Title: Why is the Earth different?
Post by: Soul Eater on February 15, 2009, 02:41:36 AM: I'm new to these forums and have a questions for FE'ers....Why is the Earth so special? I mean, what reason is there for the Earth to be flat when all the other planets are round?

The earth is unique in many ways. How do you explain why life only exists on earth?

The planets are not the earth.

Because gravity pulls towards the center of a massive object, it doesn't pull down. Up, down, left and right are all perceptions.

No, in other words a force we have yet to understand with our current knowledge and technology. But it can be acheived.

What's the Flat Earth's Theory of why we are constantly stuck to the surface? Can't be any better than our "magic" gravity.

This is not the point I'm making. There could be flat bodies all around the universe. We just haven't seen any. Never assume probability is a guarantee.
