Kansas

It's officially flat.

82,277 sq mi down, 96,852,723 sq mi to go.

Truly a milestone.

The fact that this got out may be evidence that the Conspiracy is weakening, if only a little bit.  Heartening news.

Hmm...  That seems vaguely familiar.

Well, nobody paid any attention to your thread.  Maybe they'll pay attention to mine.  I honestly never saw your thread but I think it's worth repeating at any rate.  Word must get out.

Kansas does not exist, silly.

When Roundy posts, anybody who's anybody in the Zetetic community takes note.

Please limit your spamming to the appropriate subforums.  This is your warning.

They're talking about the terrain, the Earth's curvature is not included. For example, if you have a perfect sphere, a very small area could be called flat, but if you throw in some little bumps (which would be mountains and hills) then that wouldn't be flat.

This is just some common sense none of you FEers have been exposed to.

The earth is relatively flat. What's your point?

Relative to us it is flat, simply because our sight is limited and it is a large sphere shaped object.  Relative to the moon its round.  Glad you've realized that.

How very convenient for RET.

It's just the way it is, would you like the sphere to be smaller so you can see the curve from ground level, just so you know it's there?
I really don't think the Earth wants to change its size just for you to be able to see its curvature.

Then it shouldn't expect us to take the alleged curvature on blind faith.

The rest of us don't have to, because we are at a time where humans can send satellites and rockets into space and take pictures. Not even close to "blind faith".
Maybe you were meant to be born thousands of years ago, must be why you can't accept humanity's achievements to this day.

That's actually faith in what others around you tell you.

Actually no, I could launch a balloon with a camera attached to the edge of space if I wanted to, and prove to myself that the Earth is a sphere. Do you think anyone is going to stop me?
