Ever see a sunrise on the beach? If earth was flat would't it just pop up all at once?

It would never be below the horizon in the first place.

Q.E.D.
According to the "vanishing point"
van·ish·ing point
noun
[COLOR=#878787 !important][/COLOR]

  • 1.
    the point at which receding parallel lines viewed in perspective appear to converge.



  • 2.
    the point at which something that has been growing smaller or increasingly faint disappears altogether.




To our perspective looking out on the horizon with a plane flying toward us... wouldn't it have to "appear at the horizon" first and as it flies closer to us, the distance between the horizon and plane "grows" in appearance but in fact the plane never gained or lost altitude. Why wouldn't the same effect happen if the sun was replaced for the plane (on a flat earth)? ~Again, this is a sincere question and I am looking at all options while I learn, we've all got to start somewhere... Knowing that I know nothing compared to the knowledge available is TRUE KNOWLEGE.

The concept of a flat earth CANNOT be proven. I don't even know why y'all bother tryin' to.. jmo
I thank EVERYONE, all sides of the dice for sharing their insights. They help me as I keep an open mind. If it was only a one sided debate then the truth would not shine. I think this is one of the great tools God has for us.

Open your weather app, there's a section for viability. What's the farthest the human eye can see? Like 25 miles at sea level?

i can say the same about you or anyone else regarding the same.
But lets talk about facts...

You are acting like an idiot. He has been talking about facts. You are the one who is either lying because you get a kick out of looking so stupid that you think the earth is flat, or are so delusional as to think the world is flat.

Is your life really so lonely that this is the most excitement you can imagine for yourself, or is someone paying you to act this stupid?

You said you want to "talk about facts". Posthuman has been giving you facts. Why don't you talk about them?

In light of your poor english, I suspect that you have been playing these games under different names for a long time.

Please PM me and let's talk.
The reason you keep playing this game is because something is missing in your life and you don't know what it is.

I am not going to "preach at" you. I really just want to get to know you as a human being. If you are in pain, emotional or physical, I'll pray with/for you about it.

Please drop these shenanigans and let's get real.

(As of this response, I have not read any further, so I apologize if any of this is covered later.)

"I'm still here --- somewhere..." :eek:

The short answer is that I have been working waaaaaaaaaay too many hours...

I have been working 10 - and 12 - and 15 - hour days -- over the past several weeks.

Also, I generally spend a lot more time on CC reading posts than I do writing them. And, it sometimes takes me a good bit of time to write a post ( if there is any length - or 'depth' - to it ). For the past month or so, I am fairly sure that the time I have spent [ even ] reading them is a lot less than in the weeks previous to that.

After clicking 'Reply With Quote' -- and then sleeping in my chair for over four hours before even typing the first word -- and then taking [ 30 minutes? ] to type the post -- upon finishing the post, I went to add a smiley ( the one you see on the first line of this post ) - and lost the whole thing... ( Grrrrr :mad: )

So -- these words are from 'the second time around'.

There is a bit more to what I had intended to say than posthuman is assuming -- there are some "other" things I would like to illustrate and point out -- rather than [ just simply ] "WOW" you with the [ supposed ] size and distance of the sun...

I will try to get some of that into my next post.

:)

Those kinds of hours are tough. I hope you are working the day shift. It gets even worse when you are working those hours at night.

I also hope you are getting paid well for all that time.

Ask God what He wants you to do with all that money, and if He would either cut your hours to what you enjoy, or give you a better job you really love.

Since we honor God in our work, He wants to be directly involved in what we do.

Perhaps He will lead you to be a missionary and you could work all over the globe. :eek:

If the world is flat, why does radio direction finding work as though the earth is a globe?

If the world is flat why can I make ham radio contacts all around the GLOBE right where they would be on a globe? If the world were flat then the direction I send a transmission would not align with where it is on the globe.

UNLESS the "dad gum gumermint" is stealing all the radio signals and rebroadcasting them where the should go. And they must have been doing this since Tesla first broadcast around the world in 1899.

If the world is flat, what are all little TV satellite dishes pointing to that are on half of the homes in America?

Do those who believe in a flat earth consider satellite TV dishes to be demonic deception?

If the world is flat, how many people would be involved in the conspiracy to keep airline pilots and air traffic controllers from knowing the "truth"?

If the world is flat, when did the conspiracy to make it seem round begin?

And why on earth (round or flat) would anyone bother to do so? It would take half of the world's income to sponsor such a conspiracy.

If the world is flat, the conspiracy must have started more than 2000 years ago, because the Antikythera Mechanism is based on the solar system as we now understand it.

OR DID NASA TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO PLANT THE DEVICE IN ORDER TO CONTINUE THEIR DECEPTION?
