Shillinoz as I have told you before and you know very well. FE' s have broken the brainwashing system that is perpetually pushed and maintained by the likes of you. Our knowledge enables us to look past mainstream answers when it makes sense logically. We don't just follow the crowd to fit in.
You might have told me, but that does not mean that I believe a word of what you say, so I do not know that very well.
You claim that all theses photos are fake, yet reasonably explain why Russia and the USA would come up with the same message.
There are thousands of photos of the earth, the moon and both in the same photo from space taken by satellites and other spacecraft of quite a number of countries.
A number of these countries have quite different political systems, yet these photos clearly show a spherical rotating earth.
I cannot see how all these photos of the globe can be fake without some conspiracy at the highest level by these very different governments.
We have photos of the Globe from at least the USA, Europe, Russia, India, China and Japan. It would take an unbelievable worldwide conspiracy for all these countries to be faking these photographs.
Here are a couple. The earth rotates very slowly, completing one revolution relative to the sun each 24 hours.
Here is a motion gif where one frame is is taken every hour: Taken by NASA with DSCOVR EPIC. | |
Then there are the Himawari-8 Animations. Here is one:

And then there is this "earth rising" photo taken, not from Apollo 8 but taken by a Russian spacecraft:
Russian Zond 7 "Earth Rising"
Hence Flat-earthers must believe that there is a vast conspiracy against the flat earth.
Hoppy, the earth has been known to be almost perfectly spherical for over 2000 years, get used to it.
The early church certainly believed it.
Very committed Christians like the Venerable Bede, John Calvin and Martin Luther certainly believed the earth to be a Globe.
We call the earth a globe, not as if the shape of a sphere were expressed in the diversity of plains and mountains, but because, if all things are included in the outline, the earth’s circumference will represent the figure of a perfect globe. … For truly it is an orb placed in the centre of the universe; in its width it is like a circle, and not circular like a shield but rather like a ball, and it extends from its centre with perfect roundness on all sides.
<< from: The flat earth myth. >>
And look at the introduction to
John Calvin's Commentary on Genesis - Volume 1.
Page 25,26:
We indeed are not ignorant, that the circuit of the heavens is finite, and that the earth, like a little globe, is placed in the center.
Page 55:
In the meantime, however, the benediction of God so prevails that the earth everywhere lies open that it may have its inhabitants, and that an immense multitude of men may find, in some part of the globe, their home.
Page 73:
From this difficulty, some would free themselves by saying, that the surface of the globe may have been changed by the deluge;
All from: Commentary on Genesis - Volume 1, Author: Calvin, John (1509-1564)
It would appear that
John Calvin certainly
believed the earth to be a Globe, as did most people of his day.
And in
LUTHER ON THE CREATION, A CRITICAL AND DEVOTIONAL COMMENTARY ON GENESIS, Martin Luther leaves no doubt the he believed the Ptolemaic System with its spherical earth.
Still, hoppy, I guess you think that your interpretation of the Scriptures is better than that of the
Venerable Bede,
Martin Luther and
John Calvin. I claim no such expertise.
In closing, you might read:
Who Invented the Flat Earth?
Evolutionists often falsely accuse creationists of believing in a flat Earth. But neither history nor modern scholarship supports the claim that Christians ever widely believed that the Earth was flat. And the Bible doesn’t teach it.
