RE map provide a degree of accuracy which is enough.

You conveniently forget that for over 300 years RE maps depicted California as an island off the coast of the United States.

Oh Tom, if you made an effort to understand!

Recent RE maps are good enough, whereas FE map consist of 2 maps a couple of inches in diameter and utterly wrong.

To my knowledge there have been no maps solely produced by the Flat Earth or Zetetic societies, using zetetic methods, independent of any existing cartography.

Each map produced by this esteemed society has been tainted by the conspiracy of terrestrial globalism.  Its a scandal.

How do you know it is good enough?

When Europe was colonizing the Americas everyone took California's existence as an island for granted because they saw it drawn that way on a map. People lived and died on California believing that they were living on an island.

'To my knowledge', indeed. If you had read Flat Earth: The History of an Infamous Idea by historian Christine Garwood you would know that Samuel Birley Rowbotham and company studied the matter deeply, collecting data from all manner of nautical and surveying sources of the day. Ship logs were consulted, navigators were interviewed, and surveyors consulted, all to create an accurate map of 1/8th of the earth's surface - a slice of pie containing Europe and Africa. It was proven by these sources that Africa is wider than it is long, thus contradicting the globular assumption. A great bulk of data went into this map.

There is even a poster sized foldout of the 1/8th map in the hardcover edition.

I refuse to believe Rowbotham himself accepted as certainty the fanciful accounts of others who may have had vested interests, rather then gather his own data and observe for himself.

You are also mistaken in that you speak for all Zeteticists, some have set the bar far higher.

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with Lord Wilmore's well written work Discourse on the Zetetic Method

I am familiar with the the map slice - the diagram in Garwood's text attributes it to Hampden.  Could you direct me to the source of your elaborations?

As those Zetetics have failed to read Chapter 1 which explains what Zeteticm is, they can't really call themselves Zetetics, can they?

From what I recall in the text it was presented as a collaboration between multiple people, not one. The book is available as a preview in Google Books. The caption under the image does not identify Hampden as the author.

Fortunately, we have modern maps and modern ways of measuring things and we don't have to rely on XIXth century and before bullshit.
And nobody sensible can now say that Africa is wider than longer because it is definitively disprouved.

Your account of the map doesn't appear to come from Garwood.  You have catalogued a vast array of pertinant literature -I'll continue to look to verify the details concerning the source of the map slice.

Has the zetetic or flat earth societies produced a more complete map of the earth - or does that part of my assertion stand?

What are you talking about? There is only me on this forum, who has read Earth Not a Globe cover to cover, and then there is everyone else who has not. Lord Wilmore has not. If he had, he would see that Rowbotham presents literally hundreds of pieces of information by third party sources which he did not himself collect.

There are Flat Earthers on this forum who believe that Earth Not a Globe depicts a finite disk earth, an 80,000 foot tall ice wall, and a flat sun and moon. Clearly, RE'er or FE'er, many people on this forum have a fundamental problem with reading the actual material.

It's not the most widely accepted map because the most widely accepted map is the one that looks like the UN map. Do I have to spell it out for you?

Ridiculous.  I expected better out of you Tom.  I think you owe some of us an apology. 

In fact, I am recently rereading ENaG for who knows which time to annotate and review.  I was hoping to preempt my works publishing with annotated republished and reviewed copies of flat earth classics annotated, reviewed, and commented on by experts with updated layout and infographics / diagrams.  I was thinking that you and I would serve as two great editors for ENaG and already have a handful of artists in mind. 

The reasoning for an infinite disk I don't recall however in ENaG.  I had to look into other works and quotes outside of his firsthand published material to realize his clever hint at it in ENaG.   Specifically I believe he talks of an earth that goes on for an unknown distance.  Clearly here he is succumbing to his need for accuracy and prudence in published zetetic work (and one would wish scientific work) as well as his philosophical ideologies rather than outright declare what he believes and knows to be true.

It is an equally bold to make statements of what I believe as a Zetetic, without having read the material.

Quote from: markjo
Wilmore quoting Rowbotham in his discourse suggests otherwise.

Where does Rowbotham say that you have to see it to believe it? Earth Not a Globe references literally hundreds of third party materials to support the earth's flattitude. It's not hard to miss. The philosophy can't be "you have to see it to believe it."

Quote from: markjo
If Rowbotham did not collect this information himself, how did he verify its accuracy?

As Rowbotham is quoting scientific and nautical publications, the accuracy of his citations is verified by the field's own processes of corroboration and interna review.

It's just as if I quoted an article from the Journal of Organic Chemistry in an argument. The source material is verified by the process of peer review of the particular field. It doesn't mean that what I quote is not evidence towards my argument.

Ridiculous.  I expected better out of you Tom.  I think you owe some of us an apology. 

Lord Wilmore owes me an apology for declaring what I believe without first reading the material.

It is apparent from the people who put together the FAQ, and from the comments I see from Flat Earthers on this forum that most people have only ever skimmed Earth Not a Globe. I have not come across a single person who I can honestly say has a full understanding of the work.

Thankfully Tom, most of your FE comrades appear to treat ENaG as less than gospel, with improvements begging to be made given Robothem's shortcomings in mathematics and optics.

Please cease telling people to read this limited pamphlet.  You sound like a over zelous priest, berating his bored congregation for not knowing the Psalms.
