Flat Earth Q&A / The equator

« on: May 07, 2006, 07:24:01 AM »

the sun is a spotlight sort of thing aimed at the equator, so the edges of the spotlight's reach, the center and edge, get less light and thus are cooler.  Not sure precisely how the sun is supposed to work though. but for season's it probably gets closer to or further away from Earth and/or is more/less intense over the northern/southern hemispheres.

Perhaps circling over the equator but wobbling a bit so in summer (summer in the US) it wobbles closer to Earth's center, then in winter wobbles further out and thus the southern hemisphere gets more radiation, making it summer there.

or perhaps the earth is round.

Wouldn't this statement also apply to those censored or banned for posts that disagree with the flat earth concept?

Not one single person has ever been banned (or censored) on this forum for disagreeing with the flat earth theory.

my al-quaeda conspiracy thread was deleted twice.

Flat Earth Q&A / Need straight answer

« on: May 07, 2006, 07:08:40 AM »

Show us a video of someone travelling around the world without encountering the ice wall and you'll have proved your point.

Why bother..?

So far when it comes to photos or any visual evidence it is always played down as a "hoax".....a fraud/cover up or whatever so why would this be any different?

anyways...

You could always go on one of the expeditions organised through this site

http://www.poletopoleleadership.com/site/PageServer

or here

http://www.polar-quest.com/?SID=1&PID=2&TID=81

so finally the argument is over, there IS documented proof of a south pole existing. unless there is another hairbrained explanation.

Flat Earth Q&A / Where did the Ice Wall come from?

« on: May 06, 2006, 11:43:18 AM »

god put his finger up and spinned the earth like a performer spinning a plate on a stick. against the cold of space the outer rim of earth froze, thus creating an ice wall. duh.

i know i have a heart, lungs and spine in my body.  I have never cut myself open and looked for myself, but people trained in such things have looked inside humans and found these organs.  time after time these organs are found inside humans.  i probably have them too.

i have never been to space, but HUNDREDS of people have. they took pictures, captured video, brought stuff back from space, and left stuff there.  if i were to go to space, I'd see a round earth, just like them.

What a splendid refutation of FE! Such thoroughness and understanding of the world; why did no one else think of this outstanding disproof before?

i don't need to prove you wrong because any argument against fact is stupid.  i am not saying you are stupid, just your ideas and concept of science.

In the FE model, the sun is closer and smaller than in the RE one, and produces a spotlight-like effect (so one can't see the sun from the other side of Earth). It misses the ice wall similar to the way it does on an RE due to this.

Flat Earth Q&A / Why the moon proves the earth is round

« on: May 06, 2006, 08:59:44 AM »

FE's don't answer questions until they can think up a retarded explanation....if they can't they ignore the argument or point at the FAQ.

Flat Earth Q&A / A few questions

« on: May 06, 2006, 08:55:13 AM »

1) If satellites don't exist, then why are portions of google earth visibly low-res (arial photography) while others are hi-res (satellite images).

2) how old is the flat earth?

3) if the moon is a spotlight, why can i see a "man" in the moon (shadows cast by the sun on the hills and mountains on it) last i checked a light can't contain shadows.

4) if dark energy pushed the earth "up", what is pushing all the stars and planets "up"

5) how tight are your tinfoil hats?

Flat Earth Q&A / Map please :)

« on: May 01, 2006, 06:01:39 AM »

for a map to exist for our flat earth there would have to be a) a version of the map that all FE could agree on. b) a flat earth.  

this society has neither.

Flat Earth Q&A / the bible

« on: May 01, 2006, 05:59:52 AM »

actually, the bible has been proven correct on many discriptions of ancient geography. Google it.

so google is good for some arguments, but google earth is still part of the "conspiracy"?

Flat Earth Q&A / Proof for a flat earth is all around us

« on: April 30, 2006, 09:09:11 PM »

what is the closest land mass to the ice wall, and what is that distance?  what coast do i set sail from and how far "rimward" would one have to go.

Travel southward from the tip of South America, Africa, or from the bottom edge of Australia. You'll reach a vast wasteland of ice, which you can walk across for a long, long time and never find anything or anyone. The ice wall is very vast. Good luck finding the edge. (Note: Before someone else mentions my contradiction of the usual FE statements, I do not believe the standard ice wall conspiracy theory.)


--Chal

how can you have varying beliefs of geography.

and here's another question.  if a plane takes off  from point "A" to point "b" and the runways to and from these points are the most conveneient position possible (for the sake of physics)  the total distance travelled would vary if you compared the FE to RE.  the amount that it would vary would depend on altitude and distance.  from boston to new jersey the diference would be tiny, but the distance from boston to Los Angeles would be noticably greater, especially at a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet.  guess which calculations are used to determine fuel consumption and ETA.   :idea:

my question is why would i want to fly around like the hand on the clock when i don't have to?  i want to save fuel and time so i will go the shortest distance necessary. LOGIC.

Don't you have better things to do than spam?
And if you don't consider this spam, read the FAQ.

well i came across this site today, and if anyone else was here i wouldn't have to respond to past arguments, i could be having "discussion".  sorry i'm the only one here.

Flat Earth Q&A / Proof for a flat earth is all around us

« on: April 30, 2006, 06:11:20 PM »

Orbital Spaceflight, the south pole, circumnavigations by ships and airplanes are three things that prove a spherical earth.  A spherical earth also allows for sattelites of all kinds, which provide for communications, and imagry of the earth. A spherical Earth is the only possible explaination for accurate GPS systems to work.  As that is more than the just one example of something that a spherical earth can explain that the originator of the thread required, he should abandon his horribly ignorant view point and accept science for what it is-- science

You're really not helping the round Earth view with this, especially the "only possible explanation" bit.  Have you even tried coming up with alternate explanations?

when facts are present, alternate explanations are not.

i can't see something that doesn't exist.  Planes exist, pilots exist, and when they need to fly from Tokyo to California they go across the pacific ocean because it is the shortest distance.   they don't fly over asia to the atlantic, then across the USA because THEY DON'T HAVE TO.

To be quite honest, I haven't seen many people here defending the Flat Earth theory by quoting religious scripture.

It would make more sense if you did.
