded.



People always ask me ' Why does flat earth matter ?'.

In this video it explains why it matters.

@Apple Sky

Thanks for the invite. I’m going to ask you the questions that you did not answer in the now closed thread.

Every day people circumvent the world by ship or by airplane. People start in one city and can circumvent the globe and end back in the same city where they started from. All of this without turning around. And even though we do this every day no one has ever fallen of the edge of the world or even seen it. Why do you think that is?

PS, I want your personal response not a link to a video or any other FE resource.

I see you have, i wonder from the two videos you posted. If this person (scrawny2brawny) is still believing in flat earth I see the Flat Earth rising video is 6 years old and when i went to this scrawny2brawny's youtube page they have not posted something in 6 years.

It happens every day. There are thousands of planes in the air every day. You still did not answer how come no one has ever fallen off the side of the world or why no one has ever seen the edge of the world.

As no one has ever ventured over the Iced walls of Antarctica that encircles the earth.

Because they don’t exist. Look, the permanent bases that are located in the Antartica today follow the coastline around the WHOLE continent. The coastline of the Antartica does not circle a flat earth. There are people there right now as we speak. Even satellites from space have charted the WHOLE earth so the edges would have been seen by now. They only exist in your imagination.

It's what other flat earthers say also.
And they would also be wrong. How come you didn’t answer the rest of my post? Are you unable to or just refuse to?

What other part of your post do you mean ?
Here it is again.

In your world they do but not in mine.
The permanent bases are there no matter what world you live in. The they are there is a matter of fact. You can’t just ignore fact in favor of your error. If you are here to ignore all facts then there is very little reason to continue posting facts that you are just going to ignore.

What does it matter to you if that's what some people want to believe?

So according to the flat earth model, the sun is approximately 3000 miles above the surface of the flat earth. Let's assume March, when the sun is travelling above the equator. When it is noon in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the sun is rising in Guyana and East Venezuala and it is setting in Indonesia, which are roughly six and a half thousand miles along the equator from Congo in each direction.

Using basic trigonometry we can calculate the angle to the sun as it will appear in the sky when it is rising and setting according to the flat earth model. Tan of the angle is equal to the opposite (height of the sun) over the adjacent (distance to where it is noon). Therefore Tan(angle) = 3000/6500, which comes to roughly 25°

However, in reality the sun is at an angle of 0° when it rises and sets. Thus the flat earth model is falsified. There is no amount of atmospheric refraction that can account for that difference as the maximum angle of refraction measured is about 2.5° in the Arctic where the cold air is more dense.
Perspective can't account for the difference as it only affects perceived size, it doesn't change angles.

Flat earth fails at the simplest level and it gets worse as you delve into more complex issues since their explanation for one phenomenon contradicts their explanation for another. To believe in flat earth requires suspension of rational thought, as it is contrary to all observation.

Even when it is midnight in Punta Arenas, the angle to the sun on the flat earth works out to be just under 10°. Still well above the horizon. Flat Earth is total bunk.
