Title: Map
Post by: Tommi Atkins on May 15, 2016, 03:48:51 AM
Hi.
Anyone got a map of the flat earth with a working scale?
Thanks in advance.

Of course, I mean there wouldn't be a flat earth society if they didn't have a working to scale Map.

Papa Legba or Jroa will help you with a scale map

Don't thank me! I would like one too! I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.

Map!  Wot map? They don't know if it's the "Ice Wall" map or the "Bipolar" map.
Look up "map" in "the Wiki" and you get:
  ::) ::)
Quote
Search 
Found "map" in 0 "pages"
No pages matched the search criteria
  ::) ::)

I believe this site used to show both of these in "the Wiki", but it seems "to have got lost". Guess they got too much criticism.
Quote from: the Wiki in "the other place"
Antarctica
Antartica is the name given to the southern polar region of the earth.

There are two main theories concerning the nature and extent of Antarctica. The first and most widely accepted theory says that Antarctica is a portion of ice surrounding earth, and that in its end there is a huge wall of ice (with different sizes depending on the subtheory) which is the edge of the earth. The second theory says that the center of the earth's surface is the point where the Equator and the Prime Meridian meet, and therefore Antarctica is a distinct continent located at the South.

Below are images of the two flat earth geographic models, which convey the different concepts of Antarctica within flat earth theory:
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w433/RabDownunder/FE%20Ice%20Wall%20Map%20-%20co-ords_zpssfzmbeef.jpg)
The Antarctica Ice Wall model, the the most widely accepted.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w433/RabDownunder/Flat%20Earth%20Bi-polar%20map%20-%201272_zpsfub8glzp.png)
Another alternative model descripting Antarctica as a distinct continent.
There is still an "ice wall" in this model, but it not Antarctica.
Beyond the rays of the sun the waters will naturally freeze.

That So this is actually from T F E S.org.
The Bipolar map is also an Equidistant Azimuthal Projection. This time centred on 0°N 0°E.

I have used the Gleason map which is the same projection, though I am sure it does not have official approval.

1892 New Standard Map of the World
Since "the Wiki" states "The figure of 24,900 miles is the diameter of the known world",  I have assumed we can use this 24,900 miles (40073 km) to scale the map. Mind you I think they  ::) borrowed  ::) the size from the Globe - I don't see much evidence of the Flat Earthers having measured anything of this magnitude.

I have a fairly high resolution version of "Gleason's" map.

Post by: Tommi Atkins on May 15, 2016, 01:52:17 PM
The gleeson map is the most popular. I did note that the USA is only 60 miles wide on it and I could walk across the UK in a short hour.

Has any flat earther a map they can provide?

Post by: JohnRozz on May 15, 2016, 03:11:50 PM
deception at its best, my dears...

well, since Gleeson's it's FreeMason's official map for the year 1892, I guess it should be kind of accurate, at least for the time...

Sources? What's your problem JohnRozz hath spoken, and is was so!

He's just the latest Rottweiler they have imported to knock this site into shape! Got a bit tough for our resident floor sweeper.

What seems a bit odd is that not that long back Flat Earthers were pushing the "1892 New Standard Map of the World" (Gleason's) as the magic map of the Flat Earth. We were trying to tell them it was just another projection of the Globe!

Gleason's has never been a map that any Globe supporters favour - it's always been used as a "Flat Earther's map! 

What a laugh,  now  we have  JohnRozz telling us that the map some FEers love is a Freemason map!

Surely seeing a Freemason symbol every time anything resembling a triangle pops up has got to be some psychological disorder.

Maybe the "Humble_Scientist" can help! He gives free remote diagnoses without being asked!

AHAHAHAH YOU ALL MAKE ME LAUGH A LOT GUYS.

I was an atheist, I just found out there's a GOD, and my whole life changed.
Never felt better before, I'm full of joy and my energy is intense.
even in my atheist phase, I've always managed to be a good person, because love, empathy, real enlightment, joy, peace, love for life etc. has always been there. I had faith in science, till I realized you hijacked science thousands years ago, and that it's all a joke.

god creation is everywhere, I gave a look at things from another point of view and understood everything.

you're exposed in my eyes. but you'll lose.
may GOD save your soul anyway.
I'm a son of god, we all are, but I know because I've faith, in the right one.

meanwhile, please don't do anything of what you usually do, like raping people, orgies with animals and childrens, sacrifices etc.

You are ignorant easily manipulated and a lesser human being. That's just my opinion but one we are all intitled to.

Please read the satanic bible before making wild, offensive accusations.
I've read nearly every bible, and have given them equal consideration in my belief system, I don't feel it's prudent to judge anything without doing the research first.
Apologies for what seems like ignorance from some FErs, you can't much expect there to be a well rounded knowledge base in the FES when it comes to religion. Especially since the FES isn't technically linked to any religion. Ignore the hate comments towards satanism, they seem a bit uniformed.

However, back on topic.

I think it is more important to the FES that they promote the discussion of the subject matter, rather than try and push a map on people. Based of the many theories and different views withing the FE community itself, I doubt you will find a solid answer to this thread that pleases you beyond a shadow of a doubt.

There is simply, as far as I've been able to tell, not one. At least not a reliable working model. I do think you expected as much before you started the topic though. There is still time for a FEr to surprise us both though.

The Sun and Moon MUST be flat. If they are spheres or semispheres, they will appear differently to observers at different locations on Earth. Looking from Norway at the Sun and from Australia, the "hump" of the sphere would hide ~1/2 to ~1/3 of the Sun's surface.

Now explaining how the surface of the Sun moves on a disk with 2 points "pinned" (N.Pole and S.Pole) is a different story.

good question! since the earth is flat, science as we know it is just science fiction.
there IS an intelligent design. I then started realising a lot of things and found god.
it's very long and personal, and nobody gives a fuck I suppose, so I keep it for myself.
there is, I know, I felt it, that's it.

if you are able to feel and to love, you could too. otherwise, you'll say it is NOT or you'll prefer its counterpart, which does NOT exist! the devil is all an illusion, the devil is bad mankind amoung good people.

Don't forget the rocket engine - that's three, Rainman.

And the fuel tank - that's four, Rainman.

And the fuel pump - that's five, Rainman.

On topic, I am especially curious about the flat earth map of Australia.

So what is new, when asked for evidence or a map that can not be produced, the topic always gets derailed. As this is the typical case because FE is a fantasy and has no reality (real world evidence), virtually every thread needs someone to derail it - usually with insults following. Standard debate tactic. That is all that FEers have. Be nice...

Any new-comers to this forum can just read through the threads for the past month or so and see what happens.

[/quoteFlat Earth - compass issue
Hi all,
Im Ivan from Croatia and I have few ideas about cartografy and FE maps. From first explorers to today compass was the most important and sometimes only aid to find fixed point anywhere on the earth. This is important because with compass you can find and follow straight and shortest way from A to B.
My point is:  GLOBE has a fixed N - (top) and fixed S - (down)
                       FLAT has fixed N - (center) and around S   ( like loudspeaker)
So if earth is flat and not globe than Maggelan made a full circle around the plane allways following straigh WEST with his right side of the boat looking to North.
But that means that trip on flat earth from point A to B with use of compass will never be a streight and shortest line but a CURVE that circle around central North. That means all distances betwen two points are wrong.( If you go straight West than you will not go in straight line but make a curve - little longer than straight line. The bigger the distance is bigger is error.)We can asume that all today distances are made using compass (and have same error) because we use compass in any travel.  Earth and continents should be measured somehow without compass or with use of complicated calculations depending on position and distance of measured point from the center (NORTH). Once again travelling with compass on flat earth you can never go straight - you allways make a curve. To go straight on FE with compass you have to constantly modify angle and distance from the center (North). To make real FE map all disstances must be re-calculated since they are made with compass and work only with compass based autopilots and gps. Compass is totally unpracctical on FE model since it never give you straight and shortest way but a curve.The best way would be to put a set of towers all over the world and with simple triangulation make a new map that we all deserve. I hope there is somebody out there with more knowlege and practical work to play with this idea. Thanks

Flat Earth - compass issue
Hi all,
Im Ivan from Croatia and I have few ideas about cartografy and FE maps. From first explorers to today compass was the most important and sometimes only aid to find fixed point anywhere on the earth. This is important because with compass you can find and follow straight and shortest way from A to B.
My point is:  GLOBE has a fixed N - (top) and fixed S - (down)
                       FLAT has fixed N - (center) and around S   ( like loudspeaker)
So if earth is flat and not globe than Maggelan made a full circle around the plane allways following straigh WEST with his right side of the boat looking to North.
But that means that trip on flat earth from point A to B with use of compass will never be a streight and shortest line but a CURVE that circle around central North. That means all distances betwen two points are wrong.( If you go straight West than you will not go in straight line but make a curve - little longer than straight line. The bigger the distance is bigger is error.)We can asume that all today distances are made using compass (and have same error) because we use compass in any travel.  Earth and continents should be measured somehow without compass or with use of complicated calculations depending on position and distance of measured point from the center (NORTH). Once again travelling with compass on flat earth you can never go straight - you allways make a curve. To go straight on FE with compass you have to constantly modify angle and distance from the center (North). To make real FE map all disstances must be re-calculated since they are made with compass and work only with compass based autopilots and gps. Compass is totally unpracctical on FE model since it never give you straight and shortest way but a curve.The best way would be to put a set of towers all over the world and with simple triangulation make a new map that we all deserve. I hope there is somebody out there with more knowlege and practical work to play with this idea. Thanks
Hi Ivan. I'm wondering why it's not possible to walk in a straight line? Are you saying flat earth maps are wrong?

I am a little surprised that after 38 replies nobody has yet managed to provide a simple working map?
Flat earth society. Do You Have A Map? Yes or No.

Post by: geoblue on May 19, 2016, 08:12:17 AM
No. Nobody has. So called FE map in circle ( UN logo) is only azimuth equidistant projection of globe earth. My point is that on FE model when you go with compass to WEST it won't be a straight line but a curve. So all distances measured WEST-EAST IS WRONG. Only NORTH-SOUTH is straight line.
Title: Re: Map
Post by: Jadyyn on May 19, 2016, 09:14:10 AM
Actually, they really can't explain why the N.Pole is in the middle. The azimuthal projection is typically used but it is from a globe and has HUGE distortions on the edges that are hidden by the oceans (N.Pole in middle). With the S.Pole in the middle, the distortions are manifest: (http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=65369.0 (http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=65369.0))

So no, after THOUSANDS of years (longer than RET/heliocentricity has been around), no map yet. Don't hold your breath as the Earth is not flat (FE is a fantasy).

My guess that the AEP/Gleason's Carbon Copy Map has been "the flat earth map" is that they can claim the distortiion of Antarctica is the "ice ring." "Flat Earthers" also call Antarctica "The Rim Continent."

But there seems to be some crticism - mostly from "round earthers" who are residents of that  country - about the size and shape of Australia.

And the general opinion seems to be that the FES is also "One Big Hoax" as well as "One Big Joke.""
But you do have to give fe's credit for vivid imaginaton and invention of weird ideas, LOL.

It would appear that there is no flat earth map with a scale.

About the maps
Example how Flat Earth map should look like is Potrolan and Catalan maps. Portolan charts are navigational maps based on compass directions and estimated distances observed by the pilots at sea. Portolans did not take into account the curvature of the earth.Catalan charts are a subtype of the medieval period (1300–1500) portolan chart.Portolan and Catalan maps are also characterized by the accuracy of inland features, sometimes for the lines of latitude/longitude and specially for the lack of map projection, for cartometric investigation has revealed that no projection was used in portolans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_chart#/media/File:Europe_Mediterranean_Catalan_Atlas.jpeg

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Atlas#/media/File:Compass_rose_from_Catalan_Atlas_(1375).jpg
Majorcan cosmographers and cartographers experimented and developed their own cartographic techniques.Majorcans were responsible for the invention (c. 1300) of the "normal portolan chart". The portolan was a realistic, detailed nautical chart, gridded by a rhumbline network with compass lines that could be used to deduce exact sailing directions between any two points.
As you all can see most of this is from wiki and they don't hide it. These maps are rude example of what the FE map should look like since they were last and best made before establishment of "The globe earth theory".

I did ask for a flat earth map with a scale, and thanks for providing one.
I have to say that if the only way to produce one is by measuring lines between points and the latest you can produce is medieval, then that is staggering evidence against Flat Earth. A map is not a series of distances between points.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Galileo affair
The Galileo affair was a sequence of events, beginning around 1610, culminating with the trial and condemnation of Galileo Galilei by the Roman Catholic Inquisition in 1633 for his support of heliocentrism.
In 1610, Galileo published his Sidereus Nuncius (Starry Messenger), describing the surprising observations that he had made with the new telescope, namely the phases of Venus and the Galilean moons of Jupiter. With these observations he promoted the heliocentric theory of Nicolaus Copernicus (published in De revolutionibus orbium coelestium in 1543). Galileo's initial discoveries were met with opposition within the Catholic Church, and in 1616 the Inquisition declared heliocentrism to be formally heretical. Heliocentric books were banned and Galileo was ordered to refrain from holding, teaching or defending heliocentric ideas.

But, Heliocentrism was certainly declared heretical and remained so until 1835.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Modern Catholic Church views
In 1758 the Catholic Church dropped the general prohibition of books advocating heliocentrism from the Index of Forbidden Books. It did not, however, explicitly rescind the decisions issued by the Inquisition in its judgement of 1633 against Galileo, or lift the prohibition of uncensored versions of Copernicus's De Revolutionibus or Galileo's Dialogue. The issue finally came to a head in 1820 when the Master of the Sacred Palace (the Church's chief censor), Filippo Anfossi, refused to license a book by a Catholic canon, Giuseppe Settele, because it openly treated heliocentrism as a physical fact. Settele appealed to pope Pius VII. After the matter had been reconsidered by the Congregation of the Index and the Holy Office, Anfossi's decision was overturned. Copernicus's De Revolutionibus and Galileo's Dialogue were then subsequently omitted from the next edition of the Index when it appeared in 1835.

But on the measurement of the earth, that has been done over the last few centuries, culminating with very precise laser interferometric and satellite methods.

What is interesting is that the modern maps do not differ significantly from those of up to 300 or more years ago, though obviously some places were either not mapped at all, or mapped inaccurately.

I don't see how you or anyone else could improve much on the current maps. They certainly seem quite accurate - can you see any problems?

You just dont get it. Today globe maps work perfectly with all compass based instruments. Look for explanation for "RHUMBLINE" to get example how compass would work on flat earth. That is the main thing. COMPASS and how to read it.
Rhumb lines are based on an angle with the meridian lines, which radiate from the geographic North Pole. Magnetic North is not dependent on geographic North, so rhumb lines have nothing to do with compasses.
Im tired. Do you have any idea how hard is it to make a map from start. How many people, how much money, not to mention how many working hours. At least few years and that is for professionals.
All those professionals, the many people with notable funding who poured their time into mapping the world, the people who took the initiative "to make a map from start", all agree the earth is round. All our marvelously accurate maps are dependent on that assumption. Only those that don't understand the maps or obvious clues about Earth's shape have a hard time accepting it.
GPS is also based on compass positions and distances (globe model) and so not suitable.
GPS is not based on magnetic North, but because the satellites orbit Earth, they're not suitable. Because GPS's very existence defies FEF.
I just don't get how you can't understand that maps that have different position of North and South can never be comparable. That also count for GPS, positions and courses.
They are comparable. If you measure in degrees longitude and latitude, and measure the map with these rather than just visual space, technically every map is accurate as long as they stay true to the true long/lat of the locations on it. The position of North and South really doesn't matter if you're reading the map right, it's just that some maps are easier to read than others. For example, polar azimuthal projections are more accurate at their respective poles, Mercator is more accurate at the equator, and a globe is more accurate everywhere.
If I can see an island 150 miles away no mirage or such crap can convince me that curvature is what they say it is.
That statement is perfectly reasonable, but it's conditional on being able to see an island 150 miles away, presumably from the surface. Seeing as that's not really true anywhere, why does it matter, and why question that curvature blocks your line of sight?

You've justified your belief in a flat Earth only with declaring your lack of understanding of its shape, passing the task off on the "professionals" who do know what they're doing and do believe the world is spherical. You've failed to provide an accurate FE map made by experts. You've failed to give those non-existent Flat-Earth-theorizing cartographers an excuse. You've failed to even show globes to be inaccurate maps, so you're on the fast track to nowhere here.

If you would have actually read my post, you would know that all I said is magnetic north has nothing to do with rhumb lines. Geoblue said rhumb lines explained how compasses work on a flat earth. They don't. That was my point on magnetic north and compasses in its entirety.

As for distances, Geoblue also made a false claim about map comparisons, based on ignorance of the fact that long/lat are always an accurate way of knowing where you are. That was my point. However the existent map is arranged, it will have to line up with actual distances.

Essentially, Geoblue didn't have a firm grasp on principles of navigation and so, yes, the things he was saying "were simply a distraction" from his not having an accurate map of a flat Earth. Then again, most pro-FE debate here really is just a distraction from the earth not being flat.

Oh, yes I do. I have a map. I have a real nice map. It's called a globe. And it works, everywhere.

So you're absolutely right; FEers can prove the earth is flat if they make a working map reliant on this fact. If making an accurate map of a flat earth is impossible, there is no flat earth. Until they've done this, they're wasting their time.

god creation is everywhere, I gave a look at things from another point of view and understood everything.

you're exposed in my eyes. but you'll lose.
may GOD save your soul anyway.
I'm a son of god, we all are, but I know because I've faith, in the right one.


we are energy, and you sun-SIN-worshippers evil lesser human beings are a joke.

How can you be sure you didn't have some kind of mental break from reality when you thought you found god? How can you show someone else you didn't have a mental break from reality when you thought you found god?

Magnetic north, compass points and distances are simply a distraction if you have no map.
You have no map.

Make a Map or stop wasting your time.
i agree,
But don't blame the Globe supporters for no Flat Earth map! We've been saying it's impossible all along.
Yes, I know the saying "Difficult jobs done immediately, impossibilities take a little longer", but some things really are not possible.

79 replies and Zero Maps.
Lots of talking about compass points and viewing distances. One person saying he has no time to make a map.

If you are a Flat Earth believer and you ever have occasion to travel outside your town, (say when  you are on holiday with your Mum and Dad), what map do you use and does it work?

OK, please show us an accurate flat map of the whole Flat earth! No-one has seen one yet.
And no, a projection of the Globe is not good enough, as we know that many of the distances and shapes of a projection of the whole Globe are severly distorted.

Magnetic north, compass points and distances are simply a distraction if you have no map.

If you would have actually read my post, you would know that all I said is magnetic north has nothing to do with rhumb lines. Geoblue said rhumb lines explained how compasses work on a flat earth. They don't. That was my point on magnetic north and compasses in its entirety.

As for distances, Geoblue also made a false claim about map comparisons, based on ignorance of the fact that long/lat are always an accurate way of knowing where you are. That was my point. However the existent map is arranged, it will have to line up with actual distances.

Essentially, Geoblue didn't have a firm grasp on principles of navigation and so, yes, the things he was saying "were simply a distraction" from his not having an accurate map of a flat Earth. Then again, most pro-FE debate here really is just a distraction from the earth not being flat.

Oh, yes I do. I have a map. I have a real nice map. It's called a globe. And it works, everywhere.

So you're absolutely right; FEers can prove the earth is flat if they make a working map reliant on this fact. If making an accurate map of a flat earth is impossible, there is no flat earth. Until they've done this, they're wasting their time.

The globe earth map is everywhere. Im in the Flat Earth society for a reason. I want a Flat Earth Map. Globe maps , im not interested in. Im interested in the society producing a working Flat Earth map. A local one will do. Just measure your street or better a journey with mum to visit auntie .Apply it to a globetards map and see if its accurate.

As far as I am concerned there is no flat earth map, simply because the earth is not flat, it's that simple.
If you can find anything seriously wrong with those measurements, please let me know!

If the earth really were flat, making a map of the Flat Earth would be trivial, but as I have tried to point numerous times:
Measurements of the Earth Prove it cannot be Flat « on: May 04, 2016, 07:23:35 PM » (https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=66646.msg1777790#msg1777790).

Don't blame globe supporters for this. These measurements (used to make the maps we have) have been made over centuries. Satellite mapping has not changed the shape of the earth, only improved the accuracy of the maps we have.

In my first post on this thread I tried to give you the maps suggested for the Flat Earth but you did not like them, so stop bitching and just accept the facts - there are no undistorted Flat Maps of the whole earth.
You could also go and study up of JRowe's "Dual Earth" hypopthesis in Dual Earth Theory (http://dualearththeory.proboards.com/thread/3/dual-earth-theory-overview).  That should keep you out of mischief for a while!
Mind you it is still quite distorted, just not as obviously as the North Pole centred and 0° N, 0° E centred projections of the globe we have been presented with.

And the bottom line is that if the distances between the points on earth fit on a Globe, they simply CANNOT fit on a Flat Surface.

What is a mental break????   


How can you be sure you didn't have some kind of mental break from reality when you thought you found god?
Easy.
The true form of the earth + documentation of the same in ancient text = divine revelation. 



How can you show someone else you didn't have a mental break from reality when you thought you found god?
Step 1:  Show someone ancient holy texts which describe the true form of the earth. 
Step 2:  Show someone the true form of the earth. 
Step 3:  Tell someone that knowledge of the true form of the earth could only be derived 2 ways:  modern technology or Somebody's eyeball looking down from on high and telling ancient lowly men.  There is no 3rd choice. 
Step 4:  Remind someone that the ancient holy texts were written long before modern technology. 
Step 5:  Laugh at any suggested 3rd choice.

You claim that in "Step 3:  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . There is no 3rd choice."
You are quite wrong. There is a 3rd choice!
As I have claimed numerous times. The dimensions of the earth have been measured with progressively better accuracy for the past 500 years or more.

The shapes of the countries and continents, and their relative locations are well known and even an atlas contains accurate enough information.
These measurements do not fit on a flat surface.
This has been know for centuries and is the reason that there is no accurate flat earth map.

My cut on this is:

Initially, thousands of years ago when people were seafarers, people (1) used compasses and (2) the areas were relatively local (the Mediterranean Sea). For such a "small" area, for all intents and purposes, it was flat. Any distortions could be attributed to misreading the compass and ships bobbing up and down. Although people knew about latitudes (via sextants) pretty well, there weren't very accurate clocks to measure longitude. This is why we had several/lots of flat maps with presumably better shapes to land masses as time went on (and people trying to join maps together). FE at its best.

As the science and art of cartography developed, distances became more accurate. Surveying methods across areas like India and Australia, that were now more accurate, did not match up on a piece of paper. These did match up to a large spherical surface. Geodetic surveying was born. FE went by the wayside as this, among other things, demonstrated a RE. Also, once the Americas were discovered, distances increased vastly and flat measurements did not match.

With airplanes and shipping going across oceans, measurements needed to be more accurate. Now-a-days, we know the distances and angles quite accurately (especially as measured by satellites). There is just no doubt (to the airlines and shipping industries) the Earth is definitely not flat (except locally where the distortions don't matter).

That is why you won't find any MODERN FE maps except for local areas where the distortions are negligible. If this is not correct, please present the most accurate FE map anyone has.

I would have thought that Flat Earthers could answer that best. I have long held the opinion that if there is no accurate map of the flat earth, then the earth cannot be flat.

Since we know essentially all the measurements of the earth, if it were flat, a map would just be a matter of a scale drawing of the earth. But the so called flat earth maps we are presented with do not fit the measurements.

Evidence -> human zygote.

Every human being came from ONE cell. Ponder that for a while and what information DNA has to contain:

(1) to maintain cell systems (proteins, enzymes - do the statistical math) creating BOTH a ribosome as DNA (as nucleic acids) and as a physical entity (from amino acids). You need a 1st ribosome to create more. No ribosome, DNA useless. Which came 1st, chicken or egg since BOTH need to exist in basically the same space (<width of a cell) at the same time?

(2) to create THE critical interdependent MAJOR systems (brain, neural, reproductive, digestive, repair, ocular, auditory, respiratory, structural, muscular, circulatory, immune, etc.) most of which if not done correctly will cause the death of the human.

(3) to "work" - the systems must not only "look" good theoretically sitting there (corpse) but must actually function interdependently.

(4) to be created/grow over a period of 9 months (actually ~18 years) in a coordinated manner - everything in the right place at the right time and the right size.

(5) to be able to reproduce - a biggy. No reproduction, no humanity.

(6) to be able to function in a hostile environment (we are 90%+ water but live in air - we should be like fish living in water) not to mention the environment and predators.

(7) to gather (skillfully move) and eat/process animal/non-animal stuff (plants) and breath oxygen (live in the right place in the universe surrounded by an inhospitable space).

To put this in perspective, with humanity's greatest minds - directed, not random - try to grow a "space shuttle"/whatever from one Autocad drawing blueprint (DNA), that will maintain each part and create something to fabricate all the parts it needs that has to somehow exist at the same time as the blueprint (both RANDOMLY created very near each other), create critical functioning interdependent systems, the systems must actually function (and self-repair), starting from ONE part containing the blueprint (for grins, try to build it from "one cell" - not prefabricated parts), be able to reproduce (nothing other than computer software - information - created by humans reproduces - computer viruses), while in a hostile environment, and must gather its own materials to function, procreate and repair. Good luck with that.

That DNA is pretty smart for being randomly thrown together. BTW it repairs itself.

Also, if you believe the human zygote evolved, please demonstrate new systems being created in biological entities (positive mutations). They get unused, destroyed or incorrectly copied (like fish losing sight in caves, negative mutations). For example, what would it take to put wings on a spider?

That about sums it up.
