Seriously.

So please, rtfm... er, read the FAQ.  I like reading all the interesting debates. 

I have arguments for the earth being round (and my pancakes being tasty) and you got arguments for earth being flat.

So argument vs. Argument = Earth being formed as a square?

Seriously, that's some convincing evidence there!  However, I don't like pancakes. 





...Want some waffles instead?

BTW, Diego Draw:  I normally veer from discussions which DIRECTLY touch on gravity/gravitation.  I'm not going to start taking upper division physics or throwing a bunch of time into studying all this.  It's just something I'm discussing in my free time.  Not something I want to take "to the next level." 

I can tell that gravity would pull the earth into a ball, and gravitation is what would hold the planets in orbit.  Beyond that, I don't really need to know too much if I won't be debating gravity/gravitation itself

One question to the "FE sociaty"...

You keep saying that you have "proof" that your belifes are correct. I have seen none.
Christians say they have proof (bible)
Muslims say they have proof
Scientists say they have proof (real pictures)
You say you have proof (where?)

This is just another stupid sect, without proof, without brains

Aw, come on, they have their sacred texts, "Earth not a globe"!!!   See, just like every other religion.

I disagree. The adamant followers of the flat Earth theory simply have not seen any evidence for the round Earth that they find completely coherent, thusly, they are adamant. Why do you feel the necessity to psychoanalyze the general body of flat Earthers?

~D-Draw

I have a better idea.  Since there are more of your kind, why don't you get your RE buddies to pitch in some money and send me to space? 

1) One person's "conversion" to a RE frame of mind will not suffice.  Every one of "your kind" (FE Conspirator-believers) will think you had been "co-opted."  Even if 90% of you were sent into space, the remaining 10% could claim massive conspiratorial cover-up.  Thus, we would have to send every single member into outer space.

2) Let's say that it costs $1,000,000 USD to send one person into space.  And let's say there are 1000 people in your society around the globe to convince.  That comes to $1,000,000,000.  One billion dollars.  No one on earth cares enough about all of your ideas to spend that sort of money.  You guys are pretty harmless.

3) And let's say that a small portion of you believed, even with proof, that there was STILL a conspiracy. That what they saw from the space shuttle was an elaborate hoax to change their minds.  Well, then Mr. Billionaire just wasted some good money on all of you.

THIS is why no one in their right mind will ever send you to space.

I highly doubt it was a serious suggestion...


~D-Draw

Whether or not he was being satirical, I have many good points as to why this FE theory will not die, by any means.  No evidence we could present, as real and convincing as it might be, will ever pursued the truly adamant followers of FE theory.

You DO realize that this is the "debate and discussion" section, right?  Meaning that the purpose of this board is to... um... Iono, debate and discuss things?

Just because I don't automatically accept what FE'ers propose as "evidence" doesn't make me stupid and it doesn't make me ignorant.  It means that I do not agree with you.

Flat Earth Debate / Re: See for yourself! the truth is right before your eyes!

Perhaps not by itself.  However, if pondering the evidence brings you to the conclusion of a modernly-accepted universe (planets around the sun, which is one of many stars; moons around the planets), then it ultimately follows that there are only two real ways for the orbits:

1) God Himself controls the orbits of the planets, or

2) There IS a "force of attraction" at work, keeping all the planets in orbit.


Since 1 is unscientific and many modern Christians believe that God set things in order to work according to the laws of physics, 2 is generally accepted.

If 2 is true, then this "force of attraction" would pull the earth into a ball.


(NOTE: "Force of attraction" is used because I REALLY don't want this to turn into yet another debate on the semantics of defining gravity.)

Flat Earth Debate / Re: See for yourself! the truth is right before your eyes!

« on: November 06, 2007, 12:08:22 PM »

I'm not saying it does.  Unlike REers who try vainly to prove that the earth must be round because the other planets are round, I am simply saying that this kind of variation exists in nature, thus is evidence of the possibility of the earth being flat despite the planets being round, and used it as an analogy, not a proof.

Just about anything is possible if your mind is open enough.  Maybe we aren't really here.  Maybe we live in the Matrix!  Maybe there IS no earth, flat or otherwise! 

It is not ONE piece of evidence which leads us to conclude that the earth is round.  It is a preponderance of ALL the evidence.  I don't think the earlier RE'ers were saying, "All the other planets are round, thus the earth must be!"  I believe it was more, "Well, doesn't it seem odd that the earth would be the only FLAT planet?  With all the other evidence, that does it for me!"

Here's MY point:

Macroevolution VS. Microevolution.


While MICROevolution is a scientific fact (ie, changes within a species), it does not prove MACROevolution (changes from one species to another).

While pumpkins can be flat or round, that does not prove that planets can be either flat or round.

so now you claim Rowbotham was a PROPHET speaking DIRECTLY FROM GOD?

i say it appears round because it IS round.

there MUST be another explanation? that sounds like..."grasping at straws"i think is the phrase.
come up with an answer that doesn't require "aether" or some such thing, and i might pay attention.

one more time:
the sun is round
the moon is round
mercury is round
venus is round
mars is round
jupiter is round
saturn is round
uranus is round
neptune is round
pluto is round

but earth MUST BE FLAT?!?!

Haven't you even been walking through a pumpkin patch, passing beautiful round pumpkin after beautiful round pumpkin, only to eventually come up on one that's twisted, flattened, and deformed?  lol no, it must be an optical illusion, all the other pumpkins are round, this one must be also, despite appearances! 

Wow, that doesn't even fit.  You are comparing apples and oranges... Or apples and pumpkins.  At any rate, AGRICULTURE is much different from the nature of the earth.  You can't use one as evidence of the other!  It doesn't process logically.
