watch out other planets because all you round planets are in huge trouble when you come near flat Earth it will poke a hole in your round planet and let the air out and your planet will wither up and fly away like a popped balloon

Proverbs 1
22. "How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?


Proverbs 12
15. The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.
16. A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.


Proverbs 14
7. Stay away from a foolish man, for you will not find knowledge on his lips.
8. The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.


Proverbs 15
2. The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
14. The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.


Proverbs 17
12. Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly.
24. A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
28. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.


Proverbs 18
2. A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.


Proverbs 19
1. Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse. (deceitful)


Proverbs 20
3. It is to a man's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.


Proverbs 23
9. Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words.


Proverbs 26
4. Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself.
5. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.

Answer a fool according to his folly and you will be like him.​
Do not answer a fool according to his folly and he will think himself wise.​

This means that you can't win when trying to reason with a fool, or a delusional person, or a troll who knows better.​


Proverbs 26
12. Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Someone who considers himself Biblically superior to others is even worse than a fool.



That belongs in soooo many threads....

that would mean the wall of ice would be in all directions since it would be at the edge. what kind of gov can have the power to patrol such a vast area, it's also impossible to see the the whole earth in one picture since the earth is round and you wont be able to see the other side.

here is the live feed from the space station http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzMQza8xZCc
I appreciate the link. :D Unfortunately, at the moment, I am unable to view it. :( However, I do plan to watch it as soon as I am able to get past the technical difficulties... :eek:

:)
But the space station doesn't exist, it's just a media figment created by NASA... you know that organization we pay billions to to fool us all.

I don't think you realize just how true a statement this really is... ;)

Ours...

( But, other governments also take part in "keeping an eye out" for 'intruders'. )


it's also impossible to see the the whole earth in one picture since the earth is round and you wont be able to see the other side.
By saying 'whole' earth, I meant having a single complete picture in which could be seen the entire 'circular' edge of the sphere of the earth - along with the entire complete area of that sphere "on this side of the edge" - "all together at the same time in the same picture"... :rolleyes:

I find it incredible that this thread is still running when I consider all the important things to be concerned about.

Miri, honey - you are missing the point of the thread -- which is - proving the Earth to be spherical or flat - only using experiments that "every-day" people could conduct on their own - without simply trusting what NASA and other government-based organizations are putting forth.

All:

Do you think we could all possibly stay on topic?

Do you have any ideas of how the 'shape' of the Earth can actually be proven to an individual by an individual?

:)

Gary,

Buddy, I've been around the world in both directions several times. I've also climbed a tall mountain and saw the horizon. If the world was flat, how thick do you think it is? Volcano's store their lava somewhere. Oil comes from somewhere. Do the majority of stars move? They appear to move because we rotate. Has anyone ever seen the edge of the world?

That's one of the issues with the flat earthers. Few have ever travelled the world, and get their info from a computer screen (which is indeed flat!)

Did the horizon appear to be flat from the top of the mountain? How far [ away ] could you see from the top of the mountain? Did the horizon look any different from the top of the mountain than it does closer to sea-level?

I have been on mountains, too. I have never been on Mount Everest. But, I have been to Pikes Peak of the Front Range mountains in Colorado. The horizon was flat for 360 degrees around.

I have been to places in Arizona where you could see for miles-and-miles-and-miles across the desert - all the way to the distant mountains to the West. The horizon was flat for 360 degrees around.

I have been to the California Pacific Coast and looked out over the ocean to the horizon. It was flat as far as the eye could see!

( I have been to a few other [ relevant ] places that I will not bother to mention; however, my point should be pretty clear by now... )


Please tell me where you have ever been -- where, there was absolutely-nothing between your eyeballs and the horizon ( that might 'fish-eye' skew the view, etc. ) - where, you actually could see "anything-but" a flat horizon...


My eyeballs tell me that I have never in my life seen "anything-but" a flat horizon.


If the world was flat, how thick do you think it is? Volcano's store their lava somewhere. Oil comes from somewhere.
However thick God made it.

Whether it was 10 miles, 100 miles, or 1000 miles thick -- would not 'negate' it from being flat.


Do the majority of stars move? They appear to move because we rotate.
We are stationary, like the Bible says. The sun, moon, and stars [ move in a ] 'circle' up above us.


Has anyone ever seen the edge of the world?
Assuming you mean the actual physical limit - not as far as we know...

Ever consider your size? Of course the horizon will look flat.

you were told and shown.

even given links to Japan's Himawari satellite data, which takes exactly the picture you're asking for every 10 minutes.

here's another one.

http://www.jma.go.jp/en/gms/largec.html?area=6&element=1&time=201611272230

so since you have already been shown many times the things you keep asking to see, what does that make you?
and since you deny you have been given what has been given to you, what does that make you?

here's what the earth looks like less than 3 hours ago, on the opposite side of the Americas.

have fun ignoring the truth.

The astronomical predictions of Ptolemy's Geocentric model were used to prepare astrological and astronomical charts for over 1500 years. (wikipedia) and yet...how many today have even heard of him? I certainly had not until I stopped believing in monkey man science.

NASA documents on linear flight?~
NASA does flight calculations according to a non-Rotating flat earth. just sayin...

Research these guys that gave us all the theories that are now the foundation for "accepted science". Who were these men? So far, from what I can tell they are about as evil and corrupt as today's people in power.

For clarification, I've been on flights, ships, mountains, deserts, know how to use a bubble level, don't care if you think I'm stupid.:)

For truth's sake, since the Bible describes a flat earth, and most people-different religions, for around 4000 years believed it...cast off your government education just this once and look at the evidence. If you think the official pics and vids look real.....nevermind, you've watched far too many cartoons and sifi movies, which btw-were those hollywood movies filmed in outer space?

where appropriate.

like within the atmosphere over relatively short distances.

i've had a graduate course detailing the 8 to 12 different types of coordinate systems used in interplanetary and intraplanetary mapping and travel.

you watched a conspiracy theory video on you-tube that showed you an unrelated image while it told you 20 seconds of flat-out lies, half-truths and misinformation.

so . .

and so it's safe to assume you've looked into Eric Dubay's character and credentials?


((btw yes, i've heard of Ptolemy. i spent 5 years studying astrophysics in university and a lifetime outside of school self-educating. and have you heard of men like Jacob, a sinner just as much, who God also used?))

Don't be "in love" with science/NASA. Especially when they discredit the Bible. Anyone paying attention can easily see they contradict themselves every time they speak. The Bible is truth. God doesn't lie.
