Why would that be inciting terrorism?  Lorddave was merely describing a type of shop we have here in the US, a bomb-gun shop.  A shop that sells bomb-guns.

Indeed.

Ah yes, the fool agrees with me.

All concept of gentlemanly debate seems to have been lost in this age.

I do find it funny that most of the shills here are "from Australia".

Since its already associated with being "down under" and therefore brings to mind a globe shape of earth.

But... Earth is flat. Like a big sandbox.

And the Jewish Sages agree.

I always wonder why globers treat history in such an ackward fashion.
If certain Jews believed our earth was flat, it accounts for an ancient Sage, but ''Eratosthenes'' is surely a historical figure and a cornerstone for ancient research+facts of the globe.
It is a reckless attempt to cherry pick between history and fantasy from the past to validate their ''globe''.
''Jesus Christ'' is under all sorts of scrunity tests lately and ''Eratosthenes'' is Exhibit A for historical ''spherical earth'' awareness.
Some globers really need to put off their coloured glasses.... :o

Ah yes.... Proven! Just look up Eratosthenes, right? And all of NASAs pretty pictures!! Oohh aahh!

But if you and I were face to face, man to man, on the street, with no computer, only the grass to one side, and the road to the other, and I asked you to prove that the Earth was a globe, you would not be able to.

If someone relies on the character of ''Eratosthenes'' and his ''scientific fieldwork'' to proof ancient believes in a globe then something is very wrong in how you determine the vadility of historic figures.
IOW i could easily claim about a certain mnemosyne who invented language after we stopped growling as wildmen.

It baffles me how little people actually care about history and how to determine ''facts'' about history.

Except that flat earth does not explain those things.  And we have modern technology to actually test this theory with.

Actually there are explanations for those things, ide appreciate it if you stopped lying by saying none exist.

Just because you have a biased opinion and think any explanation for the horizon and sun movement must be wrong because you cannot accept Earth being any other shap than what NASA tells you is not an excuse to lie.

Well YOU explain the the evidence that I have given to YOU. Here are some!

A flat earth model that got all of these right might be a start!
  • A definitive map that distances and direction can be found from.

  • A model of the motion of the sun that gives correct sunrise and sunset, times and directions,
    shows the correct direction and elevation of the sun during the day,
    and as well as explaining the sunrise as we see it, the sun staying the same size all day and setting behind the horizon.

  • Has the correct shapes of all the countries, as have been determined by surveying, in many cases for centuries.

  • an explanation of moon phases and eclipses.

  • a model of the planets and stars that agrees with our observations - even with simple visual observations would be a start.
But, I am afraid that the list grows and grows because the Heliocentric Globe works!

There are numerous little things that crop up which simply make no sense on the Flat Earth.

Now Mr Arealhumanbeing, don't just say that the "evidence is there"! Tell us YOUR evidence!

Just look at the threads on "Which Flat Earth Map is Most Accurate", "direction of the sun at sun set", "Lunar eclipse" and "I live in the southern hemisphere. Can any FE explain my summer?"

And that is just threads running right noe in the Q&A!

No, they are demonstrably wrong.  There would be no hard edge on the horizon.  The sun would change size and shape throughout the day.

Oh, no, he cannot just admit to mistakes.

He must maintain his online shill profile to remain believable.

You sad sorry shill...

I cant imagine what the people will do to you when they all wake up.

Earth is flat.

NASA knows it.

Incorrect! Arealhumanbeing believes Earth is flat.

Prove it! I don't remember even seeing any evidence from you.

Quote from: Arealhumanbeing

Incorrect!
If you disagree, Prove it!

Quote from: Arealhumanbeing
The Jewish sages know/knew it.
No, The Jewish sages know/knew believed it.

But, so what, "Boko (Haram) also says the earth is flat"!

The threats are outlined in a new report by Human Rights Watch,
which lays bare the devastating impact wreaked by Boko Haram
on Nigeria's school system. File photo Image by: AFP

Quote from: Times Live, South Africa
Teachers of the subject have emerged as an unlikely top target for the group because their lessons contradict its bizarre views that the earth is flat and that rainfall is caused by God's divine will rather than by evaporation.

They are now ranked alongside Nigerian security chiefs and senior politicians as prime candidates for assassination.
From: Boko says the earth is flat.
Just because an ancient group like the Jewish Sages believes that the earth is flat means nothing!

Quote from: Arealhumanbeing
Mankind used to know it.
No, Mankind used to know believe the earth to be flat,
simply because they had seen no evidence to the contrary.

Sure back in the small region of Babylon and surrounding regions. But there is a massive difference between the Babylonian "flat earth" and the modern "neo-flatist model".
They actually believed that the sun moon and stars rose from behind the horizon.

Not like this current "neo-flatist model" with the heavenly bodies circling above the earth.
This leaves the modern flat earthers unable to explain not only the sun and moon rising and setting or even lunar phases and eclipses as we observe them.

So Arealhumanbeing, it's time you to start stating your reasons.

Earth is flat because thats what I see it as. Ive never seen, with my own eyes, a giant floating spinning ball.

I know it's true because NASA lies constantly.

And also because the Jewish sages think its flat as well.

Why dont you go convince Boko that the Earth is a ball, Rab?

False logic throughout.

If you only belive what you can see does that mean you don't believe in electrons or atoms?
Do you think you computer works by magic as there is no moving parts to observe?

Where is your proof regarding NASA?
What credibility do Jewish sages have in regard to anything let alone the nature of our planet?

The Hebrew Word NASA

Found in the Bible over 600 times.

The verb now known as נשׂא (nasa') denotes a motion upward and usually away.

It can also mean to deceive, delude, beguile, and lend... but only with interest.

You can find some ancient rabbis, who studied little more than the Bible only, whose grasp of astronomy and planetary science was very sketchy.

On the other hand, for the last two centuries, at least, Jews have been among the most prominent astronomers/astrophysicists and not only believe the earth is round but could PROVE it thirty different ways.

And I am decidedly cranked by the antisemitic cartoon shown in this thread.

I always wonder why globers treat history in such an ackward fashion.
Really, you might find that the shoe is on the other foot!
Quote from: dutchy
If certain Jews believed our earth was flat, it accounts for an ancient Sage, but ''Eratosthenes'' is surely a historical figure and a cornerstone for ancient research+facts of the globe.
Aristotle, Eratosthenes, Aristarchus of Samos are certainly historical figures, but we do not rely on their evidence. The "Heliocentric Globe theory" is a continuous progression from that time right up till the present day.

Quote from: dutchy
It is a reckless attempt to cherry pick between history and fantasy from the past to validate their ''globe''.
''Jesus Christ'' is under all sorts of scrunity tests lately and ''Eratosthenes'' is Exhibit A for historical ''spherical earth'' awareness.
Where's this "cherry picking".
There is simply no connection or competition between Jesus Christ and the shape of the earth.
The vast majority of Christians have no doubts that the earth is a Globe, nor that Jesus Christ is a historical figure and the Son of God.

It's only a minority, such as yourself, that choose to make that link.

But, there is no doubt that the early Christian Church, in general,
supported the Globe Earth, though the shape of the earth was never a "matter of faith".

And you might even read this on Muslim belief, both current and historical:

Hey Rabinoz, you lying shill twat, how long is a "stadia"?

You should know, since you use Eratosthenes and his work as evidence for a globe so often.

Irrelevant!

But, you are incorrect, as usual, Eratosthenes did not set out to prove the earth is a Globe, he already knew that!
Eratosthenes was one of the earliest to measure the circumference of the earth.

And you might note that:
Eratosthenes result, though not as accurate, is quite consistent with measurements done by the Indian mathematician Aryabhata (AD 476–550), the medieval Persian Abu Rayhan al-Biruni (973–1048), Jean Picard in 1669–1670 to US geodesist Hayford  in ~1910 with an accuracy of 200 m to recent even more more precise measurements from NASA.

As to the definition of a stade, that is far from certain. You could read up on it yourself in:
Mathematical Accociation of America, Eratosthenes and the Mystery of the Stades - How Long Is a Stade?

Mind you, the method used by Eratosthenes can be extended to prove that the earth is a Globe!
