Gravity is just as convenient.

you neglect the fact that gravity makes sense, and everything we know about the universe seems to agree. how about rather than arguing as to why its Impossible for the earth to be round, you take into consideration that it may in fact be possible? Its quite a concept that you may not be able to comprehend, but on the off-chance that you ARE able to deal with it, then why not give it a try. You could say that its convenient that EVERYTHING in the universe works together and it just so happens that the entire world is trying to create a conspiracy to keep the few of you out that still believe in a flat world. On the other hand, Maybe it DOES make sense that the world is actually round. no conspiracy. no "Ice wall". no constant acceleration.

All you have is a stupid FAQ and some stupid people who are dim enough to actually believe in such a thing.

So everything in the universe including the universe itself is inexplicably moving upwards at the exact same rate. boy thats convenient..

moving at the same rate of 1g upwards?

Ok, so all the other planets move around the sun, but ours just sits there, moving upwards ever so slowly eventually out of this galaxy?

quick question. do FEers believe that we ravolve around the sun like the other planets do? and if so, how do they explain how  we are still on the eliptical coarse around the sun, even though the FE is moving up at one g per year?

that is quite ammusing. Also note that they have no actual evidence besides ms. paint pictures and an FAQ to back up their claims. Atleast we have pictures and stuff, and we RE ers dont need a conspiracy theory to feel like were right. I guess nothing will change their diluted minds though

An ice wall made of rock? so why isnt it called a "rock wall"?

again, alluding to the FAQ as the bible of FE ers. why dint you give me an explanation, rather than jsut telling me to go look at some FAQ that some guy came up with

your retarded! I'm pretty sure thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. ok, just stop and think for a second. Was Katrina a fraud as well? pretty sure mother nature caused that one as well, but again, who am I to say?

K, thanks. Its not like a bunch of mirrors are around the magic sun. I dont understand how they could thing that the sun actually acts like that

but global warming and global cooling dont occur at the same time. if that were the case, an ice age would have never occured. unless the ice age is part of the conspiracy as well (which its not, but who am I to say).

k, I'm not going to get into WHY global warming is happening, but I think we all know it exist. So, the inevitable question.. what will happen to the world when the "Ice wall" melts? since the earth is "moving upwards and the ice wall keeps the water from flowing over the sides", will all of earths water flow away when this "ice wall" goes away? The FE ers are doomed..

rentacow. what a great picture of the moon you have up. it looks quite ROUND, but of coarse the other FE people on this thread will account this as being a fraud, or fake picture. nothing will get through to these people

that model says nothing, btw. and no, I was giving you an example.

again with the pizza (just because I feel like spiting you), pretend the crust is your "Ice wall". take a flashlight and shine it on the SIDE of the pizza (parallel to it). you will see that the light goes right over the pizza, still illuminating all parts, and STILL giving you constant day or twilight.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: time zones

« on: June 13, 2007, 05:11:13 PM »

but if the sun really goes along the equator, and the earth is flat, then the earth would be lit up ALL the time. thats the thing about light- it fills up space!

take a pizza. take a flashlight. shine the flashlight ANYWHERE on the pizza, and every other part of the pizza will have a bit of light on it. so by your theory (and thats all it is), the earth is either in constant twi light, or its day time. and quit refering to the stupid FAQ. its not a bible with infinite answers.. You should be able to recite it if its so full of "fact"

« on: June 13, 2007, 05:02:38 PM »

ok, so the earth looks like a pizza right? with a giant wall of ice around the border.. now assuming thats the correct map (cause I've heard of so many), then how does one define the equator? of the RE, the equator is the farthest circumference from the center of the earth. how do you define the equator on the FE since all the distances are equal?

So are you saying that every time I travel to Alabama and I set my clock back an hour, that its completely unneccesary? and how do you explain how its dark New York long before its dark in, say, California? If the earth was actually flat, wouldnt everything have the same time of day and the like?

Flat Earth Debate / time zones

« on: June 13, 2007, 12:36:36 PM »

Ok, so assuming the earth is flat, how do time zones come into play? the reason for time zones on a round earth, is so the days are shorter in winter and longer in the summer (or reversed). this is because in the summer seasons, the round* earth (northern hemisphere -- which is another thing you FE people must not believe in. ) is closer to the sun, and the southern hemisphere is farther away.

On to hemispheres. I was recently in Chile, which is in the same time zone as Atlanta (where I live). at this exact moment it is COLD (mid 30s to 40s farenheit). In atlanta where I am now, it is almsot 90 degrees farenheit. According to you FE peeps, because the sun is 3000 miles away, then most ofthe earth must be about the same temp. which its not.

thanks for your replies
