Round Earth=YES Flat Earth=NO
« on: April 12, 2007, 09:07:59 PM »
Well if the earth was flat, how do you explain the fact that if you look one direction, you can only see 20 miles or so? And also...If the earth was flat, where is the edge of the earth? And one more thing. How do you explain the satellite images of the earth being round! If you don't respond, you guys are all pathetic. And don't close this either. I want a provable explanation for all your responses. :-\

I haven't made a habit of answering these clone type newb question posts recently, but I guess I'll make an exception since you were so angry about it.

The atmosphere is not perfectly transparent. Even if you're a Round Earther you pretty much have to acknowledge this easily observable fact.

I wish people would read the damn site a bit before posting. Images and this one like it are widely posted on the board.

Look, if you're genuinely interested in our theories, why don't you READ OUR DAMN WEBSITE before demanding answers in such a retarded, angsty tone.

Regardless of what you and I might believe InsaneDevan - people do believe in FE and have all ready answered those questions - whether or not you would agree with their answers.

I would have disagree a little with your map though Dogplatter. In fact as an Australian I'm a little insulted when viewing that map. If FE were real, that little island on the top of Australia should be on the bottom, closer to Antarctica. It's called Tasmania. And unfortunately, though this map would have you believe so, I can't sail directly right from North Queensland and hit New Zealand.

Don't argue that one...you're better than that

Again, you would be able to see an adequate response to this if you had actually taken just a moment to read some of this site.

I refuse to hand you pages of conjecture, verbatim, on a platter, when it has already been exhaustively discussed. I personally have probably contributed thousands of words on the nature of the "space program" alone. There's a search button at the top of the site, use it.

I'll readily admit what I posted wasn't supposed to be geographically accurate - it's just to give a rough idea of the geography of the whole Earth (the OP clearly doesn't have the slightest idea about the FE model of the Earth, I was trying to help him grasp it). The map I posted is from the 1800s but there's a pretty awesome rendered map of the Flat Earth floating around, and I'm sure that has Australia a little better represented.

That's more like it. Pretty soon you'll be able to try and criticize us while actually understanding what we believe  :)

Ok so that map is incorrect. -.- And...if you were in a boat, and went from the USA to some other counrty, across the world, then if you kept going the same direction, how do you end up at USA again?

No, I don't have a link. Use the search function with terms like "map", "rendered", "photo" and stuff, it should pop up fairly quickly.

Ok...any flat earth map is wildly skewed, I found one here:

http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=12386.0

I believe this is the one you are taling about.

Puts Australia precariously close to the ice wall...i sure hope it doesnt melt

Yeah that's the one I was talking about. Actually, comparing the two, I'm pretty sure the big island you complained about in the first one just supposed to be a blob of indonesia instead of tasmania.

Circumnavigation is perfectly possible on the FE.  Something else you would have gotten out of the FAQ.

I never said it wasn't. Something you would have got out my post if you read it, you fucking moron. I've read the FAQ.

What i was saying was you go from the tip of SA, go around Antarctica and finish at the tip of Australia. On an FE map this would take much longer, being they seem to be on nearly opposite sides of the planet.

Well LOOK at the map. The North Pole is the center of the Earth. If you travel west for a long time, you will eventually travel in a flat circle.

Kinda off topic, but you can only see 2-3 miles. If you wanted you could easily find it out if you knew the radius.
