Earth's Shape and Mass

If it's growing and shifting every day, that's just your way of worming out of making a map, isn't it?

If it WAS growing and shifting everyday, why do RE maps still explain where everything is?

Lol. I was talking about the round earth. Are you high?

IDK what you think, but RE doesn't change shape. It's usually round, from what I understand.

Tectonic plates shift, but that doesn't change the shape.

I am confused, because you are telling me that you have no clue what the size or shape of the earth is.
This is a little unsettling, because I've never heard of such a belief, and so obviously, I am perplexed.

are you saying the earth has no shape or size, or that you are not sure.

I'm saying that I am not sure. I don't see sufficient evidence for any one shape to compel me to believe in it, and so I remain agnostic about the shape of the Earth.

you are undecided

I think YOU are high considering that you think the earth is constantly changing its shape and size

You could put it that way, yes.

Meteoric debris rains down on the earth at several billion tons a day. The shape of the earth is slightly spherical but changing constantly with the pull of the moon and many other things.

I understand that you obtained your complete knowledge of "shapes" by the third grade, but something that is constantly changing does not have a fixed shape.

I'm saying that I am not sure. I don't see sufficient evidence for any one shape to compel me to believe in it, and so I remain agnostic about the shape of the Earth.

It's not a thrilling debate if you just list all the things you don't know Steve.

The question was asked:

and @Parsifal, what do you believe the shape of the earth to be?

And I answered it.

I know. But your answer was dull. It's a debate forum. Give us something to debate Steve. Give me an angle. Show me your stance. Don't come out with hair salon opinions. If I wanted those I'd go to a ...

Don't ask a close ended question and expect an open ended answer.

No closed answers are OK. So long as they're interesting.

So you value an interesting answer over a truthful one? Shows where your priorities lie, I guess.
