  • 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

Not have a circle but is a circle.
Where does Isaiah 40:22 say that the earth is a circle? It says that the Lords sits upon or above the circle of the earth. That doesn't mean "The earth is a circle", just in the same way as "the trunk of the elephant" doesn't mean that the elephant is a trunk, or "the engine of the car" doesn't mean that the car is an engine.

So are you claiming that the flights between Santiago and Sydney are somehow able to fly at nearly twice the speed they are actually capable of? That is the logical conclusion of the flight path Rob is suggesting. Odd that there is no mention of the beginning of his flight going up the West coast of South America, across Mexico and over the West coast of the USA. I would think that flying over land instead of ocean would be pretty obvious. Did he not bother to look out his window for the first few hours of his flight?

As regards his compass anomaly, I think that he would need to take his compass to different parts of the plane to check if there was any magnetic interference. It also wasn't clear from his video which direction he was pointing the compass. He claimed he had it pointing to the front of the plane but that cannot be confirmed by his video.

The last bit where Rob says to use a spirit level is where the video plunges into abject stupidity. A plane doesn't climb because the nose is pointing up, it climbs because the forward velocity is creating enough upward lift from the wings to exceed the affect of gravity on the mass of the plane. Haven't you noticed that the nose up the plane is "up" when it is landing? Why is it losing altitude if the nose is pointing up?

Level flight simply means maintaining the same altitude above the ground. It wouldn't make a difference whether the earth were flat or a globe, level flight would mean the same thing. Rob's claim that on a globe the plane should keep gaining altitude is brain dead nonsense. Just like the idiotic claim that if you fly due East at the equator and keep flying straight, that you will eventually end up at the mythical ice walls of Antarctica.

So you admit to not understanding Scripture in this verse, yet you are adamant that your understanding of other verses is the true understanding and that we are all wrong.
That seriously discredits your testimony.

From a thread started by a person on this site.
I'm highly skeptical, scienfitically-minded, and the type of person who simply needs concrete evidence in order to believe something is real.

The result of a globe earth, evolution, outer space, etc.. all connected to the deception of science. To cause people to see The Bible as a book of fairy tales.

So the result The Bible is an untrustworthy book, but science is completely trustworthy. Because they have successfully been able to present their deception as truth.

I admitted nothing of the sort.

Here is what @David Lamb said.

So you have no idea why the sun rises and sets, and why halfway through a sunset we see half of the sun, not a sun getting smaller and smaller with distance.

To which I answered 'NO'

So to that extent, you cannot understand any of the bible verses that talk of the sun rising and/or setting, and how those verses fit with other verses which talk of the sun circuiting the sky.

Why is it that everybody seems to like twisting my words ?

I never said that I didn't understand Scripture.

Because that is is what people of science do, that is their game.

I must humbly apologise if I gave you the impression that I was twisting your words, as that certainly wasn't my intention. The bit about you not understanding Scripture seemed to be what you yourself were saying when you answered no to these words of mine: "So you have no idea why the sun rises and sets, and why halfway through a sunset we see half of the sun, not a sun getting smaller and smaller with distance." My point was not meant to be judgmental, but just saying that if you have no idea about why sunsets happen, to that extent, those bible verses which mention sunsets must be difficult or impossible for you to understand. But maybe I have misunderstood what you meant. Let me just assure you that I would never deliberately twist your words.

Well in your own words prove to me that the earth does orbit the sun.
Been there done that a few times already. Why should I waste my time again when all you are going to do is either post one of your buddies YouTube video or just use your laughing hysterically emoji.

Anyway, pick up a science book. It’s all there for you to see.

They can not, if they were standing in a field with you. They could not prove any of their science deceptions. Especially the sun, moon and stars being in an outer space millions, billions of miles and light years away. They could not prove the sun is a star or that stars are suns, etc...

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.
