Flat Earth Debate / Re: earth from outer space

and the second and last post goes mostly for TheodorusOfSamos and  then RandomREalist + ausGeoff(again for you )

if i could have been more clear and less hijacked in the line i was aiming for it would have been for the best,but any way...to answer to you TheodorusOfSamos i had to re-register and here it goes

https://www.google.ro/search?q=the+blue+marble&rlz=1C1SKPL_enRO439&oq=the+blue+marble&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.5321j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8   maibe here you will get the answer what i mean by "the blue marble".though it is a nice name indeed for this vision of a globular Earth it is not at all a name i come up with, but a name given by NASA(still confused ausGeoff?).
when i write a "true globe" i am referring at,i hooope??,what all the people of today may envision when they think of a round Earth into space...something like this http://footage.shutterstock.com/clip-2909089-stock-footage-beautiful-earth-rotation-degrees-with-the-sun-looped-animation-hd.html?src=rel/1381240:4/gg  .a really nice not faked picture,and of today's technology,like a (here down on Earth) HD image,not a 3D representation or anything like a complicated "photographic proof of a "globe"" .so it is nothing complicated,nothing like "an attempt to belittle the massive import of such images"(not so massive though).i truly enjoy and appreciate the images and the time of others that had posted here but i was grown not to be a naive person,but to question to the truth,not less and not beyond.
because of this it is hard for me to conceive that until now 2014 we have so much less if not at all,videos and photos with an unquestionable proof of the shape,whatever it may be,of our beloved world : Earth
i hope you TheodorusOfSamos get it even if i am as usual possibly unclear ...enjoy your stay on the forum,it can be fun and in a way envisionary,but trust me...you will get to no conclusion whatsoever your questions might be

Flat Earth Debate / Re: earth from outer space

You've used the term "blue marble" to describe these and other similar pictures, and while I think that's a nice way to describe the earth as seen in these pictures, it seems that something resembling a "blue marble" does not count as a "true globe" for you.

Flat earthers, such as djuptsjomaour repeatedly use the term "blue marble" when describing a genuine photographic image of the earth in an attempt to belittle the massive import of such images, and the science they unequivocally support.  By ascribing to it a simple, almost child-like name, they're simply playing with words, rather than debating the science behind them.

They intend that as soon as we read the word "marble", our mind automatically conjures up a vision of a common kid's plaything in a dusty schoolyard somewhere.  In other words, that's "all" the images of the earth are equated with (or all that the flat earthers hope they're equated with).

Flat earthers invariably resort to these sorts of simplistic attacks when confronted with real-life, authenticated photographic images provided by scientifically accredited bodies such as NASA.   That's all they can do, as has been shown numerous times on these forums, the flat earthers can produce not one single image of their own to either discredit the round earth images, or to prove their own flat earth model.

I've also asked numerous times here for even a single flat earth image to be posted, but thus far, this is yet to happen.

So again I challenge any flat earther to post a photographic image depicting all—or any part—of an alleged flat earth.  But I'm also betting this won't be happening.  Again.

just two more posts  and the fisrt is especially for you ausGeoff,here it comes:

if in your life and the so called discussions you are having here are joined by the same attention you have paid until now you must be mistrust or to be known that you intentionally are misleading,though i hope one day you will get it right for all our sake,yours included.
i have already wrote to you and some few others quite a few times that i am not a "flat earther", i am on the fence and not just for the sake of argument but for the reason as rottingroom put it i am the kind that i need to prove it my self,though by logging in here i really hoped for some help....i was so wrong apparently...eh
