Actually since silly little experiments mean "absolute" proof apparently. He is a silly little one that should be "easy" to debunk.
Fill a glass of water all the way to the top, to where it is going to overflow. Then kneel down and look at the top of the glass. Look how the water is "over" the top of the glass but still not overflowing out of the glass. It also looks like the center of the water is just a hair higher than the sides.
Just "throwing" this out there
You must be talking about surface tension. Put a drop of detergent in the water and see of it overflows then.
Yes, my whole point was just that water can "curve" for lack of better words.
I would think it is awesome for the world to be flat! Not only would it mean I get to learn the world I live in all over again. It would also seriously point to a creator, which would support my views even more in the spirituality side.
However, I just haven't found that smoking gun, and so so many signs point to a globe.
You mean you haven't had a smoking gun hit you in the head yet. I have seen many smoking guns to convince me the earth is definitely not a globe. If it wasn't for NASA, as smart as you are, I know you would not believe it either. You have to look at this stuff, as it says in the Bible, through the eyes of a child. If you really want to know you have to look for it and study it. It won't come if you don't.
I do agree with you. However, the Bible itself is even sketchy on the shape of the earth. These are one of many reasons I am mildly fluent in 2nd gen Hebrew and Greek, to try and study exactly what it says. Many mentions of the world shape is usually in metaphors. The few times a more definitive shape has been mentioned, it alluded more to a globe. However, what I take from the Bible, I feel it really is not a super important aspect.
If Yehushua said straight from His mouth that the earth is flat, and it is important we let no one convince us otherwise. I would hold steady to that no matter what I was told, and I would not have even went into the field that I did.
Do you realize I was considered an idiot, especially the last two years of schooling because of my beliefs? It did not matter my grades, accomplishments or age. I cared not (also, evolution collapses under its own ignorance, beliefs don't matter here yet this is another subject)
The whole point is the God I believe in, those words and revelations mean more to me than man's.
Let me ask you this, what are your top 5 "smoking gun proofs" that you have found. Please know I ask this with respect and no sense of sarcasm, I am truly interested.
I have no 'smoking gun proofs' all I have is a belief that a lot of the so called 'scientific facts' are just ways to turn us from God. A lot of scientist don't believe in God and because they don't they don't want God to have any glory. The Bible tells us God created us in his image, science tells us we came from sea scum and we are nothing special. The Bible tells us God created a special place for us called earth. Science tells us earth came from a big bang of nothing. To me, I simply don't believe science is correct because I can feel and see the presence of God and to me it is only logical that creation came from a creator called God. If science is steering us down the wrong path or trying to make us believe in something that has no proof how can one be sure they aren't doing it in other ways? To me, these two issues alone is enough to make me skeptical of science. If anyone tells me that they don't believe in God, I simply don't believe them and I'm a little skeptical of other things they may say that appear to deny the existence of God. Why should science be any different? This is just me, you may believe otherwise.
I do agree with you here...I really do. As I have stated many times modern science is 2 percent science and 98 percent conclusion of whatever entity is sponsoring or controlling the "data".
Never accept anyone's " word" when you hear the "results" of a test. Look at the actual data (which is actually very hard to find), when you see that you will truly see how biased the "conclusions" are.
For example a statistics run in a small community figured out the women were having children earlier. Instead of looking at the obvious factors such as the community standing, religious, financials, morale, ect ect ect. These are all common things you would look at in this scenario. However, instead in big letters "PROOF EVOLUTION IS STILL HAPPENING!!!" Ignoring any other factor...I mean give me a break. This was real and was published...
Yes it has been the goal of humans to delete God in anyway. We don't like to have to answer to someone, we do not like not being the top dog in the food chain..it is humanistic characteristics. Plenty of warnings in the Bible. Plus the oldest trick in the book to lead us astray. Satan used it in the garden, and hasn't had to change the M.O. yet, if it isnt broken don't fix it.
However, in this day and age, the "deletion" of God I actually find possible. With the governments becoming God (and they don't like to share their glory), science being their magic, and technology allowing one voice to rule an entire planet...these are ingredients to accomplish what people have been trying to do since the beginning. Not to mention most "believers" are just giving lip service at church to fit in with their "club" it's not real belief. I have been screwed over worse by "religious" people more than any athiest. Though this has all been warned to use already, so it is no surprise.
And let me tell you, I only knew one other open believer in God when I graduated. He was ridiculed just as much as I was. When you get to a masters+, God is basically non existent. I was always at least top 5 in my class (sometimes raising to the top in certain areas) and had my bachelor's a week before my 18th bday, finished my doctorates and masters a year and a half early. However, none of this mattered....you are still an idiot and a loser, even though by academic standards, they were "less intelligent" than I.
Then as I moved into my profession, things did not improve. The only change is they look more at your work than "you". Clients still think I am stupid, but they want my service lol. So we just don't talk about it.
Ending it, I do really enjoy true non biased science. To its core it is not evil. However just like anything can be, it can be used for evil and certainly is.
It's a lonely walk trying to stay true to things. In the music field it is no different. Also you won't catch me in a church, they are no different than cults, and only care for their own power and control. It's a lonely world lol....but this existence is only a blink of an eye
