TheEngineer Is A Liar

Oooh, the earth is only 3 miles in radius? :shock:

Ermmmmmmm, its a dancing penguin.

You caught your ignorance early this time, eh?

Show me a picture of flat earth. I showed you my penguin. It danced for you.

I just want to see an authentic picture of a flat Earth. :shock:

Will they let a digital camera on a plane these days?

Yep - I always take mine on with me -I don't trust those baggage handlers.

I showed you my penguin. It danced for you. :wink:

And I will now be calling the cops, pervert.

Even if you take a picture from a plane, what does it prove?  You are taking a picture through a rounded window that's bulging out, and using a rounded lens on your camera.  Besides, even if you got a picture of a perfectly flat earth, you could always mess with it in Photoshop and apply a fisheye effect to it just to prove that the earth is round.

Besides, I can tell you that the earth is flat.  If you lived where I live... man, I'm talking FLAT.  You can watch your dog run away... for days!

You have had really bad luck with pilots, always in the clouds?  Damn, they must be aiming for them.

In the sky there are clouds. Go up high enough and there are clouds all around. Only from a very high place should you be able to accurately view the Earth below and search the horizon for a curve.

From any lower and you will be looking at 'Hills' or 'Mountains' - not the curve

Don't you ever get clear skies at your place? Come to Australia, mate! We have many days without a cloud in the sky Then your vision would not be impaired at any height  :roll:

The cops would just laugh at you, then reccomend a good psychiatrist.
Everybody laughs at the Flat Earthers.

I don't laugh at the flat earthers.

If you met one in person. I think you would.
It takes a huge nerd with loads of spare time would argue that the earth is flat. Any normal person would accept the truth and have better things to do.

I am a normal person, and the earth IS flat.

I am a flat person and the earth is normal.

I am a flat person and the earth is normal.

 :lol:

Ok then, if the Earth is flat then it shouldn't be hard to get a photo of it, right?  If I go on google image search and type in 'Round Earth' or just 'Earth' I get plenty of pics of a ROUND earth. If I type in 'Flat Earth' and it comes up with some funny little cartoons of earth on a turtles back and other junk like that. I do the same with other well known search engines and get the same result.

Fair enough if this was my only point you could answer with the 'Conspiracy' line. But theres more..

So after my search comes up with no results for a 'Flat Earth' I post a request on the 'The Flat Earth Society' forum for a picture of it. Result - Nothing. I check around other posts/threads/topics  and find that loads of people have asked for a picture of the 'Flat Earth' and no luck.

Google has already bowed to pressure from the Chinese government to censor certain websites, you think it's impossible to censor certain photos?

I know its not impossible. But If I was trying to prove something as radical as the earth being flat I would get a picture/video of it MYSELF. No-one could censor that. Like i said:

"if the Earth is flat then it shouldn't be hard to get a photo of it, right?"

That's actually a good argument! Someone copy it to the FAQ!!!!!!

Yes, in today's blogosphere-culture: something that important would be mirrored on thousands of websites within hours and be impossible to contain.

Actually I'm quite certain that, in today's RE culture, something as ridiculous as that would be dismissed as fake and forgotten.

After about 5 minutes of the initial report of Steve Irwin's death, around 5 or so independent news sites picked it up.  Keep doubling that number each 2 minutes and you have the idea of how fast this stuff goes.

But I think Unimportant's right about this one.

True. The 'Flat Earthers' have been dismissing photos as evidence of the Earth being round since they were founded. It would be no different if an image of a 'Flat Earth' was posted.

Yes, but most people use google or yahoo to get to those sites.

oops double post :oops:

I can say that I, at least, do have some news sites that I'm aware of the address for, and subsequently don't need to use google to find. Mostly the Australian major press(es) and also the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC, our version of BBC)

Taken from a plane. Google is your friend Engineer.

You find a picture on Google and just assume it is from a plane?  Do you think much for yourself?

So what if its from a plane.It is far in the air and it took a picture of a ROUND earth.

Good to be back everyone,by the way.

ya no cruve but there is a curve

 :lol:

Im going to China in Oct by way of the earth, not by plane, so I will let you know how i go  8-)

What exactly do you mean? You cant drive to China. Are you taking some type of ferry? That would take a long,long time.
