Flat Earth Q&A / Re: Antarctica is a continent
« on: January 04, 2012, 08:13:50 AM »


You've yet to provide any evidence that has not priorly been debunked.

Debunked, naturally, In some other thread that never actually concluded anything, buried deep in the archives, that you'll refuse to link to and instead ask us to "search" for it.  ::) right.

The creation of God, should he exist, is much like the creation of existence (as in, the stuff that made the Big Bang). The need for a creator arises from the assumption that it was created, when in reality it was likely always there.

Also, since God is an 8th dimensional being he may well have created himself.

...So, you're saying there was no Big Bang to start existence and God is a Paradox?

Alright. I'll use small words. Things would look very, very different if plate tectonics were real.

How would things look different?

The ice wall is just Antarctica.

To clarify, Sometimes Antarctica is an Ice wall, sometimes it's its own continent. Both situations cause inconsistencies unique to a flat earth Paradigm.

Now, ignoring any argument that relies on god, Why is the earth flat?

In what way does this question make any sense whatsoever if we aren't using an argument that relies on a Creator?

Why does the answer rely on a creator?

Because asking "why" implies intention.  A purpose.

Or a simple cause.

Why did that stick fall off the bridge? Because the wind swept it away.

Why is the Earth Flat? ...

At the edge of the atmosphere in FET you are looking down at a circle.

At the edge of the atmosphere in RET you are looking down at a Sphere.

It looks like we're at an impasse then, doesn't it?

Better luck next time Round Earthers.

Concession Accepted, Tommy Boy. Glad to see you've given up on Flat Earth Theory.

Actually rational thought would avoid making unfounded assumptions regarding a creator and its properties.

Unless of course you have incredible, previously unknown knowledge to share with man-kind.

I'm not assuming anything.

If our Hypothetical creator Does not have a creator himself, then you still have to find his origin(which you can't). If he does, then you have to find out what made that creator, and then the question repeats itself ad infinitum, which is insane. It's a simple concept even a child could grasp.

I say creator as opposed to god, because said creator could simply be a couple of Fairies wearing Boots, or the Personification of Bullshit. Or God.

And since the Concept of a superior being who made everything is unfalsifiable, it's more intellecually honest to act as if he doesn't exist.

Now, ignoring any argument that relies on god, Why is the earth flat?

It seems you are impossible to discuss a topic with. I would liken it to attempting to force a calculator to divide by zero. I can press enter all day but it will never process such an equation. Likewise, I could post over and over again that your questions have been answered and you would never know. You cannot comprehend what is going on and you never will. I do not pity you.

Sounds like an apt description of you and everyone else on this site.

What do you mean by who made him? How does that question make sense and how is that a relevant question?

Everything comes from somewhere.

If a creator is Real, and he made a flat earth for "unknown reasons", that would be acceptable.  But then, that begs the question of where the creator came from, and who/what made him?

It's relevant, because we cannot consider A Creator of a flat earth without also considering where said Creator came from. Do you understand that?

Now, assuming the Creator had it's origin in another creator, we must consider the possibility of an infinite regression of creators, with no determinate origin. This is completely irrational, and therefore cannot be considered a proper explanation.

Hence, Who Made Him?

Do you require further and unnecessary elaboration, or will this suffice?

It's an utterly ridiculous question.  If indeed there is a Creator, and He indeed had some reason in mind for making the Earth flat, how are we as mere mortals to divine His infinite intentions?

If there is, who made him? If there isn't, then why is it flat?

Tausami has already answered both of your original questions. The earth has always been more or less in the same continental state it is in right now. You seem to have trouble seeing how that answers your questions. Are you even aware of what you're asking?

Are you daft?

According to Continental Drift Theory, all modern continents spawned from a single one called Pangea.

My question is simple.

Assuming a Flat Earth, how would the continents have developed differently in a Round Earth Environment?


My question assumes it is real, meaning that no, they haven't stayed the same. And he even ignored my second one.

And as an aside, How did Antarctica become a wall of Ice in a Flat Earth Setting?

Your failure to debate for yourself and needing to rely on someone else to think for you is not my problem.

I'm not seeing any curvature. All I see is flatness on the first picture and a circle on the second picture. As FET predicts, being that high up you would indeed see a circular light pattern due to the sun's light. This is not the first time this has been posted, which is why I laughed. You round earthers try the same things over and over again. Its pathetic, really.

As RET predicts, being that high up, you see the curvature of the earth because it's round.

Nice pictures. Too bad they're going to call fake on these. Or say bendy light.

Not really. He dodged it by saying continental drift didn't exist.

The question is hypothetical in nature, and assumes it does.

That doesn't explain why you take all your information from inaccurate, secondhand sources.

To bring this thread back on topic. My original questions, which haven't been answer much to my dismay.

A highly accurate source of information with much research behind it. ::)

I'm not Christian, but I take many different bibles into account. Your "science" is as incoherent as it is silly and implausible.

Meaning you Mix and Match different Faiths? How does that work?

Actually, the lack of existence of plate tectonics is completely relevant. The Earth was formed as it is, more or less. There are other threads about this.

Not to my question, which is hypothetical and assumes it exists, regardless of whether it is real or not.

But presuming Plate Tectonics didn't exist, how would Volcanoes and Earthquakes be explained? What about continental Drift? What about Fossil Records?

Volcanoes have nothing to do with tectonics. They're just holes into the Earth from which magma can spew.  Earthquakes come when the aforementioned magma creates a massive cavern, much like a caldera, which then collapses. Continental drift doesn't exist, and what about the fossil records?

Fossil Records and other things related to Continental Drift.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_drift#Evidence_that_continents_.27drift.27

Now, lets assume the world works the way you say it does. "Magma" spews out of holes in the ground. But where does it come from in the first place?

Furthermore, wouldn't the collapsing of large underground caverns create significant depressions in the surface? "Size of Texas" significant?

Presuming that neither Continental Drift nor Plate Tectonics exist, how would the formation of mountains be explained? Considering that if they'd been  formed "As is" they would've eroded by modern times.

Furthermore, how do you explain the current shape of the various continents? (Especially how Africa and South America fit like puzzle pieces)

I believe that subterranean dragons are the source of terrestrial volcanoes, and submarine dragons (i.e. sea serpents) are the source of underwater volcanoes. Very few species of dinosaurs were ever recorded to be on multiple continents. These are thought to be cattle for some larger, dominant, intelligent dinosaur which traded them between continents.

That's actually a pretty interesting Belief. How did you come to it?

Various biblical references.

And the Death Star blew up Alderaan. Your point?

A fake picture of a fake death star=a real picture taken on the moon?

A fake picture of a fake Death Star= a fake picture taken on a fake moon.

Oh how my eyes deceive me, I see the moon in the sky every night.

And that's not where that picture was taken.

Where was that picture taken then? I expect evidence to backup your claims as well.

Maybe Arizona, Nevada, etc. You get the point.

How can you be sure it's fake? Did boot wearing fairies tell you?

When heat treating items, we are subjected to temperatures nearing 2000 degrees F. 

Yeah...right.  Even if this is true, what you are describing is not even remotely comparable.

There are more issues than just the question, "Is it possible?"  If we assume that it is possible to design such suits, surely we can agree that they must have tested the suits extensively to determine that they would protect the "astronauts" from the 250 degrees of radiation heat.  Or would the astronauts just say, "What the heck, these suits will probably work."?  A person would have to be crazy to walk into 250 degrees without being certain that the suits would protect them.  But there is hardly ever any mention of the issue.  In fact, most people are oblivious to the fact that the alleged astronauts were subjected to 250 degrees of radiation heat on the moon.  I bet most people probably think it was cold on the moon where the astronauts were. 

If they were really surviving in such extreme temperatures, it would be talked about by NASA a lot more.  It would be considered a much bigger part of the story than it is.  As things are, it is not really part of the story at all.  It's one of those things that NASA doesn't want people to think about.

Because it wasn't that big of a problem? The only heat is transmitted in a vacuum is by radiation; An astronauts suit is white in order to reflect as much radiation as possible, and therefore minimize the amount of heat absorbed. This protection is compounded by several layers of insulating garments designed to protect against extreme temperature changes, not to mention a water-based cooling system.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo/Skylab_A7L

And mind you, NASA does point out how extreme temperatures in space are quite often.http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_sp_ht.html
