G R A V I T Y. Does not work on a flat disc.

I wonder if a meteorite big enough would go right through a flat disc or cause it to tip spilling everything on it, off of it.

We would not have night and day if the earth did not spin and we would not have seasons if it did not go around the sun.

You guys are so funny. All these jokes about a flat earth. :cool:
The saddest part is they are not joking . . . believe me . . . I know people who right around me believe this stuff, and nothing or noone or any kind of evidence will change their mind! I fear if they get to heaven and see the round globe of the Earth from there, that they will argue with the Lord . . .

Years ago the flat earth society, and yes they're serious, chartered a cruise to prove the earth is flat.

o_O:ROFL: Honestly, it's as if James Cook had never been born, let alone gone to sea!
Aren't nautical charts & modern satellite navigation systems based on the spherical earth we live on?


Do you know what happened to them?

How ironic you would say that in defense of your flat earth belief

Still using the one-liners I see. People who are aware of the extent of God's creation, that is the expanding universe, are not flat earthers. Why would you think people who see beyond your unrealistic version of the world are the ones who believe blindly? That is quite the diversion you offer and of course it could be described as personal in nature.

When people fall back on the you are dumb, ignorant, uneducated, stupid or whatever reason for not believing as someone else does (you in this case), it becomes nothing more than an ad hominem fallacy. People, again you in this case, do this when they reject or criticize another point of view based on their own reasoning and lack of solid evidence of what they say.

People are not all living in the backwoods in caves somewhere and it is more than obvious that 'people' always question or we would not have the flat earth society telling us the earth is surrounded by a giant ice wall, more reminiscent of GOT than anything else.

Your theory holds as much water as a sieve. It leaks nonsense rather than water though.
People who believe the earth is flat (or, at least, that it is not a spinning ball flying through space) are the people who have questioned what they have been taught/told and do not blindly accept it. Everyone else seems to be happy to believe whatever they are taught/told.

The 'People' you call aware - really are not - they only think they are. And, if-and-when their eyes are opened to the truth, they will see just how far-and-wide-and-deep the deception really goes...

For those people, cognitive dissonance compels them to resist even the slightest notion that they could be wrong and even the smallest suggestion that they might look into it with some personal research and use real critical thinking to discern the truth. In effect, they are psychologically afraid of knowing the truth - because, it would "hurt their pride" to discover that they have been "duped" their entire life.

Those people - since birth - have always believed what they have been taught/told; however, Flat Earth folks - while they were taught/told the same thing as everyone else since birth - have had their eyes opened to the truth about the deception that is rife in all of our lives since birth.

After the Bible - this is one of the most true statements that I can attest to out of the knowledge and experience of my life:

"Truth is available only to those who have the courage to question whatever they have been taught." - (Author Unknown)

And, that is why it is in my signature - to encourage people to think about the things they believe in blindly and never question.

It is never my intent to call anyone dumb, ignorant, stupid, etc. for believing differently than I do. I respect their right to believe whatever they wish.

If I "criticize" a different view - I am doing so concerning the view and not the person who holds that view. There is a difference - don't get 'em mixed up... ;)

You should never trust the Flat Earth Society - it is 'controlled opposition' - and, will only confuse you concerning Flat Earth.

We have pictures and video of the ice wall - some of which have been posted in threads on CC over the past few years.

Gary, part of the problem with this is that you treat those who disagree with you as though they are ignorant sheep.

Has it ever occurred to you that many of us have done our homework, checked things out for ourselves, examined the evidence, and come to a different conclusion than yours?

Maybe the earth is like tube, round and flat on the ends. The sky would roll up nicely on it...like a scroll! :D

the issue is ascribing to scripture, which is not a scientific journal, proof of a flat earth. those folks are still looking for those unicorns
What? o_O Are you not willing to believe "God said..." ??? :eek:

Is a man-made scientific journal to be trusted more than the Bible?

The Bible does in some measure speak to the physical shape of the earth.

Do not accuse me of saying that the Bible says "The earth is flat." - I am not saying that. However, what the Bible does say - describes and illustrates an earth that is, at the very least, not a spinning ball flying through space.

BTW - if the Bible says that unicorns are real - I believe it! :)

FYI - Strongs says that a unicorn is a wild bull. :geek:

If such is indeed the case, then I suggest that we change the name of this website to "UnicornChat".

After all, I've read a lot of "wild bull:poop:" here.

lol.

Pardon the interruption...
