I know that your comment above the image was meant to be amusing. And, it is. It is funny. I LOL when I read it - partly because it is funny - partly because it is somewhat inaccurate. (But, it is still funny.)

It is not the ice wall that would prevent people from "falling off the edge of the world"; rather, it is the extremely cold and harsh landscape between the ice wall and the 'edge'. (if that is what is really there; we do not really know)
Funny. Yes, funny. And copied off a flat earth conference site. Not my fault if some flat earthers are so amusing. (shrugs) Basically, the lot of you are somewhat amusing ;)

What would you vote If you were to participate In the poll?
Me: I haven't decided.

My conscience: come on now. you know that isn't true

Me: well yes, but how could a person not tell what I would have voted?

My conscience: You are getting hard to work with. :mad:

Let me see this might be hard for me to figure out but let me guess that the answer would be,because you didn't vote?😂

True. That pesky ice wall just gets in the way though. :mad:


Most believers in a flat Earth think the planet is a flat disk surrounded by an ice wall.

I mean who do the ancient Greeks think we are anyway? The nerve of them proving the earth is round.

Quote from a flat earth conference:
At this conference, they were presenting their scientific evidence for such a disk. One of the more interesting pieces of evidence came from speaker Darren Nesbit, who referred to the "Pac-Man effect" as the reason why planes don't fall off the edge of a flat Earth, according to the science news website Physics-Astronomy.org. When a plane or other object reaches the edge of the horizon, such as when Pac-Man reaches the end of the screen, that object will teleport from one side of the planet to the other, a la Pac-Man entering from the other side of the screen.

Pac-Man. That's deep.
Pac-man? How ridiculous! I thought everyone knew The Earth was a disc supported by 4 elephants on a turtle's back.

No, it’s talked about in Genesis on the 2nd day of creation.
I love the book of Genesis and have read it more times that I can remember. I believe every word of it too. In fact, I believe every word in the bible was put there for an express purpose.

Since we have to depend on astronomers to provide this kind of information, I guess we have to assume that they are correct when they say that the earth revolves around the sun. Since the sun is not a planet that seems logical.
The authors of the Bible dependend how things appeared to them, not Science or speacial revelation related to science. The authors were inspired by God, not dicatated like Satan does to the false revelations like the Koran, Urantia Book, Book of Mormon, just off the top of my head. Joseph Smith looked into a hat with a seer stone in it to get the BOM word for word.

looks like another thread I am not going to keep up on. Anyone with a basic summary of positions?

IF the earth is flat, and I live on the West Coast of America, how can I sail west and reach the East Coast of America? Seems that eventually I would fall off the west side of the earth, right?

OH YEAH!

Well, if the earth is round, how is it the folks living below the equater, like in Australia don't fall off?

All kinds of questions need to be answered. Our so called science and logic may be completely wrong.

IF the earth is round at rapture all those raptured folks would be going away from each other into the heavens

Different compasses,,one weighted for the northern hemisphere,, another weighted for the southern and another for the equator(small wire wrapped around the needle for weight), If not the needle would dip down and hit the bottom or glass(needle for the equator has no weight)....
