Title: Few questions I have
Post by: Terry Tibbs on September 01, 2008, 07:48:38 PM
Hello, i'm new here and i have read the FAQ, but pardon me if i repeated any question and please make an effort to explain these questions to me here. I'd also like to ask you people to keep off the sarcasm or anything else like that. Thank you. :)

I wonder about the formation of the solar system. How comes the earth was formed like that? I really want to see FEers explain that to me, please, pretty please, just out of curiosity...

Also, a few things i couldnt help to notice as i read the FAQ...

Quote
"The tides exist due to a slight see-saw effect on the earth. As it goes back and forth, the water rushes to the side that is lower. Note, this is a very slight wobble. Remember, these wobbles are created by very minor earthquakes. They keep the tides in check. Notice that large earthquakes result in large tides or "tsunami".
In order to have earthquakes, you need plate tectonics. How can there be plate tectonics in the Flat Earth? The individual plates would end out separating from each other and going opposite ways in a horizontal movement... Please explain. Thank you.

Quote
The Earth is thick enough to have a core of molten lava. Once there's too much of it in too confined a space, it finds its way out, just like the water will come out of a full bottle if you squeeze it too hard
How does "the heat" (energy) mantain itself in these horizontal beds of molten lava then? In ER it is explained by the exact fact of the Earth being round and the existence of gravity and the pressure held towards the "inner matter" and everything that follows... How do FE'ers sustain this?

And at last, what's the advantage to the "world order" or whatever you call it to mantain the conspiracy? What do they get by letting us know that the Earth is in fact round instead of flat?

Thanks in advance...i count on you people to try and explain these things to me as you believe it...

The answer to you first question is God did it.

Search tectonic plates.

The heat energy maintains by the acceleration force underneath the earth keeping the inner mantle extremely hot.

Money.

Oh I guess you must be the brains of the operation.  So conclusive answers, i'm impressed, wow.

Search tectonic plates? Clearly you know nothing about it.
The heat energy mantains by the acceleration force underneath the earth? Oh crap, I honestly forgot you think we're on an elevator, my bad on that one.

Money.
Only if it is "to spend money", becuse i dont see where no one gets money with such a lie. but i guess FE answer to that would probably be because i'm too deep into the conspiracy to realize or that i should search money or whaveter.

What scares me the most is that you have the wit to believe in all of these absurd things but not in the simple fact of the earth being "round". But i'm just being sort of rude then.

Oh come on guys I know you can do it... Dont pretend you haven't seen this topic... :/

I see how you get your way around with answers here...you dont. If my post was full of crap then probably all these FEers who read it would have been trolling about it in this thread, but dont, i'm yet to see someone who can come up with regular answers...so please, if you're out there, I just want to see some good opinions.

Also, all of this brings me to ask another question...to FE'ers, in order to sustain habitability (if you believe in life in the universe), does a planet have to be flat?

No I am not the brains of this operation.  Quit accusing me of things.

I know what tectonic plates are.  I was telling you to do a search on the forum, its been discussed to death.  Or would you like for me to get out my dead horse whip.  Cause I'll fucking do it.

You don't see how a government with an imaginary space program can profit from spending trillions of dollars and then spending a quarter of that to keep up the facade without having to actually perform anything that they say?  Hmmm your not as smart as I originally thought.

Yes you are being rude.  So GTFO.

I don't know why you say no one answers your questions.  Thats all Ive done in this entire thread.

Yes a planet has to be flat to sustain life.  Thats why we are the only one and no Aliens have come to visit.

Nah, i dont see it indeed, because it's absurd, and it's not what I believe in. If i dont believe in it, i dont see how it can be like that, and if i dont, i can't cope with such thought, because it's too absurd for me, who dont believe it, for it being too absurd to be valid for me to fall for it. Capice?

I've said no one answered my questions because as a matter of fact no one had really done until now.

Whether you believe it or not it is still viable evidence that the world may be flat.

you honestly dont see how this works?
the gub-ment pays nasa to have a space program. nasa says, ok boss, but i need moniez. gub-ment then gives nasa lots and lots of moniez and nasa proceeds to spend a tiny bit of that money because its cheaper to fake it than to actually do it. nasa then profits - big time.
duh.

I can admit that you FE'ers think that planets need to be flat for the gravitation, but... what does it have to do with the existence of life?

Life and the shape of the Earth are two different and separate scenarios.

That's what you say. Oh, oh, sorry, I forgot FE'ers cannot agree in anything.

Life and the shape of the Earth are two different and separate scenarios.

Really? Then why one of the FE'ers says:

Yes a planet has to be flat to sustain life.  Thats why we are the only one and no Aliens have come to visit.

I'm led to believe it goes all the way to the top, so that would indeed make all deities complicit in the cover up.
