Global experiment being undertaken on the 28th June and 27th July

Spherical - shaped like a sphere, therefore a sphere, therefore round & SOLID

Yes.

Note the qualifier in the definition 'like' It does not mean a perfect sphere. Planets are not perfect spheres. You can call them spherical, oblate spheroids, ellipsoids etc but saying they are spheres is technically incorrect. Your new mate rabinoz can back me up on this one

I know I'm being a pedantic arse. It's what I do. Your mate rab can back me up on that one too! 

Yeah I understand they are not perfect spheres
The point is they are all solid objects, like all objects in space
But the earth is somehow different, it is flat
Out of the billions upon billions of objects in space ONLY the earth is flat ??

I don't think flat earthers are claiming the earth to be hollow....

Did I say hollow ?
I think not.
How about answering direct questions with direct answers ?
Unless, of course, you don't have any answers ?

You alluded to Flat Earthers claiming the Earth was not a solid object. Okay, so if not solid, then what?

Remember to take pictures of the Moon tomorrow as close to the local Moon rise as possible. Post the images here or in the thread in the other forum.

Well obviously FLAT EARTHERS think that the earth is FLAT hence the name FLAT EARTHERS
I dont understand why you have to be such a dickhead, why cant you just answer questions like normal people ?
Oh wait I just answered my own question

Remember the advice you gave to your son regarding bad language and raising your voice.

Why can't you be more precise? You come here spouting planets are spheres when they aren't and talk some jumbled mess that flat earthers don't think the earth is solid.

So in the spirit of the OP question, will you be taking a picture of the moon tomorrow? I'll be at work and rab in QLD is going to take one. He said a photo further down south would be good. You being in Melbourne could help out there

There will be enough pics taken to prove what all sensible people already know
Don't change the subject or deflect the point
If planets are not spheres (not perfect spheres), what are they ?

Just answer the question

That might be outside my control.
Maybe one of you undoubted powers can make sure we have clear weather here. I also have to fit it around getting to a concert.

And to answer:

There will be enough pics taken to prove what all sensible people already know.

Agreed, sensible people have known that for millennia, but . . . . . . 'nuff said .

It astounds me that people can be this Fxxxing ignorant

What website are you on again ?

Quora What is the factual evidence Earth is flat?

Answer from: David Bentley, MSc Tech, Science fan, rational thinker
There isn’t any. It’s that simple.

Flat Earthers have to be just having fun. No-one can be that stupid.

It is ridiculously easy to prove that the Earth is round.

All you have to do is get into a boat and motor out to sea at 10mph keeping an eye on a 500′ tall building on shore.

If you can still see it after 4 hours, the Earth is flat and I will give you a million dollars. (you can bring your most powerful telescope)

But you won’t be able to…


From: Quora What is the factual evidence Earth is flat?

You'll have to hunt down the list to find that answer, but there's lots more to read about what others think of flat-earthers on the way down.

If you argue with idiots you wil lose because they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

So why did you join? To be beaten? You're doing a fine job 

Also I said the planets were spherical, or oblate spheroids or ellipsoids were other terms you could use. You were the one that changed the subject originally. You seem to have trouble starting your own threads and thus hijack others

Don't mind him. Shifter is worse than a genuine flat earther. He knows the earth isn't flat, but is only here to keep his imagination on life support.

Shifter,
There are mentally stressed people who are vulnerable to deception, and you are hurting them by playing around. You, and anyone else lobbying for flat earth for laughs; please find another hobby. This is my plea

I see the 'defender of truth' fails at comprehension also. The truth (as you should know) are that planets are not spheres. They are spherical. In defending of truth, words and indeed, semantics, matter.

At last ... that's all I wanted from you.

shifter – shift
shift – loosen
loosen – come undone

You came to argue with flat earthers did you not? I'm not a flat earther and I don't think you joined just for me. Or did you???

Anyway, you've been a boring n00b, 2/10 at best. If you feel happy and content to now leave than all the better. (Unless you want to keep arguing with the 'idiots' here to be brought down to their level that is).

Again, the advice you gave your kid was sound. Don't be a 'do as I say, not as I do' man. Practice what you preach. Don't swear, insult or raise your voice just because you think you are losing an argument.

Anyway, good luck with the rest of your life 

There is no such thing as a global experiment, unless you happen to be conducting it on Mars.

There is no such thing as a global experiment, unless you happen to be conducting it on Mars.

This Global experiment is on the real earth, not your imaginary one.

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.
<< from:  The flat earth myth. >>

And in John Calvin's Commentary on Genesis - Volume 1.

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)

My emphasis.
The Venerable Bede and John Calvin certainly believed the earth to be a Globe, as did most people of his day.

  Are you claiming that some silly fool flattened it in the meantime?

The hate, it flows deeply through you Salcat8. Would you be happier if we held a renaming ceremony in your honor? I can help with that, just let me know!

No one is here to answer your questions on demand. And no one is here to be berated and called names by some random n00m. Chillax, homie.

Just answer questions you are asked, idiot
That's all you have to do, idiot

I answered your question. Quite a few times actually. Do you not know how to read?

I said they were spherical. I also said you could call them oblate spheroids or ellipsoids.

Do you need me to repeat it again? I will if your idiot brain still cant comprehend the answer

I think Salcat8 has destroyed his credibility and honour to the point that only a name change can restore it. He hasn't posted that much yet so the sooner it is changed the better (especially for him) it will be. In time, with a new name, people will forget what a hateful, resentful and contemptful man he was.

You should change your name to Deflector ... Defender of the Idiots
You also need to improve your grammar.

Involuntary celibacy confirmed. Why don't you update your signature to 'Idiot'. That way you don't have to keep signing off as 'Idiot' to remind us of indeed what an idiot you are.

OK let's not keep trading jabs in the upper fora please. AR is begging for some attention.

Quote from: Salcat8 on June 26, 2018, 10:33:59 PM

What are they then ?
Are they flat ?
The Sun is flat ?

They are spherical

If you are going to hang around it might be worth your while updating to the latest solar system model

Wow!!  I didn't realize that there were any heliocentric flat earth models.

Remember to take pictures of the Moon tomorrow as close to the local Moon rise as possible. Post the images here or in the thread in the other forum.

I might've confused people. Thread is saying June 28th, but I've been pitching June 27th. I've got a 99.9% full moon tonight.

Ok rab, you're up. Almost time to take a picture of the Moon. According to bom.gov.au (http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/satellite/?ref=ftr) there doesn't appear to be clouds over QLD so you are good to go. Don't let the globe earthers down. Failure to provide a photo will be admitting defeat on your part.

Don't let 'em down
